All Ords managed to drag itself off the intraday lows but the result was still a dismal -1.7%. Sector positions barely changed from the morning post. Materials remained down the most, -3.1% and Energy and IT both came in at -2.4%. Consumer Discretionary had the least loss, -0.8%.

 

Miners not a pretty sight: BHP -3.1%, RIO -3% and in the golds, Newcrest -3.9%, Newmont -3.2% and Lihir -3.4%. Most the juniors lost ground.

 

Oils sank a little more: Woodside -1.4%, Santos -2.2% and Caltex -2.7%.

 

Some Asian markets recovered although Honkers -2.8% at this stage, Sth Korea -1% and Nikkers -0.4%.

 

 

Solid losses in UK/Europe last session, especially on the Footsie. Let's see what they come up with today:

Class warfare is going on full scale at US financial media centers as Wall Street attempts to shift the blame on sub prime mess on low income borrowers.

 

"The losses at banks and securities firms are fueling concern that rising delinquencies on home loans to people with poor credit will drag down the economy. The slump in global credit markets may force banks, brokerages and hedge funds to cut lending by $2 trillion, Goldman Sachs economists said last week," cites news source at Bloomberg.

 

The problem with sub prime is not related to FICO scores of sub prime borrower's, but, to overpriced real estate that they knowingly sold to those that could not afford it in order to continue the shell game.

 

The Bloomberg article also states that poor people are dragging the economy down( in addition to being blamed for sub prime.) :lol:

 

The naivety of this transcendences common sense, never mind that it is being reported in other media that rich folks who were supposed to save this economy by trickle down handouts are curtailing their spending.

U.K. October BSA Mortgage Approvals Fall Annual 14%

 

Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- British customer-owned lenders approved fewer loans for house purchases in October as tighter borrowing markets sapped demand, a report by the Building Societies Association showed.

 

Mortgage approvals last month fell 14 percent from a year earlier, to 4 billion pounds ($8.2 billion), the London-based BSA, which represents 59 building societies in the U.K., said today in a statement.

 

The Council for Mortgage Lenders, which represents the country's home-loan providers, also predicted today that mortgage lending will slow. Its own data showed a 6 percent increase in gross mortgage lending on the month and from a year earlier, which didn't yet reflect the squeeze that banks now face in getting funding for loans, the group said.

 

Shares of Paragon Group Cos., a U.K. mortgage lender that depends on bond sales to fund loans to landlords, had their biggest-ever decline today in London after the company said full-year profit fell more than anal cysts' estimates and that it planned a rights offer.
