GS Conference Call: Mortgage Fall Out Has More To Go
We believe ... the industry will suffer $148 Billion total losses related to CDOs, to date we've accounted for roughly about $40 billion of those, so we're estimating another $108 billion in writedowns over the next several quarters.Most of this call is company specific (like Citi), however the bearish comments on the credit crunch, housing and states currently in or near recession are worth noting.
