Talk:Mortgage-backed security

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think this is the "correct" spelling. See google search mortgage+backed+security and asset+backed+security.--Jerryseinfeld 22:38, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)


COMMENT BY A DIFFERENT USER

"Duration" has a specific technical meaning in this context. The word should link to the article about duration.

The MBS is not underwritten by "the origianl real estate." Anyone: what did the author mean?


Comment by a dfferent user:

The author is saying that IF the MBS wasn't backed by the original real estate, there would be no incentive for the improving crdit rating borrowers to stick with it etc. Fortunatly, they are.

MRBs and types of MBSs

I wanted to write about MRBs (mortgage revenue bonds) and couldn't find a proper place to put it. It seems that MBS classification is not very details at this moment.
