There is no question that alt-a are now in dire straights. Property valuation slumps move the goalposts of equity and essentially rewrite the terms of a loan.
There is going to a tsunami of defaults during 08/09, affecting even prime borrowers in the US, UK, Australia and parts of the Eurozone. During that time, the 'party' will move East (and in some places already has - see prior posts) to decimate 'value' here and in the region...
