The Deal newsweekly, week of Oct. 13

Events continue to move extremely quickly. The Deal newsweekly again focuses on the continuing crisis, anchored by a trenchant piece by Ron Orol out of Washington on the bailout package -- a package that, in the swirl of events, has almost been forgotten. That's followed by a postmortem by Washington bureau chief Bill McConnell on what really happened in the Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co., Wachovia Corp., Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. imbroglio. From New York, Matt Miller surveys Asia, which not only went through a searing financial crisis of its own in the late-'90s but felt the lash...


The Deal newsweekly, week of Sept. 29

Events keep flying past so quickly that even a weekly has to cast its line forward a long way. There's only one story, and that's what we lead with: the continuing drama in Washington over Henry Paulson's bailout package. On that subject we've got a number of different takes, from our Washington bureau chief Bill McConnell's detailed review of the various plans, to Vipal Monga's dissection of what it means to become a bank holding company, to Michael Rudnick's look at the assets up for sale at American International Group Inc. and my own take on the challenges the...


The Deal newsweekly, week of Sept. 22

This was the week that was -- at least that's what the cover of the newsweekly declares. (We can only hope we don't have to put out a sequel next week.) And appropriately enough, we lean into the subject with a package of stories looking at the changing structure of Wall Street, the messy complexities of the Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. bankruptcy, the deep intricacies of those dangerous credit default swaps behind the American International Group Inc. rescue, the constantly changing face of regulation, with a side visit to London for a look at the HBOS plc sale and...


The Deal newsweekly, week of Sept. 15

A suggestion: Drag yourself from the Lehman Brothers Inc. rumor mill and consider the new issue of The Deal. Just to prove we don't wallow completely in distress -- of course, we're as happy to rubberneck at a car wreck as much as anyone -- we offer a two-story, one-two punch on an industry that continues to be fascinating for any deal maven: music. Few industries have gone through more fundamental change than recorded music, and the resulting deal activity has been fantastic: from venture investments in a host of music Web sites trying to go beyond iTunes (which...


The Deal newsweekly, week of Sept. 8

Our theme in our annual back-to-work Deal Economy Preview issue is, ta-dah, regulation. By now the credit crisis is over a year old, and while a lot of bad stuff is still happening -- see Vipal Monga's nice dissection of Lehman Brothers' plight in the issue -- the most substantive activity for the future is still to come: namely, how we will reform a regulatory establishment that nearly everyone believes is broken. In fact, we offer up a smorgasboard of perspectives on this question. My Transactions column tackles the issues that an institutional reshuffling will not remedy. David Marcus...


The Deal newsweekly, week of Aug. 11

Vacation time is almost over. Back to work, back to school. Back to work to pay for school. This week in The Deal, Matt Miller takes a comprehensive look at the student loan business, a giant and deeply troubled industry with problems that eerily parallel the woes of government-sponsored enterprises like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (One difference: Demand for student loans is very high; demand for mortgages is sinking.) Miller traces the history of the government's involvement in student lending, analyzes the situation of major players like Sallie Mae and examines the temporary fix imposed by Congress. This is...

Real estate and SWFs: The Deal, week of March 10

Well, here's a surprise: Things aren't so hot in the real estate biz. Fortunately, the latest edition of The Deal newsweekly goes beyond that idea. Our three stories take a different perspective on the turmoil in real estate. Vipal Monga drills into the collateralized loan obligation mess, examining how it grew so large, how it cratered and, most importantly, what might be left after the storm clears. Vyvyan Tenorio looks at middle-market real estate from an investing angle. She reports on how two opportunity funds, O'Connor Capital Partners and Arcapita Bank BSC, are  negotiating the turbulence of the market. Short...

Editor's Note

Editor's letter: Nov. 16, 2009

Beneath the veneer of Wall Streeters beats the same heart, stirred by the same determinants of behavior.
