Res Capped Out
Analysis of: GMAC Struggles With Financing | www.nytimes.com
Author: John Jukoski, Former First VP & Director of Collateral Analysis, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
This is not surprising.  GM/GMAC has been dealing with diminishing liquidity going back to the creation of Residential Capital Corporation in 2006.

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.

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.

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.

Failure of Artificially Accelerating Homeownership
Analysis of: Rise in Renters Erasing Gains for Ownership | www.nytimes.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor
During the residential real estate bubble, underwriting standards were relaxed so far that unprecedented numbers of unqualified borrowers became new homeowners and many existing homeowners serially refinanced into loans that that they could not afford. Once the air began leaking from the bubble,...
