What's Causing the Credit Crunch?
Wall Street analysts, main street investors, corporate executives and government bureaucrats all disagree on which mortgage company will be the next to trip and fall into bankruptcy.

Just late last year Bank of America infused $2 billion into the coffers of Countrywide Financial to support the floundering lender’s attempt to survive the subprime mortgage mess — which reportedly almost forced the firm into filing for bankruptcy protection earlier this week. Now with Countrywide’s stock weak and its value depressed, it is being widely reported that Bank of America is paying $4 billion in stock to buy out the company — in which it already had a 16 percent stake in convertible preferred stock after the bailout.
