Be wary of synthetic markets
Analysis of: Leveraged Loan Risk Rises on Lehman Auction, LevX Index Shows | www.bloomberg.com
Author: John Jukoski, Former First VP & Director of Collateral Analysis, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
The analysis in this article is generally on point, but keep in mind this is a synthetic market.

Southern California Mortgage Lending Rates Drop
Analysis of: Mortgage market improves with new market-leading deals | www.timesonline.co.uk
Author: Mark Mariotti, CEO, Future Management Holdings Inc
Effective immediately after the Fannie/Freddie take over, the DITECH origination service of Cerberus' GMAC Financial Services launched a television campaign to offer 5.5% interest rate mortgage loans.

The Bear Sterns Equity Strip Model
Analysis of: Lehman Brothers faces Korean takeover bid | www.timesonline.co.uk
Author: Mark Mariotti, CEO, Future Management Holdings Inc
Unlikely that a suitor firm will take over Lehman directly by itself without assistance, perks or partners. As you may recall Bear Stearns in a similar situation, and remember that the Feds had to lend and assist JP Morgan with the acquisition.
September 12, 2008
What to expect from the bailout.
Analysis of: U.S. bails out Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, ousts CEOs | www.bizjournals.com
Author: Joseph Smith, President & CEO, Default Mitigation Management
1. Shows how truly bad the mortgage industry has gotten and how scared the feds are of where we are going. 2. If the major source of liquidity can not survive, who will? 3. What should be the outcome.

GSE Takeover Will Not Materially Reduce Mortgage Interest Rates
Analysis of: Government GSE Takeover Could Reduce Cost of Mortgages | www.bigbuilderonline.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor
The GSE takeover will not significantly reduce mortgage interest rates.  The GSEs will now be focused on propping up the U.S. economy--not on prudent lending and risk-based pricing.

Good Idea, Wrong Justification
Analysis of: Lehman Brothers faces Korean takeover bid | www.timesonline.co.uk
Author: John Jukoski, Former First VP & Director of Collateral Analysis, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
KDB in this case is playing the role of the blind squirrel who finds a nut.  It is wise to invest opportunistically, in ventures that are cheap, WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE NOT KNOWLEDGEBLE IN HOW TO RUN THESE BUSINESSES.

Credit vs. Collateral
Analysis of: ECB `Overpricing' of Asset-Backed Debt May Shut Out Investors | www.bloomberg.com
Author: John Jukoski, Former First VP & Director of Collateral Analysis, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
The question to answer here is whether or not the ECB is a collateral-based lender.
John JukoskiSeptember 11, 2008
Markets can function regardless of the ECB's actions
Analysis of: ECB to Change Auction Rules to Stop Banks `Gaming the System,' Mersch Says | www.bloomberg.com
Author: John Jukoski, Former First VP & Director of Collateral Analysis, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
The fact the ECB might accept securities other central banks (or private lenders) might not is not preventing the market for these securities to correct.  Pledging securities to a collateralized lender will not affect the ability to sell these securities when the opportunity presents itself.

This is a synthetic market.
Analysis of: Bank Debt Risk Rises as Writedowns, Losses Exceed $500 Billion | www.bloomberg.com
Author: John Jukoski, Former First VP & Director of Collateral Analysis, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
Let me be brief.  This is a synthetic market that allows participants to express their sentiments (wager) without participating in the cash market.  Beware reading too much into the levels at which items trade in any synthetic market.

Quality, not Quantity
Analysis of: Lenders reject multiple credit applications | www.guardian.co.uk
Author: John Jukoski, Former First VP & Director of Collateral Analysis, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
Borrowers are finding it more difficult to obtain credit because lenders have a renewed awareness of the basics of extending credit, not because borrowers are requesting credit more often.
