David Stevens: Here's the MBA View on
GSE Reform
What to do about Fannie, Freddie, and even Ginnie
by David Stevens, President & CEO, MBA
I read with great interest [recently] various stories in the media that focused on House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling's comments regarding the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
These stories, along with those reporting that Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. and Mark Warner, D-Virginia, have circulated GSE reform language to their Senate colleagues, gives me great hope that Congress is about to act on reforming the secondary mortgage market.
There is, however, one piece of the conversation that concerns me - the idea that the mortgage market could best be served by a system that entails revising the current charter of Ginnie Mae and allowing a new Ginnie Mae to apply its guarantee to private sector mortgages. Though an interesting concept, MBA and its members don't believe this would be the best approach.

Why SMB Lending Equals Smart Money
for Banks
by Chance Castellucio
Growth remains a universal, timeless goal for financial institutions and many pursue loan growth to offset rising compliance costs and maintain profits. Yet those loans also undergo constant examiner scrutiny, meaning banks must employ prudent underwriting and review strategies.

How to Worry Better
by Kristin Wong
As someone whose anxiety often keeps her up at night, I've never once thought that all that worrying could be good for me. If you tried to tell me otherwise, I'd probably just roll my eyes at you, then worry about hurting your feelings.
But hear me out, fellow worriers: I was wrong. Unsettling and fearful thoughts aren't always a bad thing. In a
study published earlier this year in Social & Personal Psychological Compass, the authors argue that worry can be "an emotional buffer by providing a desirable contrast to subsequent affective reactions." In other words, when we worry about something terrible happening, however unpleasant, it prepares us for whatever follows, making the situation seem not so bad.
