I don't know about the rest of you, but I find those numbers to be staggering...at least compared to what the media and some of the "experts" on this forum have been saying. What was all that talk about just a "small percentage" of borrowers being into subprime loans?

what parameters for subprime were used?

I wondered myself. Seems high at 22%...I figured no more than 10%. Many banks don't even offer subprime. perhaps that is the percentage of secondary market loans only.
