Just check the recruiting board first. You know we have one right?

lax lending standards


#1 reason.


Regardless of rates, if the lending standards were not reduced due to government wrist twisting the situation would not be as bad as it is today.

We had so many criminals caught up in the real estate pump from lenders to appraisers to bankers and politicians the consumer never had a chance.
Did you really expect different? Dont worry the pump monkeys will be putting a positive spin on it all day.

Since the oil spill they probably have not been fished much by commercial crabbers so the excess are showing up at the beaches.

Yeah it had potential early, but once the pump monkeys got to it, it was no fun.

Auto refi program rumor?

"There are millions of American's with rates much higher than market rates who can't refi due to lack of equity or income needed to qualify for a new vintage loan. Or, because after all of the new vintage loan level adjustments to the rate and fee structure for being less than perfect it makes the current 4.5% rate into a 6% rate taking away any benefit. We have discussed all of this ad nauseum over the past couple of years.

Their solution is to quickly identify all of the borrowers who are making payments on time and send them a one page refi form, which instantly takes their rate to current market. There would be a few other borrower hurdles but not many. The savings to the home owning consumer would be about $45bb per year, more than the cost of the recent extension to unemployment benefits.

This rumor has a lot of credibility behind it -- all of a sudden copycat reports come out from two credible mortgage shops and GSE premium coupons (5.5% to 6.5%) took a beating this morning -- down 4 POINTS on average. This is because these would get crushed if an auto-refi program was announced."

Summer of recovery!


Pump on good brothers!
I think they were trying to work the numbers and be able to take a full class, 25-28. The way attrition is going that should not be a problem between now and Feb '11.

-Add two medium cans of tomato paste


At this stage I let the tomato paste brown/caramelize some to add more color and flavor then add your caned/fresh diced tomatoes.

Never skip the wine!

And I always add some sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. I like a sweeter sauce so I usually add a little more than others do.
In December the taxpayers were going to earn a profit.

Plans from Wells Fargo & Co and Citigroup to repay taxpayer funds will put the U.S. government on track to reduce its bailout investments in banks by more than 75 percent, while earning a healthy profit for the U.S., Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Monday.

And now we are going to lose $105 billion.



quote:

The controversial bailout fund is scheduled to expire at the end of this fiscal year, after which the government will only seek to exit from remaining investments, notably in AIG and General Motors. Geithner estimated that TARP would end up costing taxpayers $105 billion.

These guys really are clueless.
