>>IMO the first two should have prevented the latter to happen. Since they didn't that means there are big problems brewing under the surface<<

you got the second part right, but the first two "strong appreciation and VERY accommodative lenders" should be considered contributing factors, not ameliorative.

part of the problem is servicing the debt load. (obvious in the case of foreclosure)

very accommodative lenders add to that problem.

ild,re:"confused". Sorry for those who really suffered.
Could some of these are: 'take the money and run'.
Say, you 'run up' re-fi xxxK+', the Bankers got the fees,
the middleman got their fees and you get the money and say :
thank you, here's the key.
Everyone involved are happy.
What's brewing could be, like the 'dot-con': grab the
money and run before the FED figure out what's really
happening.

and on the other hand we have record number of foreclosures.

RD Buschman, on the amazon thread, said that while today's forclosures are a record at 1.23%, the last record was set in Q1 1999 at 1.14%.

If thats the case I would attest that the increase in foreclosures is less economic than the WSJ implies. Maybe more aggressive mktg on the part some lenders = more foreclosures, regardless of the economic climate. L
