      Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round, 2/6/08: Chimera is for Real
      Interesting, tell you a fact - here on wall street most of the MBS.. mortgage pass-through certificates, collateralized mortgage obligations, agency callable debentures, CDOs, Mezz, hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities today have impairments ranging from 15% to 60% (Market Value). Structured or packaged MBS have been dumped by the top 8 investment banks as fast as possible to AnnalyNLY, Carlyle and Chimera alike during past 10 weeks.
