What's The Taxpayers ROI For The Investment We're Making in Wall Street? |
|
Usually, a $700-bn INVESTMENT in a business means that the investors can expect a rate of return on their investment. This ROI is ALWAYS disclosed BEFORE the investor plunks down their cash.
So, what are we expecting as a rate of return when Wall Street turns around? 50%? 80%? Now that we own it, we have the right to ask...and to DEMAND an answer!

1. Just a guess. We'll probably get 60%-70% of it back. |
|
It really depends on two things...at what discount we buy the debt and how the economy fares after we do.
