Explanation on Countrywide Analysis
by Erin Swanson, CFA | 10-24-07 | 12:51PM
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="5"> </td></tr></tbody></table><table><tbody><tr valign="top"><td class="Abody">We want to provide clarification on why we put Countrywide Financial CFC under review on Tuesday. Yesterday, we came across information on Countrywide's Web site showing that the firm owned around 200,000 homes (the firm owns homes after a borrower goes into foreclosure). These numbers were materially worse than the approximately 13,500 homes that Countrywide indicated were in foreclosure just the previous week. Within a few hours, Countrywide's Web site was back to showing about 13,500 homes owned rather than 200,000. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to independently verify which number might be closer to reality and why this number changed so suddenly. More importantly, we were hoping to learn whether the foreclosed loans were previously securitized or were in Countrywide's held-for-investment portfolio, or a combination of both. This information is important as Countrywide's expected losses from selling homes under foreclosure would be significantly higher if those loans were on Countrywide's books rather than if they had been securitized. As we have yet to gain any clarity surrounding these issues, we intend to leave the firm unrated until Countrywide reports third-quarter earnings on Friday. </td></tr></tbody></table>

Tomorrow's the day.

Thanks for that article cuss.

It tickles me knowing these fucks have the potential to be tits up soon.

People that overspeculated with real estate the past few years soon will be eating cat food.

People need to stop believing this real estate bubble bursting isnt going to be a major problem and take entire economy into gutter for many years.

Tiznow, VT, jdog, Im going to hire a crew of contractors as I have a feeling some of my family and friends are going to fill all the bunker space I currently have...you guys planning similar expansions?

good time to buy real estate soon

these foreclosures will continue

especially the cookie cutter new developments,

they were full of first time buyers probably on ARMs and sub primes

Problem is those houses suck lol

Im not happy knowing regular families are going to be collateral damage and thrown out of their homes as a result of the overspeculation in real estate.

I wish the system would instead only punish the condo flippers and other idiots buying million dollar junk they had no intention living at.

Also to blame is Alan Greenspan who urged people to use adjustables when he knew interest rates were artificially low and were soon to rise and bankrupt the marginal buyers.

Thats capitalism I guess...ups and downs...winners and losers.

Caveat emptor.

The cat stays, but order a few dozen masks like that one you have.

Thinking about doubling the height of the fence and adding some razor wire.

Installed the .50 cal stands in the attic windows last night.

EEK, BRING IT ON!

AIG just announced they are taking a large writedown.

Thats the type of company that if it unwinds, could start a real panic.

Oil just short of $90 again.

some rumors were swirling about AIG and than they said everything is good they were false and came in with a short squeeze. They are even creating them now. Only buyers left in this market.

:nohead:

25 bp cut coming next wednesday who knows maybe more :party:

American International Group Inc (NYSE:AIG - News) was the top drag on the Dow after market rumors the insurer may be facing a large write-down. But AIG's stock retraced most of its losses, after CNBC reported, citing sources, that the rumors were "simply not true."

:lol:

Tiz....I respect your views, but I am not gonna stand in front of a runaway ticker...If the fed cuts rates again as expected look out as we will see dow, s/p...all indeexs jump up sharply...I for one would love to see Ben bite the bullet and NOT lower rates...but he won't and one day we will pay, BUT for right now...make some money and then get out...when I wish I knew??

Woof what's your opinion if rates get lowered .25bp,,,,,,hell maybe .50bp and the inmates run wild....it appears to me that everyone is just waiting to drive this market up...its like everyone is just ignoring the writing on the walls and looking through there rose colored glasses...but like I said don't stand in front of the rising ticker

The Ron Paul gold bugs have gotta remember that gold will only STORE wealth, like land and property, it won't make wealth unless theres a temporary speculative bubble like in the 1980s.

So gold may go up to $5000 an ounce, but so will the price of a good suit, a burger meal will become $150 etc etc.

Then the new Amero will be issued by the US government and gold will be priced at $50 ameros and the average working stiffs weekly wage will be $80 Ameros kinda thing.

Property has made wealth because its been on a long term speculative bubble.

Even over here in the UK things will now flatten out because its become a lot cheaper to rent.

Renting 'now cheaper than buying'

Something else worth bearing in mind, the dollar may be getting trashed because the powers that be have decided to issue a new currency in the future called the Amero, (like the euro) which will be the currency of the North American trading bloc.

So this period gives them a chance to fuck the dollar and reduce the national debt for the handover.
