“of AAA-rated subprime-mortgage-backed securities issued in 2006, 93 percent — 93 percent! — have now been downgraded to junk status.” Editor’s Note: What homeowners and their lawyers, forensic analysts, and experts need to realize is that the ratings scam on Wall street was only one-half of the equation in a scheme to defraud homeowners. If […]

Nobody ever thought that returning a lady’s purse to her after a purse snatcher ran away with it was a gift.

Editor’s Comment: Again, myth prevails. The monster that gobbled our home equity and the value of our pension funds came from the waters beneath the market not from some economic disaster or sudden migration of population to Australia. The “loss of value” was nothing of the sort. Prices were going up during a decade when […]

October 23, 2008 Alan Greenspan was wrong today when he said that investors did not look critically enough at the ratings. Finance is based upon trust, and these companies had been trustworthy for many decades. Here is the real story. The very notion of pooling is and was illegal.
