Surprised to See This Happen? - 01/11/08 05:13 PM
Bank of America’s agreement to buy mortgage giant Countrywide Financial in a $4 billion all-stock deal put investors at ease yesterday, boosting shares of Countrywide by 51%, after the mortgage crisis took the stock briefly below the $5 level.
The deal gives Countrywide 0.1822 share of Bank of America for each share they own, valuing Countrywide at $7.16 each, a 7.6% discount. The companies are holding a conference call to discuss the merger, scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. ET, and MarketBeat is there to listen so you don’t have to bother.

Do You Have Any Clients Like This? - 01/10/08 01:03 PM
Are you dealing with borrowers with this scenario? They live in a $700,000 house bought with no money down. They can buy an identical house across the street for $500,000. Their FICO’s are >800, flawless. But as soon as they buy the house across the street, they will stop making mortgage payments on their present place. Since their mortgage is non-recourse, and since they don't need to pay taxes on forgiven debt, the cost of default is basically zero, while the benefit of default is $200,000 ($700-500) in lower total indebtedness. Who loses? The mortgage company, which lent $700,000 to borrowers … (6 comments)

What Happens If Countrywide BKs? - 01/08/08 12:37 PM
Many of us have noticed that Countrywide's stock price is down 20% this morning, into the $6 range. The price is down based on rumors of a credit downgrade and possible bankruptcy filing. An business partner of mine, who works for a large investment bank, wrote to me and said, “Investors are literally buying thousands upon thousands of puts to bet on its demise - keep in mind every thousand puts is equivalent to 100K shares of stock - I have seen about 100K puts change hands myself - that's 10 million shares.”
As I have said in the past, … (15 comments)

Who do You Know that is Being Forclosed On? - 01/07/08 08:00 PM
The pace of defaults on privately insured mortgages soared almost 35%, reaching the highest level since the data was first collected in 2001, according to data from MCIC, PMI, AIG, Old Republic, and Triad.

Californian's Stop Complaining!! - 01/04/08 06:12 PM
A fierce winter storm pounded California on Friday, soaking mudslide-prone canyons already charred by wildfires and threatening to paralyze the mountains with deep snow. Read the Rest Here Yeah the storm is stronger than one we've seen for a long time but geeze I wish people would quit whining. Almost everyone I spoke with today thought the sky was falling.

No matter what happens there will always be pockets of people complaining. You … (2 comments)

Can Our Government Really Help Fix the Foreclosure Crisis?? - 01/03/08 10:15 PM
