No liquidity stone being left unturned (aka further distortions in the market pricing of risk): <<Demand for asset-backeds has been supported by arbitrage bids by players who pool ABS and other bonds and package them into collateralized bond obligations(CBOs), and by the Labour Department's recent proposal that permits pension funds to buy lower-rated investment-grade ABS.>> biz.yahoo.com Also, this from a couple of weeks ago (which still leaves me amazed): <<NEW YORK, Aug 31 (Reuters) - The U.S. asset-backed securities (ABS) market closed out a lazy August on Thursday with a $2.9 billion subprime mortgage transaction from Lehman Bros Holdings Inc. (NYSE:LEH - news). [...] The Lehman deal was the highlight of the session. Its $2.2 billion 2.3-year senior tranche, carrying a financial guarantee from Freddie Mac, was sold at 14.5 basis points over the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor), which stood at 6.63 percent late Thursday.>> biz.yahoo.com Well, taxpayers don't even realize they are going to get to pick up the check for this little party.
