  • Another Leg Down for Financials Is Coming [View article]
    Author forgets some crucial facts...


    BoFA/CFC Option Arms Prime Loan exposure

    $25B total Option ARM prime loans
    $17B covered by supplemental mortgage insurance

    Borrowers credit scores still good -> Prime Loans
    ----------------------...
    Average original FICO score 715
    Average refreshed FICO score 680

    88% current in payments and in good standing.

    Reset schedule:
    2009 $0.2B
    2010 $3.8B
    2011 $6.9B
    Thereafter $2.4B
    Loans assumed to repay before recast $9.6B

    Current refreshed LTV with provisioning = 70

    30% down (positive equity)

    Housing bill to aid $300 billion in mortgages...
    ----------------------...
    Loss severity will be minimal to BofA related to Option Arm's exposure given the current provisioning.


    "CLTV computed off remaining balances. If computed from values after purchase accounting adjustments the average CLTV percentage for the portfolio would be in the low 70's."
