Are U.S. subprime bonds back?

One of the key causes of the financial crisis might be making a comeback. That’s because some U.S. firms are bundling riskier mortgages and selling them without government backing, reports bloomberg.com.

But what’s different this time is that these securities aren’t called subprime. Also, the firms that are involved in these loans say they’re taking on the larger portion of risk, so as to not repeat the mistakes of the past.
