  • Commercial Real Estate Heads South [View article]
    Take a look at "National Real Estate Investor", Oct. 07, page 28 for something that will really shake you up. 59% of commercial loans in first half of 07 were interest only and LTV ratio exceeded 105%. There are many charts and tables that document the danger in the commercial market for CDO's. Your charts and tables above do a good job of outlinging the size of the risk and who carries most in this country. The thing that is most dangerious and not discussed in our financial press is the risk in German, English, Spanish banks that are just as bad as our worst. England Northern Rock is the tip of the iceburg.
