This has caused the value of these bonds to fall—so much so that the banks holding them are forced to mark them down in value (this practice is called mark-to-market accounting) and take losses on them. Because they have fallen in value by so much, in most cases no one will buy them from the firms holding them (investment banks like Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley).

It would appear that Paulson doesn’t have that kind of juice in the banking industry. That’s why he needed the EESA bill and the TARP program. S. Treasury cannot move markets by just talking. Paulson has tried this in the past and it has failed.
