BIG SHORT 2.0 – Investors holding top-rated debt backed by commercial real estate suffer LOSSES for the first time since 2008 financial crisis

2 months ago - 2008, when bad mortgages, mostly residential, nearly brought down the financial system."

The latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes indicate much the same in describing a "deterioration in conditions in domestic CRE markets or a sharp tightening in financial conditions." Is it really going to just blow over like Bloomberg seems to be suggesting?

September 06, 2022 - 2008, huge numbers of evictions and foreclosures are on the horizon, and the middle class is going to be absolutely eviscerated by this crisis.

UN takes down 2008 article that highlights “benefits” of world hunger

August 03, 2022 - 2008 and went largely unnoticed for more than a decade.

June 15, 2022 - 2008.
