For Tao: The Subprime Primer
1. Mortgage brokers make bad loans to bad candidates because they get commission regardless of repayment
2. Bank sells stinky bad loans to investment bank in NY
3. Really Smart Guys in NY repackage loans in good, not-so-good, and ugly packages even though it's all a load of crap, and insure the "good" ones
4. Accounting Czar is asked for greater transparency on the part of financial companies, replies "blow me."
5. Funds that purchased the securities in anticipation of monthly payment are screwed. Everyone fucked up. Sorry.
