Study Forecasts Rising Subprime Foreclosures
The study, which cites RealtyTrac numbers as one of its sources, looked at subprime foreclosure rates from 1998 through 2006 and closely ties those rates to house price appreciation. The projection of an accelerating subprime foreclosure rate is based on the expectation that house price appreciation will continue to slow. It warns cities in California, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Michigan, as well A new study released yesterday by the Center for Responsible Lending projects that one out of five subprime mortgages originated in the past two years will end in foreclosure, costing homeowners as much as $164 billion. “This rate is nearly double the projected rate of subprime loans made in 2002, and it exceeds the worst foreclosure experience in the modern mortgage market, which occurred during the “Oil Patch” disaster of the 1980s.

Rate Cut, Real GDP Are Some Positive News
One day after President Bush pointed the finger at Congress and told the American public to blame lawmakers for all of their recent financial woes, an inkling of actual positive news came out of Washington Wednesday with two announcements from government agencies.

In the first, and the more closely watched of the two, the Federal Reserve took a much anticipated move to lessen the pressure on the nation’s economy by lowering the federal funds rate another 25 basis points to 2 percent (that’s a long way down from the 5.25

Another Approach to $700 Billion Bailout
Below are excerpts from an article he wrote about these alternatives. "One alternative is to simply offer low-interest loans to borrowers who currently have toxic mortgages.
