Sorry Folks, The Put-Back Apocalypse Ain't Gonna Happen

From the Article:

But Bank of America's recent decline—down almost 10% this week—is driven by fears that the bank could be hit with huge liabilities for faulty mortgage pools. And I’m pretty sure that is not going to happen.

Why not?

Because the politicians will not let the financial stability of the largest bank in the nation be threatened by contractual rights. Not when there’s an easy fix available that won’t cost taxpayers a dime.

Here’s what is going to happen: Congress will pass a law called something like “The Financial Modernization and Stability Act of 2010” that will retroactively grant mortgage pools the rights in the underlying mortgages that people are worried about. All the screwed up paperwork, lost notes, unassigned security interests will be forgiven by a legislative act.

There’s a big difference between the financial crisis of 2008 and the new crisis. In 2008, banks were destabilized by the growing realization that they were over-exposed to the real estate market. Huge portions of their balance sheets were committed to mortgage-linked investments that were no longer generating the expected revenues or producing losses. That was a problem of economics that could only be solved by recapitalizing banks or letting some of the biggest banks in the U.S. fail.

The put-back crisis is not driven by economics. It is driven by legal rights. And there’s simply zero probability that the politicians in Washington are going to let Bank of America or Citigroup or JP Morgan Chase fail because of a legal issue.

So here’s what I expect will happen. The lame duck session of Congress will pass a bill that essentially papers over the misdeeds of the banks that originated mortgage securities. Every member of Congress and every Senator who has been voted out of office will cast a vote for the bill. And the President will sign it.

Will the public be outraged? Probably. Financial bloggers will scream from the high heavens against another bailout of the banksters. Congress may try to create some cost for banks in exchange for the forgiveness, perhaps requiring more mortgage modifications.

But the much feared put-back apocalypse will be laid to rest.

If you’re skeptical about the possibility that this will happen, you have greater faith than I do in the ability of the political system to resist doing favors for bankers.

NYC UFO Event Moves Alien Disclosure S.H.T.F. Index

When the S.H.T.F. Index has shifted unexpectedly due to an anomalous event over the NYC skies on 10-13 - followed quite quickly with a super strange event over the nighttime skies of El Paso Texas. While the odds are long that `nowish' is the beginning of anything `new' in regards to displays of anomalous sky events --- these events both seem strikingly new in the degree of obviousness. I have been covering this UFO over NYC on my UFO blog here - http://ufodisclosurecountdownclock.blogspot.com/2010/10/nyc-ufo-event-day-after-day-after.html

Debt Crisis Will Hit Japan Next, Then US: Historian

It's been fun gathering links that refer to the S.H.T.F. and I will be bringing them to you as this blog evolves. That said, as you can see by the S.H.T.F. index on the left sidebar - IMO the most likely scenario that could lead to a chaos situation is the economic mess the world leaders have permitted to happen. As such, most links here will be like this one as we continue to detail the words that seem to be describing the collapse of the very economic system that has been built.

These are some words from today's link:

The explosion of public debt will inevitably lead to either inflation or default, Ferguson added.

else's, in which case is probably a default.".....further quantitative easing from the U.S. Federal Reserve will not help the economy, as the extra liquidity is unlikely to stay within the country.

"All that liquidity ends up not where it is supposed to be, which is magically creating jobs for American workers in Michigan. It doesn't do that at all. It ends up pumping up commodity prices on the other side of the world, with lots of unforeseen consequences"

It's The End Of The World As We Know It?

It's been 23 years since the R.E.M. classic cut `It's The End Of The World As We Know it' (and I feel fine) - time for an entire generation to grow up with the lyrics and for a society to internalize the possibilities. And, while `Endtimers' have been around seemingly forever - now, in 2010 - and, more than ever, more and more humans have the feeling that `the good old days' are gone forever or soon will be. Or that big changes are coming.

As you see in the sidebar to the left - I have set up a S.H.T.F. `Index' to reflect this websites viewpoint on the various threats to our way of modern life (in America and the world). That index, and my viewpoint, is that the concerns of real Economic Collapse leads the range of possibilities that could end our society's normalcy. And, many of the links that will appear on this website will address what appears to be the mounting concerns with the very financial system that has been built by our so-called `political leaders'.

That said, all of the other items in the index will also receive coverage too; because, who knows what shit will hit the fan first.  It should make for some interesting reading and I hope that you will bookmark this site and return frequently.
