STUDY: Federal Pre-emption of State Anti-Predatory Lending Laws Led to More Mortgage Defaults

A new research report out of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill looks at the impact of federal preemption of state Anti-Predatory Lending laws. The key factor was the decision by the Bush White House in 2004 to preempt state lending standards.

You will be not be surprised at the net results.

<>States that have Anti-Predatory Lending (APL) laws are associated with a lower rate of mortgage defaults than non-APL states. Typically, Anti-Predatory Lending laws require verification of borrowers’ repayment ability, as well as include limits on fees, rates and prepayment penalties.

Natural Gas Companies Increasingly Important

Natural gas prices are still very low and supplies seem abundant. That happens to be two of the reasons that natural gas is becoming more of the "economically reasonable, environmentally better" energy alternatives for the time being.

Companies that are in the business of transporting and distributing natural gas in the US are increasingly seen as important parts of the energy infrastructure. Atlas Pipeline Partners (NYSE:APL) is one of my favorites in this category, but the price per share has been a nightmare for shareholders over the past year.

Is a 20% Yield Sustainable? Look at Atlas Pipeline Partners

First let me disclose that I own shares of Atlas Pipeline Partners (APL), and I'm delighted by yesterday's humbling earnings announcement by the company.

Wednesday, Atlas declared a quarterly distribution of 38 cents. While that is down from the 96 cents it declared last quarter, I think it lays to rest the market’s excessive worries about APL’s cash flows.
