More Lehman Documents: The NY Fed's Blow-by-Blow Account

By Anonymous

ADVERTISEMENTS

Since people seem to like the bits of information from the Lehman Examiner's Report, I'll keep going. I've got plenty more where that came from!

This is probably my favorite document from the Examiner's Report ? it's a compilation of the daily reports from the NY Fed's on-site examiners at Lehman. It covers August 15, 2008 through September 11, 2008. It's as close as it gets to an official blow-by-blow account of Lehman's downfall, and it contains all the relevant information ? daily updates on Lehman's repo funding, commercial paper, liquidity pool, and CDS spreads, as well as market color from Lehman's treasury and from other primary dealers. This is what Tim Geithner and (I have to imagine) Hank Paulson were seeing every day.

To read it chronologically, which you really should, you have to start from the bottom. I OCR'd it and ran a bookmark program (because I'm that OCD), so you should be able to navigate to specific days. I have a similar compilation that covers July 1 ? July 23, which I'll post as well if people want.

Enjoy! (If you enjoy this kind of thing)
