Presenting David Tepper's Holdings Bloodbath, As S&P Takes BAC Home Loan Servicing To The Woodshed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It seems like yesterday that David Tepper uttered the famous last words: "What will go up? EVERYTHING." Too bad, then, that one look at Mr. Appaloosa's holdings today shows a complete bloodbath (yes, don't adjust your monitor, that IS an 11 handle on BAC). Unless, of course, between June 30, and just after his now legendary CNBC interview, the Chatham, NJ-based hedge fun manager was actually selling his positions to the creme of the crop of CNBC viewer gullibility. But that would of course never happen. That said, we can't wait for his Q3 13F to be proven right. Oh, and John Paulson's recovery fund is fast approaching 2010 P&L lows.

Presenting, for your gloating enjoyment, Tepper's top 25 holdings. Note holdings #1, #2, #4 and #5. As a reminder, CapitalIQ has Tepper's equity holdings at $2.5 billion.

And for all those wondering why BofA will soon revisit Mr. Paulson's cost basis of $9, here it is, fresh from the S&P printers:

Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services today placed its ABOVE AVERAGE residential prime,
subprime, special servicer, and subordinate-lien servicer rankings on
BAC Home Loans Servicing L.P. (BACHL) on CreditWatch with negative
implications. We have consolidated our rankings on Bank of America N.A.
and Countrywide Home Loans Servicing L.P., the predecessor companies
that merged to form BAC Home Loans Servicing L.P., to reflect their
post-integration status. Prior to the CreditWatch placements, our
outlooks on the servicers were stable. BACHL is a subsidiary of Bank of
America N.A. The CreditWatch placements follow a statement from Bank of
America announcing that it is delaying foreclosures in 23 states while
it investigates all related foreclosure affidavits for possible

For these secured mortgages, I estimate the cost per mortgage to correctly research and record title to be between $5000 to $15000 per home, with maybe 10% costing less than $5000 in legal and filing fees, and 10% costing more than $15,000 in legal and filing fees.

There is no amount of research that is going to solve the problem. 

How may the loan servicer move a proof of claim or a motion to lift the automatic stay in BK court, when the promissory notes sits elsewhere, beyond said servicer’s statutory reach, in a separate legalistic formed entity, statutorily defined as the Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit without recourse?

When the defendant is lost in equity for which has no standing in Law.

It might jot be so easy this time around.  More eyeballs watching, and more understanding of what a load of crap we were dealt.

Not Too Big To Jail

"FIGHTING FORECLOUSRE FRAUD"

The banks have gone wild.

Over the last three months, I've been bombarded with stories of banks committing foreclosure fraud to take people's homes. Foreclosure fraud happens when a bank decides that it wants to take someone's house, but it doesn't have legal title to do so. So it forges paperwork to show the court that it can take a home. Judges often agree to a foreclosure, because most of them can't believe a bank would simply falsify paperwork. Since the foreclosure fraud story was exposed, however, Bank of America and JP Morgan-Chase have suspended foreclosures in 23 states, including Florida. Judges are getting more skeptical and demanding paperwork.

But this isn't stopping the problem fast enough. JP Morgan Chase was just caught hiring a contractor to break into a woman's home and change the locks, while she cowered in a bathroom and called 911. Then the bank claimed it was a simple mistake, as she wasn't even in foreclosure.

Last month, I called for the Florida Supreme Court to halt these illegal foreclosures. The Florida Supreme Court declined, saying it had no authority to do so. I also asked Fannie Mae to stop working with law firms under investigation for falsifying paperwork. They have not responded. I recently sent a letter to the Treasury Secretary and our national bank regulators asking for a national moratorium on foreclosures while authorities assess the scope of the problem. I have also taped a 7-minute YouTube video explaining the whole situation.

But that's not enough. We need to stop these "banks gone wild."

I need your help. I'm sending a letter to the Director of the FBI and to Central Florida's U.S. Attorney asking them to prosecute banks that foreclose illegally on homeowners.

Will you add your name to this letter? I will send this letter, along with all of the cosigners and your comments, to law enforcement officials.

You can sign it here, at NotTooBigtoJail.com.

Courage,

Congressman Alan Grayson

The law is a severe, severable, separable and prejudicial force.

What may have enabled one party to win a foreclosure issue, is not a boiler plate remedy that will enable another to win.  Why are lazy people always looking for boiler plates instead of learning?

People are trying to blame others for their own problems, your chains lie in your own hand. 

"The Florida Supreme Court declined, saying it had no authority to do so."

Duh.  The court can start sancitoning companies for trying to commit fraud upon the court but no court has authority to tell someone they can't have access to the court to seek remedy.

Instead of stupid homeowners complaining to their Congressman, maybe they should consider going to the law library and learning.  Oh, but it's so easy to blame others for their own mistakes.

After years of angst and struggle, and having seen Tepper's greed driven, destructive comment...played over and over again until I thought I would die of a stroke...

...I can now say that I am entirely happy, content, and at peace...just from gazing upon that top holdings list.

Thank you, Tyler.  You have saved my life.

forgive me ZHers, i'll be posting this one a lil more than usual so i'll not do the usual trying to be at the top with it and throw in a throwback or 2 later today to make up for it :)

today's selection comes courtesy of my little sister's itunes.  she has impeccable taste in music and it is certainly worth sharing.  however, this is not the EDM you are looking for.  rather an eclectic collection of bump.  i did not include her favorite country songs.  as far afield as this playlist is i thought that would be a bridge too far.

But its filled with love thats grown in southern ground
And a little bit of chicken fried

BACHL is loan servicer, loan servicers are a "Debt Collector" as defined in the FDCPA.  A "debt collector" lacks "standing" to foreclose or collect a "debt" in the forum known by most as a court of Law.  Robo-signing gate is the smoke screen to cover up the real problem.  There is nobody that can foreclose unless the stupid homeowner fails to sustain the Law.

Loan servicers are going the way of the dinosaur because lemmings have FINALLY started to open their eyes.

What's Tepper's short book look like? Oh, he doesn't have to file those...oh. What's his hedge book look like? You know, options and CDS and stuff. Oh, that's not disclosed either? Well, then I'm certain you've captured his current portfolio exposure profile exactly by looking at 107 day-old longs...
