Re: 90% of mortgages still paying      4-Nov-09 05:14 pm    
These aren't the numbers, but this is the math. $1M in loans @ 5% interest = $50,000 profit. 10% default = -$100K ... out of your operating earnings. Losses taken on more value than what a portfolio earns. it's not symmetric. Not saying to short, but 10% is a problem (it's not BB&T's rate btw).
