---------------------------------
Alright, in the
last year how many times have we seen this headline, "How Bad Will
the Mortgage Crisis Get?" The speculation, the guessing, the
analyzing never seems to end - and never seems to be right.
The current options on the table to help the recovery seem
to be the stimulus package, a bail out of the big banks or a crash
and burn recession! The extra check in the mail is nice, but will do
little to stimulate the economy and obviously we need to avoid a
recession at all costs. So that leaves us with the bailout.
While this leaves a hollow feeling in my gut, to bail out the
greedy institutions that got us into this mess, it's a better option
then a recession. Honestly though, with the cost of our current
military action, and the debt we currently have as a nation, I'm not
sure where the government will come up with the hundreds of billions
of dollars needed to bail these banks out?
Have we notified
the US mint workers they won't be going home any time soon?
Seriously though, we seem to be at a critical point. With
the adjustable rates resetting, home prices falling, unemployment
rising and interest rates creeping back up - it doesn't look good.
The efforts thus far have only helped to stop the bleeding, they
aren't going to solve the problem.
Collectively, we all need
to start thinking about the big picture and how to get our industry
- and our economy - back on track. |

could metamorphose into the biggest debacle to hit the sector since
the savings & loan catastrophe of the 1980s, which caused some
$500 billion in losses to the banking industry. And that means the
future of a couple of name brand financial institutions could be in
jeopardy. Full Story |

Financial's shoddy lending practices have left hundreds of thousands
of mortgage borrowers at risk of losing the single most important
asset in their lives -- their homes. If Bank of America acquires
Countrywide, these mortgage borrowers could either benefit or suffer
greatly from the merger. A letter signed by 91 California community
groups was sent today to Bank of America's Chief Executive Officer
Kenneth Lewis asking him to declare a foreclosure moratorium, and
ensure the Bank will keep troubled borrowers in their homes. Full Story |
