Countrywide says it's not in trouble

 

Countrywide Financial Corp. moved to reassure investors Tuesday that it wasn't borrowing too much and wouldn't be constrained in its ability to provide home loans.

 

"We said it back in August, we said it in September, we said it last week, we'll say it until we turn blue in the face, but we have ample liquidity to fund our growth and operational needs," David Bigelow, Countrywide's managing director of investor relations, said at an FBR Capital Markets conference in New York.

 

Countrywide shares rose 33 cents, or 3.8%, to $8.97, marking only the second gain in two weeks for the stock. The shares are down 79% this year.

 

Bigelow rejected criticism that Calabasas-based Countrywide had threatened the soundness of the Federal Home Loan Bank system by borrowing excessively. He also said Countrywide didn't expect issues affecting Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to materially hurt its ability to make home loans.

LATimes

 

Personally, I think blue might be an improvement on orange.

"He also said Countrywide didn't expect issues affecting Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to materially hurt its ability to make home loans."

 

How could it hurt its ability to make home loans? It already doesn't HAVE any ability to make loans.

What's xom's monthly nut now with oil so high, 35-40 B per I think. Rolling in it. Think I'll go on down the Veteran Soup Kitchen today for lunch. I know XOM needs my money more than me, but some days it's hard. :( :lol: :lol:

What I find amazing is how the 3-month dollar LIBOR rate continued higher even today, which is now at its highest spread vs. Fed Funds since they first cut rates back in Sep.

 

What that means is that all the Fed "injections", "rate cuts" and "jawboning" are simply not working.
