The housing and subprime lending meltdown and resulting credit crisis continue to develop, resulting in significant challenges and opportunities. Analysts estimate eventual write-downs of affected investments may approximate one trillion dollars, with some suggesting possible losses as high as two trillion dollars. Major financial institutions have come under intense financial pressure or been forced into bankruptcy or insolvency. Waves of litigation and investigations have swept over the financial industry, and numerous new regulations and laws have been proposed or enacted at the local, state and federal levels.
