That Turned Out Well, Didn't It?
The FASB's little rule change from back in April is working its magic. Floyd Norris posts on a Credit Suisse analyst who has calculated that Q1 pretax earnings improved by $4.9B for the twenty financial companies that adopted the rule early. In some instances the increase was greater than 5%. Um, material?
Asset values for five of the twenty companies were marked up to $4.5B from $27M as result of the FASB'scaving to Congress clarification of the mark-to-market rule.
Appears reasonable.
