Holy smokes. Thanks LasloChi for sharing this information. Looks like we've only seen the tip of the iceberg or as you say trainwreck. I knew it would be bad but no idea that the numbers coming online were so high.
Much appreciated.
That's just one of thousands of pools.. So, you can't read into the two pools I've posted here with too much panic. But, you now see the daunting task that these firms now face when it comes to trying to come up with an accurate price for this stuff. There's thousands of deals out there, and the #'s are changing.
I wouldn't worry TOO much about the CSFB deal that I posted. It will probably cause a dent of a few mil's to be added to whatever writedown if things hit the fan in that class for CSFB.
But, that was late in the issuance. This pool is almost paid off (thank goodness)
