Bad News Keeps Getting Worse

Here's the first article that really paints an accurate picture of things to come in the Mortgage Lending industry. Here's a hightlight: "Hold on to your assets. The deepest housing decline in 16 years is about to get worse. As many as 1.5 million more Americans may lose their homes, another 100,000 people in housing-related industries could be fired, and an estimated 100 additional subprime mortgage companies that lend money to people with bad or limited credit may go under, according to realtors, economists, analysts and a Federal Reserve governor. Financial stocks also could extend their declines over mortgage default worries."

WOW! That's gonna be a lot of pain...and the affects will spill over into all areas of our economy. Have we set ourselves up for this pending disaster?
