Businessweek - "Subprime Woes Subdue Some Winners" (2-16-07)

But investors should be forewarned: There are still potential pitfalls for many financial firms, as S&P thinks their holdings of new-fangled mortgage products with adjustable rates and flexible payment options could face some hurdles in the coming months (see BusinessWeek.com, 2/14/07, 'A Sinking Sensation for Subprime Loans')."
