If theproblemwas limited tocompanies thatunwiselypro-videdmortgagestopeoplewhocouldn’taffordthem,thenthosecompanieswouldsimplyeitherhavetochangetheirwaysorgooutofbusiness.Butinpractice,theirloansaresoldtoinvestors.Andinthelastfewyears,someinvestmentfirmshavepackagedthese riskymortgage loans intoextremelycomplex investmentvehiclesthatoffermodestlyhigherinterestrates,butconcealtherealriskinvolved.
Someinvestors,luredbythehigherratesofreturn,andlulledinto complacency by assurances that “cutting edge” financialengineeringhadminimizedtherisksinvolved,allowedatouchofavaricetocloudtheirjudgment.Someofthoseinvestorswerebanks,andsomewereinsurancecompanies.
