Timeline of sub-prime crisis

Hello, stranger! New here? How about subscribing to my RSS feed? Thanks for visiting!

I’m out of town for the next couple of days but I’ll have my trusty laptop with me. Before I leave, I thought I’d share an interesting article I found on the BBC website about the timeline of the sub-prime crisis.

It started back in February 2007. Almost two quarters later, the words sub-prime and ABCP became a regular part of our financial vocabulary.

Financial experts often say that we don’t know we’re in a recession until we are already in one. I wonder how long it will take the Americans to figure that out, and the recovery as well?

    I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you.

    I also believe that “sub-prime” was voted “word of 2007″…

    “The American Dialect Society favoured “subprime” over “facebook”, “water-boarding” and “Googleganger” at its annual convention Friday in Chicago.”

    Huh, interesting. I looked up the article because I had no idea what waterboarding or Googleganer was.

    Subprime wins hands down :P

    Thanks, Paul :)

    I thought ‘w00t’ as the word of 2007 was a much more uplifting choice.. :)
