johntan1979 Don't understand how securitization is the same as selling a profitable business...
jonan203 if you own 10 business each producing $100,000, you can securitize them and raise, say 7 times earnings. you get $700,000 less any fees and no longer own the income.

replace the word business with, mortgages, student loans, auto loans, etc.
khalifa92 plus securitization of the pooled assets provides more liquidity and investors are willing to pay more for more liquid assets.
