Can I not take a few days off without the entire market shifting more than it has the prior 3 months?


Maiden Lane III supply pushed AJ prices down as much as 5 points. The collateral  includes two CDOs that are primarily collateralized by at least $2.8 billion of AJs and $2.6mm in AMs. Someone commented that it was more like $8 billion of AJs, but I honestly haven't looked yet. Both are big numbers. (DB, comments, news)

DB took a look at 1Q 2012 performance and made a few conclusions that were interesting.

1. Approximately 50% of loans maturing in the 1Q paid off with a <2% loss.
2. Smaller loans (<$10mm) had more success paying off with a 45% refi rate, compared to a 27% refi rate on >$50mm balance loans.
3. Hotels and MF had the highest refi rates, of approximately 42% and 40%, respectively.
4. CWCapital continues to exhibit the slowest liquidation rates and longest disposal timelines
