[quote user="erikem"][quote user="MP173"] <p>Once again, I will repeat...the debt markets have changed dramatically in the last few weeks. The added debt will cause the new debt and the existing debt to more than likely be considered junk status. Junk debt is not moving right now. Thus, the banks which gave the bridge loans are being saddled with the long term debt. I think you will see than beginning to greatly affect the number of deals made.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Wonder how much of the change in the debt market is due to problems with the mortgage industry? My impression is that industry is leaning more towards taking some small losses with the problem loans than cutting their own throats by increasing foreclosures.</p><p>I rather think the change with the debt markets will be good for the RR's in the long run - management will be concentrating more on running a railroad than aspiring for a buyout. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I dont think Railroads do mortgage.</p>
