I too read The Economist. As previously stated by others, it does an excellent job of giving you a world-view macro synopsis of what is going on. Excellent reporting, haven't found it to be biased, all very objective. It does, however, count among the business magazines I look at for a...

Let's not gloss over two main categories and the roles they played in all of this: 1) the speculators that bought on the greater fool theory 2) the educated, middle to upper income crowd that wanted to own McMansions at any cost to keep up with the Joneses, and trade up every 12-18 months...

Anyone here trading at night? I'm looking for a market whose RTH occur during 6 PM - 2AM EST. Recommendations anyone?

Because those mortgages and their resetting ARM nature are factored into the entire chain of events. These loans were put into pools, and the pools were sliced and diced into securities. Those securities were created based on the resetting nature of the underlying assets. If you go and f#%#...
