You cannot understand that everything you are advocating is to try to address the last bubble and will do nothing to stop the next bubble. That is what I am trying to convey to you.

Then we can have an honest discussion and I would be more than happy to explain CMO's to you.

b******t straw! i know exactly what i am talking about. don't play this little game because you aren't followng along. i think you are both underestimating my knowledge of financial and economic issues and overestimating your knowledge of the same. stick to compliance.

I would tell you to stick to what you do, but since you don't actually do anything, what should you stick to?

So you want to create another bubble but just not in the housing market?

of course not. but unless you think that lenders and their risk-taking financial engineers won't go back to their old tricks after the pendulum swings the other way, i dont think its a bad idea to insulate the market from it happening again.

Does anyone wonder why the government is always fighting the last war? (I mean, anyone other than Ron, who admits he hasn't - so what?)

yes those evil risk taking lenders will go back to their old tricks and the only thing stopping them is you and your Robin Hood-esque band exposing them.

Does that make you feel better?

"i think you are both underestimating my knowledge of financial and economic issues and overestimating your knowledge of the same. stick to compliance."

i think the answer would be, after doing my due dilligence on the underlying economic conditions of what i am buying, i (hopefully) would've seen that valuations weren't supportable in the long term. i would tell the fund to find a less "hot" market to try to make alpha in.

j, the battle that i would be fighting here is the battle of market psychology. a favorbale side-effect is that the likelihood of this type of bubble rocking the economy to this degree would be virtually non-existent.

Yes you think "the answer would be" because you have never done it.

Stick to whatever it is you do.

ergo, the reason that i am in business school. perhaps the way that i am playing monday morning quarterback here (ie continually focusing on the bubble) would suggest that i have an idea what to look for. i said "hopefully" because i can't say with full confidence that i would not get caught up into thinking that the bubble had a lot more room to grow.
