预计花旗集团(Citigroup)、美国银行(Bank of America)和摩根大通(JPMorgan)今日将宣布，3家银行计划联合创立一只基金，收购与抵押贷款相关的证券，以平息市场对价格螺旋式下跌的恐惧。价格的螺旋式下跌将影响大型银行的资产负债状况。

一位知情人士表示，新基金名为Single-Master Liquidity Enhancement Conduit (SMLEC)，3家美国银行将联合为该基金提供价值约750亿美元的信用担保。但银行人士表示，这项计划还会发展演变，可能不会超出需要的规模。SMLEC将是临时性的，而且有规模限制，不会得到任何国家担保的支持。

The conduit is expected to start operating in 90 days and will stay in place for a few years until it has disposed of the assets it buys, according to people familiar with the negotiations.
To maintain its credibility with investors from whom it would raising money, the conduit will not buy any bonds that are tied to mortgages made to people with spotty, or subprime, credit histories. Rather, it will buy debt with the highest ratings — AAA and AA — and debt that is backed by other mortgages, credit card receipts and other assets.

先把消息放出来，制造紧张气氛，然后再拣便宜货，厉害啊
