Will the Levee Break? An Ocean of Bad Debt Rises despite Fed Rescues

The rescues, bankruptcies and dizzying write-downs for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, AIG and other giants of international finance signal a reckoning for Wall Street wizards who engineered the ongoing credit crisis with opaque securities based on risky subprime home loans and the assumption that housing prices would never decline, according to a panel of Wharton professors. The flood of bad debt, they add, won't subside anytime soon.

In an interview with Knowledge@Wharton, Wharton finance professor Jeremy Siegel says there are some positive signals in stocks and corporate earnings, but that it's too soon to conclude the market has hit bottom. Siegel also talked about inflation and commodities.

After the Bailout: How Can the Fed Clean Up the Fannie and Freddie Mess?

The government's refusal to save Lehman Brothers begs a question: Why did it step in only a week earlier to risk up to $200 billion in taxpayer money to shore up mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Wharton faculty say the government made the right move -- and offer suggestions for the next step.

AIG Rescued: Was an $85 Billion Loan the Right Answer?

Eyes on the Wrong Prize: Leadership Lapses That Fueled Wall Street's Fall

Executives at AIG, Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac may have ignored or failed to see the level of risk their companies were taking on in a crusade to enhance results and their own compensation, according to Wharton faculty and industry analysts. In some cases, the management crisis was fueled by managers simply choosing not to lead.

Note to Investors: Don't Play Games with Asset Allocation

Big market downturns and jarring volatility have left small investors feeling whipsawed -- and nervous. But it would be a mistake to abandon classic long-term personal finance principles in the face of recent challenges. The 60% stocks, 30% bonds and 10% cash approach remains the best strategy. Wharton finance professors Jeremy Siegel, Richard Marston and Franklin Allen explain why.

Linking Commerce to Geopolitics: The Candidates' Views on Global Trade

With global financial markets in turmoil, trade will most likely be an urgent concern for the next president. As part of Knowledge@Wharton's ongoing coverage of the upcoming November election, we examine the candidates' views on trade issues. So far, both Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama have tended to follow predictable party lines: McCain is a supporter of free trade and would back additional multilateral trade pacts, while Obama urges a reexamination of trade agreements and their effect on the environment and U.S. workers.
