]]> Comment on From Research to Credit Ratings – The Case for Independence by Cate Long http://reinventingthemarket.com/2010/08/20/from-research-to-credit-ratings-the-case-for-independence/#comment-25 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 03:24:28 +0000 http://reinventingthemarket.com/?p=129#comment-25 This is the solution I’ve been pushing to eliminate “ratings shopping” for debt issuers:

The SEC has adopted it for structured finance and I’m pushing for them to require it for all asset classes.

The markets are deeply invested with the 3 major raters… it will require many years for other, smaller raters to catch up… but a few new entrants could make a difference…

]]> Comment on Do You See the Gorilla? by Nick Marsillo http://reinventingthemarket.com/2010/06/24/do-you-see-the-gorilla/#comment-5 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 21:59:59 +0000 http://reinventingthemarket.com/?p=68#comment-5 The problems that led to the housing bubble and ensuing crisis are eerily similar to the current problems with student loans, namely the runaway cost of tuition and lower standards of living with which new graduates must cope. Like mortgages owned by Fannie and Freddie, student loans owned or originated by Sallie Mae (another GSE) are another form of debt that is guaranteed by the government; issuing these loans entails no risk because the government will stand behind them and student loan debt is typically impossible to discharge in bankruptcy. While the intention of creating Sallie Mae was to make college more accessible to students from lower-income families and promote higher education in general, the increase in liquidity has had the perverse effect of rapidly increasing the demand for, and in turn, the cost of college education, thereby making it more difficult for lower and middle class students to afford college. In the end, Sallie Mae and all government sponsored student loan programs redistribute wealth from the taxpayers, including those blue collar workers who never went to college, to universities and white collar workers.

Your points are valid and on target. The lesson here is “Know your Audience” develop a message that is clear, concise and to the point, in as few words as possible.

Great observation and analysis.
