		<description>It seems like only yesterday that financial executives and pundits were assuring us that these subprime mortgage problems were limited in scope and their impact should not be exaggerated. When New Century went down, Mozilo was saying how strong Countrywide would be in the wake of the collapse of its more reckless competitors. Then it turned out that Countrywide had been pretty reckless too. Now we see the big brokerage houses and Citi hemorrhaging money. And BofA and WaMu and Fannie, and Freddie...no wonder investors are scared. What would you recommend to a working stiff with about $300,000 in retirement savings, most of which is in mutual funds? Should I sell &#039;em and buy gold? Guns and ammo?</description>

		<description>Perhaps there will be intangible PR value in being able to spin yourself as a &quot;rescuer&quot; after the crisis goes from bad to worse in 2008, in an election year when regulators, Congresscritters and class-action litigators might be sniffing around for an Arthur Andersen scapegoat.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Anyways, it doesn&#039;t matter what the current stock price is a few short months later.  Of course they knew that a falling knife often has further to fall.  The success of the investment is really a binary issue: does Countrywide survive or not?  Five years from now, housing will have recovered, and competitors that have gone out of business will be faced with staffing up from scratch.  For example, the relatively few companies that survived the dot-com crash often did very well in the long term.</description>

		<description>Plus, BOFA has the lost opportunity cost.  How much could they have made by lending the money to someone else or gaining interest on it?</description>
