Unfortunately, they haven't figured out how dependent we were as a nation on real estate that only goes up.

Thank you for the doc. Much more informative than expected. Page 7 is especially interesting.

Most of that info is trailing. One part however that is somewhat indicative of things to come is page 19:

"2/28 ARMs Dominated Subprime Home-Purchase Loan Originations in 2006"

That means the majority of those have not even reset yet, as haven't many of the Alt-A and Prime loans. Things have a long way to go before they can even start turning around.

It is an article written by economists for Indymac. Not the "doom and gloomers". It's almost as if someone around there is reading Piggington.......
