Everything has changed in the mortgage market. Everything. But it is not true that so-called sub-prime mortgages are no longer available in any form.

Understanding What Happened With Subprime MortgagesBy: Donald PlunkettAfter the steep rise in subprime lending in the 2001-2006 period, followed by the credit crunch of 2007, some might ask, If their borrowers cant pay, why did the lenders make these loans in the first place?

He added that “lenders and investors who were dumb enough to deal in subprime mortgages should not receive any special help,” but if homeowners were deceived about the terms of an adjustable mortgage, they should be helped.
I completely agree, but I'm still curious what happened with his plan to start a financial guarantor company. Originally when AMBAC and MBIA were taking heat for their subprime exposure and writedowns there was talk of Buffett bailing one out or starting his own under the Berkshire Hathaway name. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Some view the moves by the Bush Administration to increase the limits of guarantees by the Federal Housing Administration as not enough. Sheila Blair from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) suggests that:

-estate/article/subprime-market-melts-shareholders-heated_574414_17.html Angry institutional investors of firms such as Morgan Stanley and Washington Mutual have become involved in changing the face of the board of directors. Shareholder activists such as Change to Win have campaigned against directors they believe would should no longer be in control. This type of active investing has been correlated with increased returns for shareholders. Research on programs such as CALPERs have determined that large institutional investors can see increased returns by spending only a small proportion of their fund's money in order to actively protect their investments.
Navigant Consulting released today that in the first quarter of 2008 there were 170 cases filed. Of the 170 cases filed, borrower class actions and securities cases dominated the subprime filings with 79 and 44 cases respectively. Based on the explosion of federal subprime filings, Navigant expects that the total case filing "will soon surpass the 559 savings-and-loan cases of the early 1990s."
