The US government may have little choice but to use an auction process to price up to $700 billion of toxic mortgage debt it is buying from financial institutions, even if the formula has its snags. So let’s discuss how these things will shape up.

An auction process would make sense, because it would allow the banks with the best information about the securities to determine the price that has set up auctions for governments globally. But competition among sellers would prevent banks from setting too high a price. I think this is the only and best option available to resolve the crisis now.

There appears to be no better solution than auction to bail out these financial institutions.

This rescue plan should help restore confidence to financial markets. Banks and other financial institutions faced with going will gain a lifeline that should allow them to start making/giving loans again.

I definitely feel there are drawbacks. A reverse descending clock auction would work best for securities held by multiple banks, but not as well for securities that are owned by just one or two institutions. In that case, there would be less competition to sell. The price might be higher than the assets end up being worth, costing the government money. I know the extremity of the situation but still the Govt should come out with something else to benefit all the parties involved.
