    There was a good program on last night explaing why it was happening. Quite interesting. If you find a good article on Sub Prime Market then read that.

                It's a mix of Cockney Rhyming Slang and Polari. Parley the Polari? ye Jinks? (Although Polari is a kind of homosexual underworld lingo, so I don't speak too much of it!) Polari Link[^] It is quite interesting if you like languages, which I do.

                      Greed. American lenders handing out a bucket full of money to people who had no chance of ever repaying it in order to get their bonuses. The whole world crashes because of the greedy US banking system.(Aided and abetted by every other banking system, I am not Savlon on this). It won't last long, about a year to 18 months at most.

                      Actually, that isn't quite it. American (and British banks) made large pools of money avaialble for mortgages and came up with ever more bizarre vehicles into which to place this bucket of mortgages so as to spread the money as far as possible betting that the number of defaulters would be low. What they didn't bank on was unscrupulous mortgage agents who lied their way to fat commissions and got approvals for peopel who patently were never going to be able to keep up even if the rate went up fractionally or who didn't care that today's low rate mortgage would require vastl;y inflated payments when it came time to move to another mortgage or where the rates went up at the end of an introductory period. The whole system was doomed. However, the next big thing will probably be Credit Default Swaps.

                            My uncle used to work on cruise ships and told me about a language that the Gay guys on the boats used to speak, I'd completely forgotten about it till today. So now i know 2 people who speak this language and you both claim to be straight! Russ

                                I've kept myself out of this mess for a good while, saving money and waiting for the end of this ridiculous bubble where people who couldn't afford to buy a house were pushing up the prices with ever more extended credit. I've got a good bit of cash saved up but of course now that the government has used my money to prop up the whole pyramid scheme the crash won't happen to the extent that it ought to. Never mind, for the first time in 5 years i'm adding money to the pot and it's becoming a greater percentage of the house price rather than continually diminishing. Russell

                                  Touché! Strangely, when I asked gay friends about it none of them had a clue about it. I wonder if a secret language is no longer so important now that it's not illegal, and in most circles not even an issue, to be gay.

                                        I know exactly what is causing the financial crisis. I can't say because the truth hurts people too bad and millions would argue. I can say, however, it isn't greed. It is something worse.

                                          Ah, go on, spill. To me, being no expert, it seems obvious that people who actually produce nothing tangible (i.e. most of the finance industry) cannot continue to extract huge amounts of money from a closed system (albeit global) and expect that nothing bad will happen. It's easy to think of these as small amounts but when you hear of one guy being paid $980,000,000 and multiply this by the number of leeches, over many years, then the total would be scary. Perhaps someone could explain the theory of mortguage defaulters to me - don't the banks simply re-possess the property to be re-sold? Where do they lose out? :confused: Rich
