They cut budgets and put off investments. It’s almost as if everyone is just waiting for an excuse to do less.”

Wachovia has been among the banks hardest hit by the ongoing crisis in the mortgage market. It paid roughly $25 billion for Golden West at the height of the nation’s housing boom. With that purchase, Wachovia inherited a deteriorating $122 billion portfolio of Pick-A-Payment loans, Golden West’s specialty, which let borrowers skip some payments.

Pick-A-Payment. You got that? Pick-A-Payment. So here I am with a normal mortgage and several bank accounts with Wachovia and in 2006 they acquired a bank that offered PICK-A-PAYMENT mortgages?

(Editors note: This post is filed under a new category called “Bank of China.” More to come, I’m sure.)
