If the MBS portfolios that are out there were given accurate valuations, we'd see a lot of organizations underwater. 2. Then we'd have even more bailouts that the government would feel compelled to do. Tom Todd,

That’s a topic for another post but short and sweet, here’s my take on it:

Seems to me that if the MBS/CDO's were given a hard valuation that the Street might be more interested in these vehicles again. Granted, that won't help us get 4.5% in January, but, say, August, September 2009? What say you sir? Tom,
