If you are not part of the solution, there is good money to be made in prolonging the problem.

"Some financial firms have sought in recent weeks to avoid write-downs by selling mortgage positions to hedge funds, with an agreement that allows the hedge fund to sell them back after a set period."

I wonder if the financial firms (eg GS etc,)could do this internally with their own Hedge Funds to avoid marking to market.

I can't imagine this would be kosher.
