Outsider Views - by Mike Pouraryan

 
We are living in an ever-changing world which continues to be as fascinating as ever. This is the forum for me to report, to comment and to reflect. Thank you for visiting my forum and your support of this lifelong project.

The Failure of Indymac

Throughout the last few days, there has been quite a bit of talk about the failure of IndyMac. The bank was a local California bank that specialized in non-conventional mortgages. The house of cards came falling down on Friday. Now, there is talk of at least 159 other U.S. Banks failing. There was reporting on it in the International Herald Tribune, which the Huffington Post also picked up on. This talk is quite distrubing and frankly bothersome. Such talk does NOTHING but perpertuate the fear and anxiety already out there. The regulators have to do their jobs and do understand how tough things are. As for us outsiders, we just have to pray that somehow the psunami that we're faced with will not impact us too much and that we will survive it.

So, we are supposed to just sit by and trust that the regulators who have put us in this mess will do the job they have yet to do? The failure of these banks has little do do with panic and much to do with a century of bad practices by everyone involved- including the fed who intends to somehow fix it now. Unless we speak up and get things changed, nothing is going to get better- it just puts off the inevitable.
