Cr4ppy rates being offered ? Blame the credit crunch…….

Ray,

You hit the nail on the head with your below statement….

Regarding people over stretching themselves – this is what I believe has caused all this financial fiasco. Over the last decade people have been living on credit they can’t afford – isn’t that exactly what this "tocic loans" that has caused the Banks so much bother?

Hence, a lot of people in the industry have resorted to under-cutting "just to get a job"

Not forgetting that many people have equally, voluntarily, overstretched themselves. It’s not a legal requirement to borrow money. ‘No‘ has always been an option.

The current financial crisis is a direct result of peak oil.

It is not that the bank could not afford the loan – the problem begins when the people who were given the loans could not afford to pay them back!

U.S. monetary policy made the cost of credit negligible.

The people were also given a intricate and highly-leveraged financial product which made the financial system vulnerable.

Which let to loss of confidence by investors resulting in a crisis.

People have been asking where all the money has gone. The truth is it was never there in the first place.

Stocks and shares are only worth what people THINK they are worth.

This is the overall problem with the whole financial system.
