Treasury Auctions Done. Bonds Cautiously Resilient as Stocks Repeat History - 11 hours ago
Posted To: MBS CommentaryTreasury just sold $29 billion 7s to a group of uninterested buyers... Auction demand as measured by the bid to cover ratio was below average. 2.78 bids were submitted for every 1 accepted by Treasury. Compare that to the ten auction average of 2.81 and the five auction average of 2.86. 25.6% of the issue was awarded at the high yield of 2.394%. This was 2.1bps above the 1pm "when issued" bid, a sign that buyers were looking to pay a little less than they did.

The Obama administration, he said, has made it clear from the beginning that the current structure of the government's role in the housing finance market is unsustainable and unacceptable, but winding down Freddie and Fannie abruptly would destabilize an already fragile housing industry and put the loans already on the books of these institutions at even...(read more)Forward this article via email:  Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
Are HECM Regulators Acting Unethically Toward the Reverse Mortgage Program? - 12 hours ago
Posted To: Community CommentaryI recently spoke on two interesting panels at the American Conference Institute’s two day symposium on Reverse Mortgages. The conference was held at the famed Helmsley Park Lane Hotel in the heart of Manhattan. The conference attracted a virtual who’s who in the mortgage and reverse mortgage industry. The speakers and the attendees formed an eclectic group which ranged from major law firms, title companies, quality control experts, compliance examiners, HECM counseling experts and state and federal regulators and various enforcement agencies. There was a genuine desire to understand the program so that enacted policy could be effective. On the first day of speaking, I was joined by Dave Adkins, OTS, Matthew Yoon, Esq. and Arthur Axelson, Esq. I pointed out that HERA could prevent...(read more)Forward this article via email:  Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
