great article, ........we are getting used to this by now, aren't we?

Same ole playbook, different quarter.........

remember when it was all the fault of :

those evil subprime people then it was the greedy evil mortgage people now it is the 'strategic defaulters'

never ever the guys who sold the 1,000+ securitization of those mortgage products, sold over and over and over again all over the world........shhhhhhh...............or the regulators in Congress that were guarding that henhouse..........no

let's go beat some homeowner that lost their home..........

there is no way to tell a 'strategic default' from a necessary one.

We see how good we were at telling the 'good' borrower from the 'bad' borrower

now are we going to trust a bank that 'missed' 10.7 billion dollars on their OWN BOOKS to tell us about other's motives............... Permalink
