ParticipantPretty soon they’ll pass a law that you cannot sell equities. Only buy them. That way the market will always go up. Problem solved.

ParticipantIf the govt ends up owning all these mortgages that have unsustainable service levels, seems like one of three things have to happen to avoid defaults.
1) Lower the loan amount.
2) Lower the interest rates.
3) Combination of 1 and 2.If you think through these scenarios, you can see that this will not stop homes from coming down in price.

ParticipantThey dont need to default, they can just drive the value of the US dollar into the ground. Nothing like paying off a debt that was worth something 10 years ago with dollars that are worthless today. This has been going on a very long time,but rather slowly.

ParticipantFletch, when has the govt ever really done anyting in the markets that helped the average guy? This bail out helps the banks from collapse and will hopefully prevent full scale panic. (Jury still out on that one.)
We are seeing huge swings in the markets. This is called “unstable”. Not a place to be with a hightly illiquid asset that has been decreasing in value for some time now.
If the govt is successful with this attempt, it would be the first time in history that a govt was able to halt a bursting credit bubble.No one can predict the future, but history and statistics are on your side.
