We are happy to announce that we are adding another educated and experienced
perspective to our content line up....
In the process of publishing and moderating Mortgage News
Daily we get the pleasure of observing some of the most informed and
intellectual mortgage minds interacting within our community. Sometimes
contributions made by our industry's experts go unnoticed because they are
either tucked away in comments on blog posts/forums or simply because the
author prefers to write under a pseudonym. One expert has been doing this right
under your nose for some time now!
Bill Berliner is a mortgage and capital-markets consultant
based in Southern California. His career began in 1985 in Bear Stearns'

and researcher. His last corporate position was as the Head of Trade Strategies
for Countrywide Capital Markets' highly-regarded research department. He is the
co-author, with Frank Fabozzi and Anand Bhattacharya, of "Mortgage-Backed

named one of the top ten finance books of 2007 by RiskBooks. Read Bill's MND

Bill will be contributing his perspectives and
interpretations to our content line up on a weekly basis. We hope that you are
as excited as we are about the educational benefits his mortgage market
experience will add to our growing knowledge base. We expect that you will
treat him the same way you treat
us.....and don't be shy to comment on his commentaries, whether good or bad!
Without further ado...here is Bill's Inaugural Contribution.
