ABS means Asset-Backed Securities. The main problems of the ABS and CDO market right now is that the assets in these securities are collateralized by assets that are very poor. In other words, many values that are created to collect CDO packages of mortgages that were issued on a house purchase to. In 2005-2006, most of the mortgage, the purchaser issued by private homes, were of very poor quality, because many mortgage banks) they have (people setting up loans helped to achieve their customers loans they could not afford not. Often it is because the loan process does not require verification of borrower income, and overestimate their income in May to receive the loan. Borrowers have been due to rising real estate prices were so high that I just keep them at home for a short period before resale, and a large sum of money. The loans were "liar loans" by the misrepresentation of ability to pay the purchaser. In addition, many of these loans were so-called variable-rate loans with initial low teaser. In other WORDS, the borrower must pay the cost of total funding for the first year or two, so that he make the payment until it sells.
However, many of these borrowers are too high, their ability to pay, or the growth of house prices and now find it very difficult to cover the true economic cost of these loans. So many of these criminal borrowers or restructure their loans accordingly.
This means that these mortgage securities are included, have problems because they did not expect so many defaults on mortgages. It is interesting to know why the supposedly educated professionals on Wall Street have been so bad optimistic, but they were. Many investment banks (eg Bear Stearns), established hedge funds that invested in these CDOs, and has leveraged (for example, in turn, borrowed money from a fund 100 million U.S. dollars in a fund of $ 1 billion). The mortgages underlying begin to go wrong, if available, the borrower defaults on the CDOs, indicating that these mortgages declined. Since the values are CDOs, hedge fundsneed to sell securities to the selling price of light, whereby the value of mortgage-backed securities in general. The difficulties arising from the markets prompted investors in securities issued or to be nervous and move their investments to safer areas such as government bonds or cash. In addition, people who are about the size of the CDO market as proof that our society as a whole indebted pessimistic.
I hope that helps clarify what is the main problem. In short, said the overheated real estate market and bad debts for years. In addition, Wall Street has a very poor investment decisions in support of the hedge funds leveraged investments in securities made on the basis of these bad mortgages. Therefore, the market is up 5% this week.
I personally believe to be the problem without having to solve the broader market. I take solace in the fact that many companies are the result of stronger than that, what we have seen and reported on its balance sheet more money than at any other time, too. But ThosI think CDO problem you have to mobilize many other areas of the market and a significant effect for a long time.
