- CEOs call on lawmakers: Make a deal to avoid "fiscal cliff"
Corporate CEOs are urging lawmakers to come to a compromise on government debt and the "fiscal cliff." "There has to be shared pain," said Robert Greifeld, head of Nasdaq OMX Group. "... It's very difficult for politicians to run on a platform where they're getting everybody mad at them. But for us to address this, there's going to have to be revenue increases. There are going to have to be spending cuts." Bloomberg Businessweek

- Shellpoint Partners moves toward securitizations
Shellpoint Partners has filed a registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a private securitization program. The move indicates momentum in the private mortgage-bond market. "We remain committed to non-agency securitization because we think the macro trend is intact, which is to reduce the government footprint in the mortgage market," said Bruce Williams, a co-chief executive at Shellpoint, which is partly owned by Lewis Ranieri, a pioneer of mortgage bonds.

- CFPB could restrict lawsuits involving high-quality mortgages
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is considering a rule that would effectively bar lawsuits involving some home mortgages made to borrowers with excellent credit ratings and plenty of resources to make payments, sources said. The rule reportedly would establish a U.S. definition of "qualified mortgage" and give lenders a legal shield against lawsuits involving loans that meet the standard. Slate/Moneybox blog
