The Big Picture blog is reporting on a story in the Wall St. Journal stating: “A boatload of 2/28 APR mortgages are about to reset next year, and its not going to pretty.”  This has been pretty widely known, I believe.  The question is whether or not the market has priced any of this in already?  It seems like the markets have hammered the banking stocks some to this fear, but I fear that further downside is to come if the Fed does not cut rates.  The market is predicting an 80% chance that the Fed will cut, so if that does not happen before the turn of the years, credit markets could further be strained.

This blog discusses subprime mortgage problems. Subprime problems began when lenders offered loans to potential home owners with bad credit or credit / income that did not meet the standards of traditional lending. Subprime mortgages for people with bad credit or no credit face an uncertain future. Once the hope of many to enter into home ownership has now been corrupted both by overreaching consumers and predatory lenders. I hope to follow the aftermath of this crisis.
