It’s been a month since I updated my list of writedowns and other credit crisis-related news, so I am sure that this list is filled with holes and missing information. Here it goes nonetheless.

Below are the writedowns from the previous month. These links are compiled in the credit crisis timeline.

The big news this week is that writedowns have moved near trillion dollar territory. As all of the banks report earnings and come clean about losses, the figures are staggering. The largest writedowns came from the GSEs with Fannie Mae losing a staggering $29 billion. AIG was close behind. See my post, [...]

This past week I have been particularly distracted by the political headlines in the run-up to the U.S. Presidential election, so I apologize if I have missed a few stories in the financial press.
The writedowns do continue unabated and we have now seen over $670 billion in losses and writedowns since the beginning of last [...]

I have not posted all day because I have been spending most of the day doing site maintenance — importing the data from the credit crisis timeline into a database, which will make it a lot easier to update, backfill and make changes to the timeline. We now have about 700 discrete events catalogued [...]

Below are the writedowns from the previous week. These [...]

My last post’s title “The panic is over” was a bit cheeky given the Dow was down an astounding 700-some points today. The crux of the matter is continued economic weakness due to slowing consumer spending. And that means more writedowns to come.
Rather than belabor this point, I will note that the [...]

As I do every week, I am updating you with links to important news in the credit crisis. These links are compiled in my credit crisis timeline, which is the most comprehensive list credit crisis links on the Internet.
However, one big hole in this list is that it does not include major central bank [...]

For me, the most important events of late have been the European banking sector meltdown. Just last week, German officials were lecturing the UK and the U.S. about their banking systems and now we see a number of European institutions falling prey to the credit crisis. No one should feel their banking system [...]

Below are the latest major credit crisis stories from the web that I have seen. Most of these stories have more to do with raising capital, merging, and bankruptcy than writedowns. Quite honestly, I have been caught up in the bailouts so I may have missed a few, so please call me out on anything [...]
