They might even go so far as to say it is worse than it has ever been. </p><p><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/steve-curnutte/mortgage-cocktail-and-crisis-credit/clash-classes">read more</a></p> appraisal bailout Bond Case Schiller CDO credit currency economy Fannie FDIC Fed FHA foreclosure Freddie jumbo mortgage Rate stock market Treasury wall street Innovation Technology Leadership Management Careers Design Ethonomics Thu, 09 Apr 2009 10:38:23 -0400 Steve Curnutte 1262429 at http://www.fastcompany.com http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/steve-curnutte/mortgage-cocktail-and-crisis-credit/death-cruel-arrogance <p>Arrogance will never die of course, but hopefully the last few months have set it back a pinch.</p> <p><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/steve-curnutte/mortgage-cocktail-and-crisis-credit/death-cruel-arrogance">read more</a></p> Bond CDO mortgage appraisal credit Fed stock market FHA wall street economy foreclosure Treasury FDIC Rate bailout currency Fannie Case Schiller Freddie jumbo Innovation Technology Leadership Management Careers Design Ethonomics Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:20:33 -0500 Steve Curnutte 1127589 at http://www.fastcompany.com http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/steve-curnutte/mortgage-cocktail-and-crisis-credit/case-puzzled-baboons <p>A<a href="http://finworthmortgageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/baboon.jpg"></a>merica has collectively awakened to a crisis. Fear and a bunker mentality have choked consumer spending. It seems bad news makes people act even more conservatively, which makes things worse, which makes for more bad news.
