Another home mortgage company crashes

This time, it’s American Home Mortgage Investment Corp., which says it’s out of cash and could have to liquidate. The news sent yesterday’s Dow down almost 150 points. And, here’s why its problems are so newsworthy:
Because American Home does not specialise in sub-prime, its knock-on involvement set off alarm bells. Sam Rahman, at Baring Asset Management, said: “That’s the big news that's hitting the markets today. It is raising concerns about the whole mortgage market.”

It certainly raises alarm bells with me, for the same reason. Until this week, American Home wasn’t even on the radar screen of home mortgage problems.

    I am sorry that you can look through the complicated eyeball that sends picture images to your complicated brain that sends pictures to your mind and not belive in an almighty God that created it all.

    I had no idea that mortgage problems had anything to do with my religious beliefs or lack thereof.

    Or, are you, in some Calvinistic nod to predestination (or Muslim wave at kismet) saying that God caused all these bad mortgages?
