Is securitization dead?

Perhaps I have a selfish interest in arguing that it is not, but you decide, once you read my write up. Of course, I will be happy to hear any comments.

The new face of securitization
Securitization in future will be back on the balance sheet

4 April 2008

See my latest article here, where I argue that the world cannot do without securitization, and what we need to do is to explore methods of balance-sheet securitization. This is what I hag argued soon after collapse of Enron; Treasury Secretary Paulson is talking about the same thing now.

The mad affair with fair values
We support the case for suspension of fair value accounting, and a fundamental relook

Sentimental Accounting: Time to question mark to market
We need to ask ourselves if MTM is procyclical and helps the market disequilibrium

4 April 2008; updated Oct 2008

See my latest article here, where I produce arguments against MTM accounting - primarily on two grounds. One, it leads to volatile accounting and almost every accounting estimate is liable to question. Two, and more seiously in the current crisis, MTM accounting is procyclical.

Tim Reason's posting on CFO.com:

"It would be no surprise to my colleagues, who roll their eyes whenever I mention securitization, that one of my favorite websites is Vinod Kothari's Securitization Website. What it lacks in sophisticated design, it more than makes up for in sheer volume of information about a fairly arcane topic. And Vinod Kothari's enthusiastic analysis of all things securitization (even one of my articles) makes me think that if he ever showed up at our office in person, my co-workers would run screaming for the door."
