The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

The only way I could think of that the investment banker will benefit is if he raises the interest to a percent that will give him more than the amount the mortgage did cost for him, but can he really do that?
Let's say the lender will get 100 000$ from the family through mortgage, then the investment banker buys this mortgage, in which way does it profit any of them?
If the investment banker buys the mortgage(s) for 90 000$, the lender obviously loses money. If he buys the mortgage(s) for 110 000$, will he not lose in that case? he get's 100 000$ from the families and loses 10 000$ with every purchased mortgage?
The investment banker (using your example) would buy it for 110,000. He then packages it up into smaller sales. Say he sells it in three pieces for 40,000 a piece. He then makes 10,000 total.
The investors that bought the packaged mortgages now make interest basically off of the interest the home owner is paying.

Thanks. Now I understand why it unfluences us in Europe so much.
We live in a small world .
So take the opportunity.
