三日前,標普宣佈會喺佢哋嘅標普500指數,剔除周末被收歸國有嘅房貸美同房利美,前日生效。取而代之有兩家新公司,不過就要今日先至生效。即係呢兩日嚟,大家睇嘅係標普498指數。
其實,喺呢啲跌市大時代,往往都會出現指數唔夠公司嘅情況。今次已經算好,只係兩日唔夠數,記得千禧年時,dot com出現倒閉潮,納斯100指數,長期都維持「納斯九十幾指數」。
債價下跌保險要賠
大家要記得,花旗國財長保爾森,話到明兩房唔倒閉,咁點解又會被人郁出指數?睇番標普公司嘅新聞稿,剔除嘅理由係因兩房嘅市值不足,達唔到要有50億美元市值嘅要求。宣佈剔除當日,房利美市值 10億美元,而房貸美就6億美元,非常合理,履行法治精神。
不過,經過多個月嘅跌市,標普500指數中已有過百間公司,市值唔過50億。如果用「剔除兩房日」嘅收市價計算,標普又堅定執行50億美元市值要求。標普500指數?就變成「標普381指數」。跌市真難搞。
講起兩房,原來又有投資銀行家靠今次危機食大茶飯,搵客戶笨。
事緣禮拜一,有個國際衍生工具仲裁機構,喺完全冇成員反對之下,宣佈兩房被收歸國有,已經滿足咗要求,所以被稱為「倒閉咗」。而所有有關「保險」,亦要賠款。
大家都知,今時今日金融市場乜都可以「買保險」。而嗰班投資銀行家,就賣咗好多保障「一旦兩房倒閉,而令兩房債券價格有負面影響」嘅保險。即係如果兩房倒閉,令兩房債價下跌,保險就會賠。
等同國債更添安全
聽聞賣得最多,就係舊年尾今年頭。呢個絕對理所當然,廣告都話,要搵錢就要細心聆聽客戶需要,客戶擔心兩房出事,啲投資銀行家咪賣啲滿足佢哋需要嘅產品。
大家可能會問:「冇成員反對?保險賠得咁大方?賣呢啲債券保險嘅投資銀行唔通有病?」絕對冇病。個個都知,一旦兩房出事,政府一定會收歸國有。如果係咁,兩房債券等同於花旗國國債,等於安全咗好多,個價必升。
咁嘅情況下,保險又使乜賠?幾勁,有如沙漠賣雨傘!唔怪得啲private wealth management banker可以搵咁多。

想問孫柏文一個問題,如果AIG倒閉呢個世界會點。如果我的強積金用AIA,會唔會無晒?

ReplyDeleteThey are only manager.

I swear, the 1997 Indonesian scenario will happen to USA of 08. The biggest financial institutions are ALL nationalised.
thx.
ReplyDeleteo甘我在AIA D人壽保險呢,又會唔會無晒?
umm...
ReplyDeleteI dunno about that one.
But you are locked in as long as there is no "material change"...
But AIG is certainly looking like its going down a very steep downward spiral.
AIG is not a bank, so there is a lot of uncertainty whether they will be saved.
And even if they are saved. How? Who will lose?
