Subprime all the time
Friday, August 10, 2007
If ever there was a word that could use a break, it is "subprime" - it will probably top the list of proposed additions to the official lexicon at year-end, though some dictionaries already include it (at Merriam-Webster it is "premium content").
A search of the archives at the Wall Street Journal yields a plethora of stories containing "subprime". What you see below was retrieved late last night - since that time, a total of 17 entries have been added, about one every 40 minutes.
About 15 up from the bottom is a mention of the now-world-famous Mortgage Lender Implode-O-Meter - no sightings yet at the WSJ of the greatly anticipated recent spin-off - Hedge Fund Implode-O-Meter.

you should do a search on "NOT subprime" that would be even more interesting
I thought about that when I did the search but there is no such option - my guess is that at least half the stories in the last three days had "subprime" in them.
Now that the problem has spread to midprime, prime, and commercial loans, they should start calling it the MBS mess.
