Subprime meltdown means jump in foreclosures
subprime mortgage market after the bankruptcy of at least 20 lenders in the last two months, triggering a mass liquidation of securities on Wall Street and an avalanche of foreclosure activity on Main Street. Growing trouble in the subprime mortgage industry could not come at a worse time for the battered housing sector, which has been in a yearlong tailspin of stagnant sales, rising inventories, plunging prices and growing defaults. Panic is spreading in the U.S. As more lenders go bankrupt and more Americans default on home loans, a jump in foreclosures is expected.

From $2B Bailout to $4B Buyout at Countrywide
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. It didn’t take long from a historical perspective.

Not Enough Rope in Administration's Lifeline' Program
The Administration has encouraged six of the nation’s largest lenders — Bank of America, Citigroup, Countrywide Financial Corp., On the plus side, the Lifeline program is not being applied to only subprime adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs).
