Before 2008 a real, real estate market did not exist. Americans are not dumb, but due to misleading information about the real estate market they made predictably bad mortgage decisions.

Banks and only banks control/led leverage in two ways. The first took place during loan origination, requiring a down payment or no down payment; 20% down and zero down loans allowed, 5x to 100x leverage on the equity of a home, respectively. The second element of leverage occurred (per the FDIC hidden, concealed) upon certain banks’ balance sheets. Certain banks could and did use their own computer models to value their mortgage investments. I estimated 2,000 times leverage or more (upon the ultimate collateral, i.e. equity cushion in home prices) was common at certain banks before the financial crisis. Certain banks hid their mortgage bets through or in SIVs (Structured Investment Vehicles), from 2003 to 2008 over $12T of MBS were issued. Who held and invested in them and who and how were they valued?
