Nah, he won't take this bet on the basis that earnings don't mean anything when broker-dealers can just mark-to-whatever. Which is a valid objection, but I don't think brokerage firms are lying by much. Big commercial banks, on the other hand, I have no idea.

Exactly. These companies are cooking the books by marking to model and not to market. When they eventually mark to market, some of these guys are going bust. I am not saying Goldman is going broke, but I sure as hell wouldn't be buying them. I am buying puts on them. This is not over by a longshot. Just beginning in my opinion.
