Mortgage Crisis Solution: Motivate Homeowners Like Sales Reps
Posted By, Allyn Paul
I’ve been convinced that with the current state of the economy, the government needs to act as a charity and give out $700 billion. I just don’t think investment bankers should be the recipients. The charity should go to homeowners, and they should have [...]... more

Foreclosures: Did God Want You to Get That Mortgage?

Therein is the tragedy. Each man is locked into a system that compels him to increase his herd without limit in a world that is limited. Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of t... more
Mark Thoma submits: There has been much debate about whether the financial crisis is driven by lack of liquidity or from fears about lack of adequate capital and solvency, but I’m starting to think a third component is important as well, the complete breakdown of traditional information flows, and a loss of confidence in the models used to evaluate that information. Markets need information to work properly, and the information financial markets need is not available. For example, ... more
The Fall of Harper From: feedproxy.google.com Post Date: 2008-11-30 00:06:02
It may be premature to call it but it looks as if Steven’s goose is cooked. By blatantly politicizing the Global Economic Crisis the Harperites have shown their empty hand, exposing the uselessness of an organization that knows only how to bully and manipulate. Political tactics and maneuvering may look impressive but actually running the [...]

Asks Mark Longo .
But did that same Mark Longo ask the hard questions to HedgeStreet’s Russell Andersson , when he interviewed him in the Summer of 2007, two months before the HedgeSteet immolation ? Of course, not.
Building an exchange is challenging. Be patient. It is complex. It will take time. The retail derivatives market has a huge future.
…pleaded Russell Andersson to a gullible Mark Longo. … And two months later HedgeStreet did belly up . … What a ... more

The premium varies from $0 to $10,000, depending on the likelihood of the event.
