Eagle-TribuneThe housing market is slow. Just ask someone who is trying to sell a house, or any real estate agent.And this is more than just an inconvenience that touches a few people. It has caused a flood of foreclosures that have had a powerful impact on giant financial institutions like Citicorp ($11 billion), Merrill Lynch & Co. ($8.4 billion) and Morgan Stanley ($2.5 billion), and it affects the way that people feel about buying and selling.Bloomberg.com, a leading financial news resource, states the global problem succinctly: "The surge in foreclosures has ... led to more than $40 billion of write-downs for U.S. financial institutions."Why all the foreclosures?
