and I was just posting what I had heard in the hopes of getting confirmation WRT RE
talked to a friend of a friend who works on bonds and confirmed that SPEs were used just like creation and annihilation operators (in math/physics) to tweak those kinds of financial vehicles on a banks balance sheet
don’t know what else to say, other than still seeking answers to lots of interesting questions[/quote]
SPE’s exist. They are not proof, in fact, they’re not even evidence of any shadow inventory. They don’t get assets (or liabilities) of any banks’ balance sheet. Shadow inventory was a myth 8 years ago. It was a myth 6 years ago. It was a myth 4 years ago. It is still a myth.
