Don't Dump Investors
These efforts are to help American families who both want to and can, through a loan modification or re-financing, stay in their homes.” Introducing the Hope Now program in 2007, President Bush said “weve got a role, the government has got a role to play — but it is limited.

home mortgages. If Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac collapse the result would be the wholesale destruction of the national mortgage system; a virtual halt to home sales because few local mortgages would be available; soaring interest rates because few loans would be available and a level of losses throughout the economy unseen since the Great Depression.

Fed Plays a Delicate Balancing Game With Rate Cut
The rationale given for the move was the intensification of what the Fed continues to refer to as the nation’s housing “correction” which, by the way, has been ongoing for the better part of 2007. The problem is, many industry analysts are starting to come around to the idea that this “correction” may not bottom out until either year’s end 2008 or sometime in 2009.
