Thanks for that post, specifically identifying where all that money went. In simplest terms, the lending rate doesn't matter if banks won't lend. At some point, if history is any guide at all, that will change. But I am seeing no indication of that yet, and, in fact, they are actually tightening their lending requirements as the recession drags on and more customers encounter problems. PB
