Hi Inc .... this maybe to estoteric but YOU and I are the lenders of last resort .... i.e. we are the porkEES ..... Who I'd like to pork are all the mortgage brokers who have already BOOKED their commissions and banked their commission monies selling [MR and MRS not qualified] mortgages that would let them see their dreams come true. And Yes - adults are like kids. (I know because I'm 60) meaning someone offered them a dream - and they rationalized down from there .... Its beyond me but the guy that runs CountryWide made $42 million in SALARY last year - not stock options - SALARY. And nobody is coming after him or [them] with respect to - were any laws broken. specifically - did mortgage brokers engage in how to LIE about income, etc. - in short - how to game the system .... They have already made - a clean gettaway .... and have wiped the sheen off of the faces of all those astute, adroit, erudite money managers that bought all that paper .... ditto for the commissions earned by the sellers of that paper and the AAA bond raters themselves ... The real funny part is - NONE OF THE WINNERS IN THIS MESS ever used their own money. I am envious. No matter whats happens - you will not have a problem finding a house with a lower price than today sometime in 2008. albeit NYC and a few places like that will be the exceptions. regards, John
