Misinformation Adds to a Tenuous Market -- Please New York Times - We Deserve Better
August 31, 2007
Inside the Countrywide Lending Spree | www.nytimes.com
With the residential lending capital markets virtually shut down, there is little good information that is known. But there is a lot of sentiment, including fear. I look to a firm such as the New York Times to allay fear and communicate good information during these times. Rather, it seems that someone at Countrywide has upset someone at the NYT, or else the NYT is picking low hanging fruit, knowledgable that there is an audience of people with a problem (employees of mortgage banks gone bust and borrowers who can't make their payments) who are looking for a scapegoat or villain.

WAMU buys Commercial Capital, AGAIN
May 14, 2006
Washington Mutual to buy Commercial Capital | today.reuters.com
Washington Mutual's acquisition of Commercial Capital makes a great deal of sense. However, Washington Mutual arguably controlled much of the intellectual capital of Commercial Capital in the late 1990's when it purchase Home Savings of America, but they squandered the opportunity.
