Consulting Management Platform | news.glgroup.com
This week we saw residential mortgage rates fall even lower for almost all loan programs. However, the question needs to be asked..Does it really matter at this point in time. If rates dropped into the 300 basis point range would there be a rush by the public to buy new or exiting housing stock?

Temasek dumps 3.8% Bank of America stake | business.timesonline.co.uk
Is the trend of institutional investors leaving BoA as well as well as other larger FI's tell a story of things to come? What is the motivation behind these moves? A lack of faith in BoA strategies ? Concerns about capitol? Are more loan losses that are still predicted to come in the 2nd through 4th quarter helping to squash a continued rally?

Much has happened in the credit markets in the past several years and many things have contributed to the current economic downturn. The road in the rear view mirror is littered with failed policies from the government and from private segments of the econimic system. One thing is certain. The start of this current economic cycle, the tip of the spear that created this crisis, is the collapse of the residential mortgage market. This situation manifested itself in changes to the marketplace spurred on by changes in the Congress and Senate during the 2006 election cycle. During this time the Democrates took control of both sides of the ails. Barney Frank was named head of the House Budget Commitee and Chris Dodd was named head of the Seante Banking and Finane Committee. Both of these men had a major effect on how the morgage market changed from years past.
