Did it have something to do with mortgage lending to people who didn’t have a down payment at sub prime rates with a high credit risk? Who pushed these policies?

Should unvested stock as well as stock options be taken into account when evaluating the net worth? February 21, 2010
Posted by Banking in : Personal Finance , 3commentspascal_vanderstraeten asked:
Or, in other words, what value should be given from a credit risk to a net worth of a borrower that consists of unvested stocks and stock options related to the company he’s working for? Should that value be brought back to zero because if for instance the borrower would leave his company, those unvested stock and stock options would remain ownership ofthe company?
What reasons are there to put money into treasury bills, rather than a FDIC-insured money market account? November 14, 2009

Shorter-term treasury bills are earning ~1% these days.
My money market savings account is earning ~3.5%. It’s been at this rate, or higher, for years. Since it’s FDIC-insured, its credit risk isn’t substantially more than that of a treasury bill. And, it’s more liquid.
So why would someone put their money into treasury bills?
Thanks!
