| Many have said that the real estate bubble problem or “subprime mortgage problem” as the media calls would not effect the larger lenders. Clearly as we have seen today, they are wrong, every company with an invested interest in over-priced real estate will be effected.
Still, at some point this will come to an end and companies will take their losses. Currently Countrywide is selling near it’s 2003 price level. Buying houses at 2003 levels in the future isn’t such a bad deal just like Countrywide is looking at it’s current price levels. |
