Don’t kill mark-to-market

Posted by: nattsang In: economics

Last month, I referred to Michael Lewis and David Einhorn’s excellent New York Times article and mentioned my opinion that it’s utterly foolhardy to relax accounting regulations by dropping the mark-to-market standard.

In this posting, Yves Smith gives a great explanation as to why dropping it is such a bad idea.
