Theres a section in the book, and i would imply this to the regulators as well and everybody and Board Members the power of simple questions. In other words, there are certain simple questions you, when you ask them and pursue the answers you learn something. In the late 2000s fannie mae took a large hit for an ordinary company not large for them because they were such a big company on manufacturing housing loan. In 2003, the chief Credit Office at fannie mae wrote a report saying one of the lessons is you cant trust the aaa rating because we bought aaa pieces on the mobile home loans and they createred on us.
