Harry Rady of Rady Asset Management discusses his apprehension concerning the stress tests that government regulators are subjecting financial institutions to during the present economic downturn that the United States is facing at the moment.
Rady’s first concern is that the regulators don’t really have the “big picture” in mind. He believes that the stress tests are too homogeneous and rely too heavily on quantitative metrics.
His other concern is that there is a built in conflict of interest between the regulators, shareholders and management. The job of the regulators is to make sure that the companies stay solvent and that the flow of capital is unobstructed. They are not doing anything to protect the interests of the shareholders.

Rebecca Jarvis of the popular CNBC financial news program “Closing Bell” interviewed Harry Rady of Rady Asset Management located in San Diego, California along with Alex Sanchez, the President of the Florida Banker’s association, on March 3, 2009. In wake of the “economic free fall” the U.S. economy has been experiencing, Harry Rady shares his thoughts on what creative action the U.S. government might take in order to boost the economy and help homeowners maintain economic health and security. Rady suggests in this interview that the U.S. government should initiate a 4% mortgage program which he believes will refinance all these “toxic mortgages” off the balance sheets and put between $2,000 and $4,000 into the hands of every homeowner. In response to Rebecca Jarvis’s question of how this action would help increase cash flow to small business in America, Rady responds that in order to get the economy back on its feet we must begin with the housing industry.
