By helping out these 2 institutions all they are doing is delaying the inevitable. The U.S. economy is crumbling and all the government can do is apply bandaids. I hate to be all gloom and doom folks but hold on tight in the coming weeks and months. It's going to be one bumpy ride.

Obviously, if they don't, you can forget buying a home unless you have Rockwood money. If they go under without any government help, you might consider withdrawing all your money from the bank and stuffing it under the mattress because banking as you know it will be done. The impact on owners AND renters would be enormous. I don't think most people realize what would happen if they collapse.

I agree 100% with Coop.
Reform is certainly necessary soon but allowing them to collapse would be catastrophic.
We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

My mortgage company was siezed by the FDIC yesterday: IndyMac Bank (IMB)! [:p]
The Treasury Department and Federal Reserve are going to prop up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as they are part of the government...
It's time for MikeP to call his long lost relative, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and call in those chips he's been holding... [;)]

Sorry to hear that man. They were recruiting the heck out of me for about the last 60 days. Thankfully I said no, since having gone through that in August (First Magnus shut down- largest lender in Arizona) I don't think i could do it again.

I remember you telling me about Magnus... the only good thing would be you'd have been working in Pasadena (IndyMac HQs) and nearer to where I live. [:)] Drinks and concerts galore!!! [:p]
On a more serious note, now that BoA bought Countrywide (#1 lender), I'd have to look, but IIRC IMB was number 2 or 3?
Such is the fall-out of "stated income," "100% financing, no money down" loans, and the current devaluation of real estate.

Fannie and Freddie run into the ground, other banking institutions failed partly because the SEC looked the other way when it came to accountability, the Fed clueless...
