Ambac Clients May Receive 25 Cents on Dollar in Cash

Editor’s Note: The significance of this announcement is that the bondholders, who were insured directly by AMBAC (as opposed to the investment bankers who bought “bets” like credit default swaps) are receiving 25 cents on every dollar they funded as creditors for the funding of loan to homeowners (debtors/ borrowers). This supports and corroborates two [...]

Principal Reduction: A Step Forward by BofA, Wells Fargo

Editor’s Note: Better late than never. It is a step in the right direction, but 30% reduction is not likely to do the job, and waiting for mortgages to become delinquent is simply kicking the can down the road. The political argument of a “gift” to these homeowners is bogus. They are legally entitled to [...]

“uncertain line between hope and despair”

The entities foreclosing don’t have ANYTHING at stake. They have no stake and yet they are still getting homes for nothing Editor’s Note: The federal plan is good as to its intent but unnecessary if the law was applied.
