"Ray--the interesting point is that, because 30-year 3s are so low in coupon, that the historical process won't repeat itself (in my view). As I mentioned, banks can't/won't buy them, and there's not enough juice to create interesting structures ("juice" meaning coupon). Re historical data--You can look over time and see how issuance ramps up--as I mentioned, it's increased fairly rapidly in 3.5s. A separate issue is what metric to look at to judge "liquidity"..."

"Well, I'm glad I stirred things up a bit. A few comments: *Mr. Kurpinsky--I have Inside Job in my briefcase, and I've heard it's good. I read Chain of Blame and The Big Short--both were very good. *Don--it seems that there's a difference between the percentage of loans that were fraudulent and the percentage of mortgage brokers involved in fraud. Mr. Ceizyk: I don't disagree with everything you say. My point is that the consumers who took the loans should not be absolved of responsibility..."

"You raise a relevant point. However, I don't view it as large entities claiming they don't have to follow the laws.

"A few thoughts on this: 1) Keep in mind that a set of accounting changes are coming that will force the GSEs to consolidate boatloads of assets onto their balance sheets. (Figure that one boatload ~$1trillion, and according to reports they have more than 2 1/2 boatloads to consolidate.) It's unclear what the earnings ramifications are, but the impact will be huge. 2) If the GSEs have to take a big accounting loss in Q1, the amount that the Treasury committed ($200 billion each for FN and FR)..."

"My suspicion is that the pop in housing starts represents an aberration (or the proverbial dead-cat bounce). Since the reported numbers are annualized, a few additional properties could skew the numbers a lot higher, particularly off the rock-bottom absolute level of starts. I have a question for the members of this site: why are the MBA's refi indices continuing to show strength in apps for gov't products? Given the extra costs associated with FHA loans, this is perplexing...any thoughts..."
