:50 p.m. CALABASAS - With foreclosures mounting, Countrywide Financial Corp. announced a $16 billion bailout plan on Tuesday for borrowers who might lose their homes because of a mortgage rate reset. A top company executive promised generous flexibility for borrowers whose hybrid adjustable loans are now or may soon be unaffordable.
This paper discusses the events surrounding the 2007-08 credit crunch. It highlights the period of exceptional macrostability, the global savings glut, and financial innovation in mortgage-backed securities as the precursors to the crisis. The credit crunch itself occurred when house prices fell and subprime mortgage defaults increased. These events caused investors to reappraise the risks of high-yielding securities, bank failures, and sharp increases in the spreads on funds in interbank markets. The paper evaluates the actions of the authorities that provided liquidity to the markets and failing banks and indicates areas where improvements could be made. Similarly, it examines the regulation and supervision during this time and argues the need for changes to avoid future crises.

Demanding a moratorium on foreclosures, a highly questionable "self-financing" government bailout of imprudent borrowers and a five-year freeze on the initial "teaser" rates for adjustable-rate subprime mortgage, Hillary Clinton evidently believes there never was a housing bubble. In her mind, it appears that any deviation from this unsustainable trend is either un-American or an assault on the middle class. "Home prices dropped almost 9 percent last quarter" from year-earlier levels, she recently noted, emphasizing this was a decline in "home prices for everyone. If you've paid off your mortgage," she disingenuously observed, then "you have suffered the steepest decline on record." Of course, if you have "paid off your mortgage" (or even if you bought your home before 2000), then you b...
There is much talk of late of a federal government bailout of borrowers who have defaulted on subprime mortgages. But to think that the government has an obligation to pick up the tab for individuals who made poor financial decisions is ludicrous at best. Many subprime borrowers got adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) that allowed them to pay only the interest on the loan each month, which meant they wouldn't build up any equity unless their home appreciated in value. Problem is, most either did not understand that or did not care, or perhaps did understand it but had no other mortgage options due to their income, credit scores or debt/income ratios.
In this article the authors make two claims. First, they argue that the current subprime mortgage and credit crisis would have been avoided, or at least greatly mitigated, if existing securities laws had been properly applied to subprime mortgage brokers and originators. Second, they argue that under any of what they regard as three reasonable interpretations of the securities laws, many of the problematic mortgage brokers are actually under the SEC's jurisdiction. This tantalizing possibility does not appear to have occurred to anybody in this crisis, at least to this point. Part II of this article describes how the evolution of the mortgage industry has dramatically changed the economic properties of the financial products known as mortgages. They describe the growth of the subprime m...

With nearly $400 billion in adjustable-rate subprime mortgages scheduled to experience significant increases in their interest rates next year, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson has outlined the possible terms of an ill-advised election-year taxpayer bailout for an indeterminate number of distressed homeowners and the investors who hold the homeowners' deteriorating subprime mortgages in their asset portfolios. Meanwhile, other subprime-mortgage investors stand to see the value of their assets plummet as the government puts intense pressure on them to freeze for several years the teaser interest rates that are about to reset to higher levels. On the other hand, in the likely event that the upward interest-rate reset would tip many of these mortgages into foreclosure, those assets may alre...
