Money for nothing

It was December 2007 and Andrews, now 52, ​​was covering the biggest financial disaster the Great Depression (Andrews, 2009). Meanwhile, the housing market collapse and Wall Street was finally realized that millions of people who bought houses with “liar loans”, he lied to get loans. In addition, delinquency rates and foreclosures shot several times financial experts have predicted (Andrews, 2009). The real estate market is falling apart and Americans began to panic. Andrews, a well-educated business journalist for The New York Times wanted to run the risk of starting a new life with his girlfriend Patty. Andrews did not have money to work with him because he was paying 000 in alimony and child support to his first wife Julia (Andrews, 2009). He was in love and knew that his girlfriend, Patty, who was an old friend, moved to Los Angeles to Washington to be with him and need space for their family mixed

. Like many Americans, Andrews signed a risk mortgage Mortgage Corporation American Home. Because your credit score was nearly perfect, Andrews was pre-approved for 0000, which he agreed. Bob was an officer of American Home Mortgage Corporation mortgages, known to specialize in “emergency” (Andrews, 2009). He has worked with Andrews and tricks performed to help a “no-ratio” mortgage, which meant that only check their property and their debt to income ratio (Andrews, 2009). American Home Mortgage Corporation mortgage companies were willing to look at recent financial problems of borrowers, gives a higher interest rate. Andrews took into account everything he knew in his gut and could not make the payments. But Bob, officer provided him with these words: “.. Do not worry, the highest value of your home will be in five years you will be able to refinance” (Andrews, 2009)

Caution is for losers

While consumer spending is out of control, unemployment is rising and home prices rose very quickly that people make annually. There was an explosion of home equity loans and credit lines, if people were treating their homes as ATMs (Andrews, 2009). Many economists are warning about the housing bubble that was caused by market prices, consumer income and the balance between assets and liabilities approximate, but many ignore the signs. Andrews was aware that the housing market was unstable, but wanted to fulfill his dream in his heart, knowing they could afford. Meanwhile, American households were too expensive and the housing market was inflated more. Demand for houses were growing faster than could be provided. Andrews ended up paying over 37% of their homes because the pressure was intense to buy a house instead of renting an apartment. Since many Americans were buying homes with expensive and exotic mortgages in November go-go, which pushed deeper into debt, which excluded many households. Andrews was not so lucky, being as polite as he became a statistic. As Dean Baker, said in 2003 “, owned home, far from being the American dream could be rapid poverty” (Andrews, 2009)

. my drink Kool-aid lender

Andrews was considered a great player and can acquire half a million dollars in just 4 hours. He describes the feeling of buying your house as “vaguely interesting, bold, a little gangsta” (Andrews, 2009). Andrews could not understand that, in their minds would entitle million Americans over three times their annual salary, including him. The man behind the scenes was Michael J. Strauss. He was founder and CEO of American Mortgage (Andrews, 2009). Strauss started his business from his apartment in Manhattan in 1988, which soon became the fastest growing company in two in the United States (Andrews, 2009). Andrew Strauss describes as a risk taker, full of greed and deceit, which contribute to the housing bubble to attract people dream homes that could not afford. Basically aimed at consumers with poor credit, low income, and had never had a house were mostly Americans of African, Latin and other minorities (Andrews, 2009).

Strauss uses techniques such as capture expressions and low interest rates was making close. Andrews also said Strauss built his clientele by switching to more risky loans such as mortgage loans and Alt-A “Choice” in 2005, Andrews was the victim (Andrews, 2009). Strauss knew exactly what he was doing and knew that people were looking at houses as an investment rather than a place to live, so he was there to help in a way ironic. With many borrowers to seek significant profits from flipping houses, not paying attention to all the dangerous risks involved, Strauss became happier and richer. He said in 2005 that the declaration of “high performance” means bring higher profits risky borrowers and “additional insurance” meant that we could put the risk of others (Andrews, 2009). Which showed how much he cares, he was making money. But you can not blame all the world to be greedy. He was just doing his job helping people buy homes while U.S. debt growth

. magical thinking, debts Real

Reality Andrews in January 2005 after receiving it showed that the ATM was broken. It was four months after the new house purchased with “no relationship” loan. They had 000 to help start-up costs, from Andrews to sell their company shares (Andrews, 2009). Money does not last long, being that Christmas was near. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Patty did not earn enough money to meet. Andrews Magic Fantasy “,” was his hope that his girlfriend has become a good, ambitious go-getter current job market (Andrews, 2009). But that did not work too well from his last job was in 1980. I do not know that there were 000 credit cards (Andrews, 2009). Tension grew between Andrews and Patty to the point where Patty was afraid to be around him sometimes. To make matters worse, Andrews came up with a higher risk, plan to borrow money from your 401 (k). He says, “Why not?” (Andrews, 2009).

Alan Greenspan

It was October 2008, the economy was the worst of banks and firms on Wall Street and the Bush Treasury Department getting saved every time you start the around. Re Andrews, Alan Greenspan, and his personal opinions on what contributed to the destruction of the economy and housing bubble. Alan Greenspan was chairman of the Federal Reserve (Andrews, 2009). Greenspan admits he was surprised at how Wall Street promoted subprime loans and how banks made it easy and do not care which, in turn, destroyed the financial system. But ironically, Greenspan was largely responsible for the financial crisis

. According to Andrews, Greenspan seemed to be due. Even coincided with Joseph Schumpeter’s view of capitalism as “creative destruction” (Andrews, 2009). He believed that a dynamic economy like ours would not be possible if people are free to take risks and make mistakes. Greenspan predicted that the economy must self-destruct or bubbles and later, when cleaning to avoid the damage more. But mostly, there was a Fed governor, who was appointed by President Clinton, who actually tried to look for consumer welfare. Edward M. Gramlich’s name was (Andrews, 2009). For years he was warning that the wave of subprime lending was bad for the economy. Gramlich was a man who spent most of his career trying to find ways of preventing poverty and protecting low-income borrowers to lenders greedy

. Unit scammers

Two years have passed since Patty Andrews bought their home and finances remain low. Andrews, I felt like a “High Roller” more, in fact, claims that he and Patty have been tested to their limits when they got married and destroyed his car. Liar and exotic mortgage loans continued to grow to the point that it seems the end. Andrews explains how the competition for new borrowers to find lenders more control. Lenders were so desperate that they were practically giving away money. It offers low-doc loans to people who just came out of bankruptcy, no down payment offers persons who do not document their income, and mortgages for buyers of condominiums series using capital from a property down payment for another (Andrews, 2009). He says how easy it was for people to borrow more money from home without money, credit card debt high and low credit score.

Do not drown in debt 000 Patty got destroyed his car six hours before the wedding. This led to more stress for the couple. Bob Andrews said his mortgage broker, your financial problems. Bob was a free spirit kind of person who does not judge people. He believed that financial problems in a natural way of life. Andrews was looking for some type of financial assistance to Bob, even if they no longer worked for the U.S. mortgage. Bob Andrews says her idea to borrow money from your 401 (k) was a bad idea. Bob came up with a plan to borrow against home equity to pay Andrews their credit cards to increase your credit score. Then after, you can refinance your house with a cheaper loan. But although it seemed that his concerns were more with this new idea, your problems of money and consumption patterns continue to cause tension between them

. Looking Smart Money

The housing bubble at its peak, the competition for new loans has grown more fierce than ever. Lenders are lowering their level to make even easier to get new loans. Andrews knew Fremont Investment and Loan will not lose money if the new loan of nearly half a million dollars was unable to pay. Explains how lenders and other companies sell their subprime mortgage firms on Wall Street almost immediately sealed business borrowers. Thus, lenders offer responsible investors who buy them. Wall Street is subprime, such as that Andrews, in securities with the same AAA rating as U.S. Treasury bonds (Andrews, 2009). Ironically, the transformation of mortgage securities with high-risk triple-A ratings were so popular that investors have had billion dollars of these loans (Andrews, 2009)

A. He said that lending was troubled borrowers a “risk layering”, which must be controlled or stopped. Foreclosure rates are rising, and followed by rates in force. Meanwhile, credit default swaps, has become as popular as subprime mortgage borrowers were getting. A credit-default swap contract was a form of insurance that if a loan defaults investors will receive the total amount is due (Andrews, 2009). On the other hand, delinquency and default rates have increased more than expected amount of subprime mortgages that have been floating around. Everyone from Wall Street investors thought they were safe from risk, but soon realized they were not.

cliff

In mid-2006, crime rates and excluding subprime lenders increased above normal forces to start pulling back. Fremont Investment & Loan, the lender Andrews made an announcement stating that it would stop lending to people with credit scores below 600. Patty Andrews and refinanced his house so that three weeks before the announcement, they buy a “breathing space” (Andrews, 2009). The tension between them began to disappear and began to feel comfortable around again. But that ended only when Patty was fired in October 2006

. They had to get a new plan to survive its financial dilemma, but Andrews had to humble to ask his mother for money. Patty did not like the idea of ​​borrowing money, but something must be done and quickly. Andrews provided, 000 of their own, 000 inheritance, the mother’s control. Although 000 EUR was a huge plus in your pocket, the tension continued to grow between them. Andrews grew angry at the lack of unity Patty in your job search. Patty Andrews looked as if he was a “monster” and felt it was better one. But this was only the beginning of their marriage is going down.

Disaster

Facilitators

subprime mortgages began to destroy the financial system on July 10, 2007 (Andrews, 2009). Two agents of the strongest credit rating service Moody’s and Standard & Poor investor is committed and admitted he screwed up a note a large number of subprime loans. Both have reduced hundreds of titles were held by subprime junk included. Subprime and Alt-A mortgages soon ended when money ran out. The financial system was the worst case there was no money to lend to borrowers

When these two great companies started subprime breakdown, there was a wave affect .. Many lenders have started to lose money from bad loans and some have even declared bankruptcy. These rating agencies have contributed so much to the financial collapse, the risk assessment approach that has achieved great benefits of the boom in subprime. His form regardless toppled Wall Street and much of the economy

Toro store. High risk

This chapter presents Bill Andrews Dallas, one of the Go-Go creditors in Southern California. Dallas became the victim of reckless lending, even though he was one who was warning people of imprudent lending. He followed all the rules, unlike their competitors, always insisting that borrowers pay remnants, bank statements and tax returns. It was better to be safe than sorry. Dallas But I soon jumped on the bandwagon with the rest of credit risk, but not because I wanted all the pressure to win new debtors.

Andrews tells us that investors were more interested in the higher pay mortgage interest rates rather than credit quality. No matter if debtors do not have excellent credit assessments and to document income and assets. Market was to benefit, preferring “security Sleaze” (Andrews, 2009). This market has changed in the worst way ever.

waving Public Private not

It was August 2007 and mortgage crisis on Wall Street was the most important political agenda in Washington. With the worst economy, plummeting housing market and the growing exclusion of control, officials at the White House and Federal Reserve could not escape it. They must arrive at a plan to remedy the situation before it was even worse. It would be a slow recovery, with all the events that took place before the bubble

. Congress and the Bush administration began to fight on how to help homeowners facing foreclosure problems. They had to pull the economy to recover from this financial crisis. Washington did not realize how much time and money it would take to get back to America the way it used to be. They were really prepared for the crisis they faced.

Reverse correction

In this chapter, Andrews reveals a large number of minority families were tricked and trapped in the subprime risk. Many were attracted by affordable prices for household consumers were advised by their brokers could afford. Minorities are the main objectives of the subprime loans because they do not own a house or earn enough money to live and wanted “American dream” of owning a home. They contributed to the increase in subprime and Alt-A mortgages

. God help us

Four years have passed since you bought your house, and now Christmas was just days away. They have been broken in each other’s throats over money. Thirty days has fallen behind on mortgage Chase, and now want to exclude your home. At this time the economy was still below Wall Street collapsed. Apparently, and Patty Andrews were not the only family facing foreclosure, about 4 million homeowners will lose their homes in 2009. On top of that 2.6 million jobs were lost and more or less said it would take more than 0 billion to help rescue the financial system (Andrews, 2009)

. Andrews felt a relief, but not too much, when Obama announced his program of one billion people face block (Andrews, 2009). He claims that his misfortune was certainly more extreme than other Americans, but it was not unusual. He says he was lucky to still have his pension plan, unlike many others. This led him to believe he had something to fall back. And despite the tension brought a lot of tension between the couple happy together, love is lost between the two.

personal opinions

For what I think:.

conditions of business today, what the author wrote it – or not – because:

while Andrews was writing this book, Wall Street and lenders made large profits and rules are extended to limit. Lenders in the financial sector have acted in an unethical manner, which caused the financial industry to suffer as he did. Now, the rules and regulations are more stringent lending practices have become better, as far as they are to help people, not hurt them long term

Next. All of the following bullets are needed to writes:

If I were the author of the book would have these three things differently:

1. I included a bit more about some of the persons mentioned in the book and how they overcome their financial crisis

. 2. How his wife would have included Patty sets its financial problems and how the two children in college, could afford to go to school is that both parents are broke and in debt

. 3. If I were the author, I left the audience hanging on and trying to figure out what happened and if your financial problem was ever fixed.

Reading this book made me think differently about the problem the following ways:

1. It was not really blame the borrowers, but most lenders with their lending practices and the scandal is

2 .. I understand how Wall Street and most investors now believe that how they have contributed to the housing bubble and collapse of our economy

. 3. Now I know that every time I try to buy a house should be very cautious if so would not be a victim millions of other Americans.

I will apply what I learned in this book in my career:

1. Do not jump into a situation for some time before assessment

2 .. Be very careful, because you can not trust everyone and everything is not as good as it seems

. 3. Think positive about risk situations, keeping stress levels

Here is a sampling of what others have said about the book and its author:.

“What others have said about the book and its author”

? Some comments on Amazon.com believes that Andrews did a great job providing important information about the mortgage crisis and contributing to the bubble. Some critics have written that Busted is a book that all members of Congress and the people facing foreclosure should read. Tom Vanderbilt New York Times Book Review said Andrews autopsy mortgage crisis is “scathingly funny”.

A lot of people were not so well in their reviews. Compleat book reader said was stupid and superficial. Basically, saying that all parties involved were idiots and they know what they were getting into. Also, a review of D. Jankowski said book was a “waste of money.” Jankowski reported that in the book, Andrews had a “not my fault” attitude of everything

Money for nothing

It was December 2007 and the housing market was in a serious recession, doom and dark speculation was already a reality. Ease of no interest, zero down payment “exotic mortgages”, laid the foundations for a massive devaluation of their home, “rates of delinquency and foreclosure rates were rising” (Andrews, 2009). Ironically, a reporter Edmund Andrews of The New York Times that the economy was attracted millions of people in financial ruin to pursue the American dream. Each has its own logic to sink in a housing market characterized by rapid money and shadow mortgages. Andrews was the justification of “love” was 2004 and their divorce was finalized and ready to begin a new chapter in his life. Andrews wanted to get married and buy a house, equipped with a pre-approval letter for 0000 of U.S. mortgage was poor and in love. This was also the story of Andrews revealed that former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan as an explanation why he did what he did. Andrews made a bet that millions of Americans’ expensive real goods “with a” reckless mortgage “(Andrews, 2009). “Mortgage reckless” Andrews has been called “no connection” of mortgages, and was the verification of assets, without acknowledgment of debt income (Andrews, 2009). As illogical as it seems, American Home Mortgage and many other mortgage companies were willing to overlook the financial situation of their debtors in exchange for a higher interest rate. It was this appetite for images and Andrews, with whispers of “Bob” (Andrews mortgage broker) “I am here to dream” (Andrews, 2009)

. Prudence is for losers

money was available and love in the air, which was the reason that caused Andrews to step into the real estate market is unstable and inflated. While many economists have warned of a looming housing bubble, many ignoring the signs. House prices have increased interest rates caused by low market growth each and availability of hedge funds have contributed to the swelling of the housing bubble. Logic dictates that many Americans were buying homes are expensive, but the market reality of the situation dictates. A situation in which risk was irrelevant and the market turns into a symphony of musical chairs. It was 2004 and Andrews, like many Americans entered the real estate market from the top high risk, was tempted by the “” quick and easy “low-doc mortgages” (Andrews, 2009). He was the founder of Ditech, Paul explains that he Reddit best,

“mortgage industry is based on three feet first is a person’s ability to pay .. The second is the willingness of people to pay. And the third is the security of a person is willing to pay people began to realize that I could beat one of these legs, charge a higher interest rate and still have a very good .. happened is that they started to call three feet at the same time “(Andrews, 2009)

My Drink Kool-Aid Provider.

“I was vaguely interesting, bold and a little gangsta,” were terms used to describe emotion Andrews time (Andrews, 2009). Andrews was amazing simplicity and ease, for which he was able to acquire half a million dollars. It was the ease and simplicity of the instant riches that could devastate the financial stability of many Americans, including Andrews. However, Andrews also wonder who might be hesitant behind this reckless behavior, he was ready to play a boundlesson risk borrower. This man was Michael J. Strauss, CEO and owner of American Home Mortgage, a mortgage company, once a conservative. It was in 2004 that Strauss has renewed strategic objectives in a responsible fiscal move for a profit oriented. Instead, Strauss not only dramatically changed its operation, but the risk is greedy. Huge gains by smaller companies, unscrupulous mortgage believes that “there is inherently too risky borrowers for a loan,” Strauss was too much to pass up (Andrews, 2009). This was the greed of everyone involved, which allowed the situation and the system provides incentives

This was in January, less than four months after he bought home when the reality of the situation became real. Andrews checked by your ATM receipt was for all intents and purposes, broken. When he bought the house that had one, 000 pads sale of its shares, and now your bank receipt to read 6. Andrews is surprised by the pace of spending and it is assumed that Patty would be successful in a job search. It was “magical” thinking by Andrews. Patty thought to enter the labor market and that they would be successful enough to survive. In this chapter, Andrews reveals the increasing tension between Andrews and radial

. Alan Greenspan

This chapter is reunited with Alan Greenspan, and carried through the process of economic thought. After all, it was Greenspan was Federal Reserve chairman at the time was responsible for “leading the nation’s monetary policy, banking supervision and regulation, financial system stability and containing systemic risk that may arise in financial markets. “(System, 2010)

Greenspan was the free market theorist, which excludes the need of regulation. Greenspan would say, “that could guide and regulate it through the power of rational self-interest” (Andrews, 2009). However, signs warning of “mortgage crisis” imminent were there and a member of the Federal Reserve warned for years (Andrews, 2009). This person was Edward M. Gramlich, Federal Reserve governor who fought for years for a more stringent regulatory measures to protect consumers and stop the impending bubble and so increasing

It was 2006 and although it may seem like Patty Andrews and survive the worst of all, their economic situation remains bleak. Their wedding was fast approaching and new job as editor Patty taking home 60,000 a year things seemed to improve, but the truth was that they were drowning in debt. He maxed out their credit cards, drain savings and credit rating deleted. Then life got worse, six hours before his wedding, Patty destroyed his vehicle collision insurance declined in advance to save some money. So now, without money or credit should reach the 2,600 needed for repairs. This setback could send Bob Andrews calling service again as a “crack addict waiting [it] offers” (Andrews, 2009)

Looking for Smart Money.

As the housing bubble has reached, investors were turning a profit on subprime loans turned into securities rated triple. As soon as the mortgage companies could finance the subprime risk borrowers and inflated rates were for sale. It was a Ponzi scheme in the database, without logic or in the past to support their qualifications or how they could take in the future. However, as shady as bonds rated triple-A subprime mortgage may seem, the ugly stepsister now introduced “collateralized debt obligations” (Andrews, 2009). CDOs are actually values ​​that were backed by subprime mortgages. It was a shift of risk and possibly to be followed by higher rates.

In this chapter, Andrews will explain how risk mortgages began to topple the financial system. It was 2007, when Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, two credit rating agencies, mortgage-backed securities decreased leading to many bankruptcies. The moment of truth came, foolish mortgages and pooling them into securities concluded.

2006 was a fundamental change in the market as investors were secured by mortgage securities. Investors are more worried about the credit quality of mortgages, but mortgages paying an interest rate in May. Andrew is described as “market certainly prefer Sleaze.” It was these fundamental changes in the cost of insurance change eventually, to encourage people to seek subprime loans with higher rates, pushing the market into a new direction

Chapter 11. Shaking, private default

It was 2007, and Wall Street has managed to capture the attention of Washington. With Wall Street in crisis and slowing economy and growing exclusion from Washington could not ignore what is happening in the mortgage industry.

However, this would lead to action at least for a while Washington seemed prepared for the financial crisis facing the country and many homeowners

Chapter 12. Reverse Redlinning

correction can be defined as “the practice of denying or increasing the cost of services, such as bank insurance access to jobs , access to health, or even [mortgages] to residents certain often racially determined, areas “(Redlinning, 2010). However, during the housing bubble just the opposite happened, was inversely redlinning. Andrew points out that minorities often denied the mortgage subprime loans now target. There was bad credit ratings that made them so beloved in the eyes of creditors. Seduced by the idea of ​​owning a home with zero down and a shaky credit rating, which put pressure on high cost mortgages. Andrews points out in his story to several examples and case studies to support the claim that minorities and low-income people were persecuted race at high risk

Chapter 13:. God help us all

Andrew ends his book in 2008 with the arrival of Christmas. This is where we expose the extreme nature of his situation. How Patty Andrews and the relationship was characterized by love and support has been deformed into one of distrust and resentment. Four years have passed since the beginning of his adventure was mad and now broken, the marriage was not and he had thirty days, to fall behind on your mortgage. Andrew will also be noted that while his case was more severe than some, it was not unusual. Finally, let us Andrews wondering what will happen

personal opinions

What I think:

In today’s business conditions, the author wrote is not true – because:

example, the book was written was when Wall Street financial sector was characterized by lax monetary policy and easy money. It was these features that allowed the housing bubble to grow to monstrous stage. Today, largely because the housing crisis that strict and more conservative lending practices

If I were the author of the book would have done three things differently:.

1. We have included examples of other owners in the same position. Other people with different types of “exotic loans”

2. It also includes all the elements of the situation, to include bankruptcy Patty. I would leave certain matters that may lead critics to reassess the reasons for my situation

. 3. Finally, if I was the author of the book would have ended with a resolution of the book. Explain my audience what he does to remedy the situation and how it was working

Reading this book made me think differently about the subject of the following ways:.

1. After reading this book to understand how many Americans were able to be attracted to risky financial decisions

2 .. I have a better understanding of the relationship between housing market and how Wall Street and mortgage bonds have helped to contribute to the housing bubble

3 .. Now see how easy it was for financial institutions to implement such a reckless lending practices that distort the terms of mortgage loans in order to turn a profit

I will apply. What I learned in this book in my career

1. Analyze problems from different aspects, could be many solutions to the same problem

2 .. To be patient and allow enough time to evaluate each situation

3 .. Remember that it is too good to be true, proceed with caution

Here is a sampling of what others have said about the book and its author:.

“What other (academic journals and critical – with the comment line – not simply check the back of the book) said about the book and its author”? (Insert: Write a summary and a summary of these different views often – this should be followed by a bibliography of sites visited and physically – not just an impression of them – in the next section)

. Some critics find many readers Andrews your financial situation Amazon.com portal adorned with half-truths and a product of his labor. New York Yvonne Andrews believes it is in fact a “Crybaby.”

Then there is David Michmerhuizen California, who believes that Andrews should have known better, and that story is just an illustration of the collusion scheme Andrews. Michmerhuizen used during writing that broke, Hattie files for bankruptcy twice, but so conveniently omitted Andrews. Michmerhuizen claims that either Andrews is an idiot or just plain reading

. However, there were some positive comments, for example, Caroline Andrews interprets the story as a love story. It is a love between Andrew and his dreams and the financial system and money. Caroline is also impressed by how Andrews is able to personify the real estate market.
