Jumbo Loss

This is from Bubble News Network:

Thornburg Mortgage’s Jumbo Decline



Larry Goldstone, president of Thornburg Mortgage attempts to persuade viewers that the 46% drop Thornburg’s stock today was an overreaction. You do have to give the guy credit for facing the music, although, what else does he have to lose. Either way Goldstone offers very little substance to reassure investors.

Originally aired on: 8/14/2007 on CNBC



Thornburg Mortgage lends jumbo loans. Their stock has taken quite a hit. It seems like 6,700+ SFR and condo sellers will have allot of trouble finding a buyer.

What will happen? Will asking prices actually go down? Think about that number: 6,700! Now granted on Realtor.com you cannot pick a specific price, but you get the idea. Not everyone will sell their house at that price. When will Chicago wake up?

Whatever happened to the traditional 30 year fixed model?? Oh yeah, that's right....people got greedy!!!

Sorry, but those of us who are not CEO's, professional athletes, rock stars, actors, or trust fund babies cannot afford million dollar homes!! It's about time the market reflected that.
