    I guess the net impact of the insurers going belly up is a worsening of the credit crunch. The MBS market will not likely come back as anytime soon, premium to insure these thing will probably go up big time.

    The only game in town for a long time may be conforming loans bought up by GSEs Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac.

    Not sure % of homes financed with conforming loans in SoCal, it must be low. Net result, more downward pressure on home prices. Anybody hazard a guess at any other possible scenario?

    Large downpayments with perfect credit become even more important. I wonder who will be in position to finance jumbos or any type of exotic loan? The GSEs may be the only ones standing with financial ability

    Well, so much for the decoupling theory. The world seems to believe that they follow the US into recession.

    Global markets are getting routed tonight again in Asia. EU and Asia markets took a beating on Monday.

    Dow futures as of few minutes ago are pointing to a big drop tommorrow.

    Dow is off by approx 16% since Oct.

    I believe that the problems with bond insurers are driving a good part of the sentiment overseas that credit crunch will intensify.

    Should be an interesting week ahead.

    Cramer has been advocating a government bailout since last summer when the DOW dropped 5% from its all-time high. Don’t listen to that clown. Cramer would cut rates to zero at the first sign of any market trouble. The guy is a joke.

    60% of non retirement funds in cash or CDs. That is going up by the hour, haha.
    Besides 401K, which is already being dollar cost average, I plan to use some of my that 60% when the drop goes into pure panic.
    As far as my 401K, which is taking a beating, I hope the market stays in a bear market for the next 2 to 3 years or more. I like the idea of investing long-term needed funds every month in a brutal bear market in the short term.
    Buy low, sell high!
