Editor’s Note: It seems to me that this concedes the battle to Wall Street. It encourages homeowners to take the loss that at the very least should be shared with ALL the players in the securitization scheme and creates more problems in housing and social services. Excerpt from NYT – do not buy into this […]
Editor’s Note: Home sales will continue to drop, home prices will continue to drop, banks will continue to fail until principal reduction is recognized as the reality of the situation. More than 11 million homeowners are reportedly under water. The real number is closer to 20 million. see Modifications Pushing More Homes Underwater. Our economy cannot […]
Editorial Comment: Actually the number is far higher. We compute it as around 45% when all is said and done. First of all there is consensus that property values are actually around 15% less than seller’s are asking. Second costs of selling the home makes up the rest, taking another 6-10% off the selling proceeds. […]
I have received a number of reports that “outsource providers” are servicing the foreclosers by creating color copies of documents and submitting them as originals. One report is that the “original” was examined at the courthouse and found to be a printout from a very good color printer. It’s a neat trick and one that […]
Remember that $700 billion in TARP? It was dwarfed by other government programs including one from the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve went from a non-existent player in the mortgage backed security market a year ago to owning $904 billion of the mortgage backed securities today.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Earth,the final frontier. Somewhere there are people who grasp the concept of reality. But to give credit where credit is due Floyd gives primary print space to contrary points of view. Even better, he shows his professionalism by asking the two questions (1) why would banks lose the note and (2) “what am […]
By Brad Keiser For those of you who have been to our seminars, (coming to Southern California next month) You have heard me ask about Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke…”Are they stupid or were they lying when they said everything was OK through out all of 2007 and most of 2008?” You have seen and heard why Neil and I declare […]
The reason why the figure is so low is exactly why we have been saying that the Wall Street pretenders have no right to foreclose. They never owned the mortgage backed securities because they sold them “forward.” That’s a fancy way of saying they sold the securities before they existed. They were a figment of […]
Atlantic Article Submitted by multiple readers, I read this as soon as my issue was delivered. It’s true. And to add insult to injury, the answer to the question on everyone’s mind: Where did the money go? $350 billion disappeared down a black hole. The banks and investment banks got the money under the presumption […]
