What I want to know about the whole subprime mortgage issue is....if you take out a mortgage with less than 20% down, you have to pay for private mortgage insurance (PMI) to protect the lender in case you default on the loan.
So how the hell are banks and bondholders losing money if these things are insured? Shouldn't it be the insurance companies going under and not the banks/brokerages?
