TERI went BK, but this doesn't directly tank FMD. FMD will

I don't think I'm brave enough to do this with real money, b...

1) The credit sector will recover, and FMD will be able to bundle student loans and recover strongly.
2) The government w...

Long term - School loans are NOT sub-prime mortgages.
Short term - well, wall st. is so afraid of the word 'securitising', so we might haven't seen the bottom yet.
