Meredith Whitney interview with video linked below.

The US housing market will face another retreat while mortgage-backed securities and Treasurys are likely to go through a "material" correction, Meredith Whitney, CEO of Meredith Whitney Advisory Group, told CNBC Tuesday.

"The housing market surely will double dip," Whitney told "Worldwide Exchange."

Government programs to support housing have been "murky" and when the modifications caused by them come to an end, a lot of supply may come to the market and that's when the real-estate market is likely to go down, she explained.

Stagflation will be the endgame.
Anything that unfolds this year will likely be a continuation or variation on the various rope-a-dope schemes we’ve seen this year and last. Get people in houses and keep the money supply moving. Bernanke has already stated that the Fed will simply start buying up MBSs again if housing sales begin to seriously contract (correct).

Agree, I think this game would never end. Fed will just double down and by another $3T of MBS, because nobody else would. If they let it go, interest rate would definitely go up by 1.5-2%, which would cause the housing sale to go down rapidly(already its down for the last two months). I think they wouldnt let anything happen until this election.
