BANKING & MORTGAGE LENDING: Banking, Broker, Lending Industry: Mr. Rydstrom has been published by Chairman Rangel of the House Ways and Means Committee for the 110th Congress of the United States on Solutions to the Economy, Predatory Lending, Defaults & Foreclosures. Mr. Rydstrom created new Suitability Disclosures (TID) and risk mitigation devices (SHILO and FMII, DMII, IMII, BMII) that resolve issues for all market participants, including the borrower. Mr. Rydstrom created non-cash substitutes or equivalent risk-pricing (ERP) mortagage insurance investment funds (investment devices tradeable on Wall Street) to pay for the enhanced risk of the subprime borrower without overloading the borrower with unaffordable monthly cash payments. Risk must be paid for or the risk price formula becomes corrupt. The question is, can it be paid for with non-cash equivalents? Will "Wall Street" step up and create such vehicles?
