• The Reckoning - Agency's '04 Rule Let Banks Pile Up New Debt - Series - NYTimes.com: Many events in Washington, on Wall Street and elsewhere around the country have led to what has been called the most serious financial crisis since the 1930s. But decisions made at a brief meeting on April 28, 2004, explain why the problems could spin out of control. The agency?s failure to follow through on those decisions also explains why Washington regulators did not see what was coming.

• Economic View - Pursuit of an Edge, in Steroids or Stocks - NYTimes.com: Easy credit terms almost always produce an asset bubble because an investment fund?s success depends less on its absolute rate of return than on how that rate compares with those of rivals. If one fund posts higher earnings than others, money immediately flows into it. And because managers? pay depends primarily on how much money a fund oversees, managers want to post relatively high returns at every moment. One way to bolster a fund?s return is to invest in slightly riskier assets. (Such investments generally pay higher returns because risk-averse investors would otherwise be unwilling to hold them.) Once some fund managers offered higher-paying mortgage-backe d securities, others felt pressure to follow suit, lest their customers desert them. In financial markets, asset bubbles cause real trouble when investors can borrow freely to expand their holdings. To prevent such bubbles, we must limit the amounts that people can invest with borrowed money.
