Imagine a really big tube of lipstick. Imagine a pig. Imagine a bunch of people in very expensive suits getting ready to put a lot of lipstick on the pig. But there is a problem. The pig is dead. The pig is rotting. It seems to me of little use to put a lot of lipstick on a dead pig. Now we will see if others will buy it.

What about the assumption by the markets that the collateral for US housing is what it is. If the average housing price falls by 20 percent ($40,000), the loss in the underlying value of the collateral is $40,000*150 million houses= 6 trillion dollars. Now you are talking real money. -Arun
