Oil Speculation and Mortgage backed assets. I wonder sometimes if this Fed swap of mortgage backed assets (which are worthless), is contributing to the “speculation” by investment firms in the oil market. Scary thought what would happen if that was occuring and the oil bubble pops and all those portfolios go to crap (Depressing,oop, I mean DEPRESSION). We would be really broke in less than 2 months if the Fed were to continue it’s free lunch program.
My guess is that moving to the “foreclosure” step reduces what the speculators can speculate with… (if of course this is what is happening). I’m pretty much clueless on this, but the way things are going on WallStreet and the lack of ethics and high values (which we desparetly need to reverse), I would believe just about anything is possible (even a crash of the US Dollar).
