'OCC Likely To Curtail Option ARMs' originatortimes.com Anyone hearing anything new? Tough talk was over six months ago.. Clueless fools at the controls should have attacked the RE bubble from this side a bit more. Now the new guys Bernanke and Paulson will be the sacrificial lambs if the experiment fails..

5 year auction fiasco In the end, the indirect bid for the five-year note was indeed weak, with just 18.3% of demand coming from domestic and foreign institutional buyers and central banks. That's the lowest so-called indirect bid for five-year notes in three years and seemed to confirm the downtrend in indirect demand at Treasury auctions seen throughout this year. As a result, dealers ended snapping up 80% of the $14 billion sold. The bid-to-cover ratio was a tame 2.05 and the government sold the notes at a yield of 5.203%.
