SACRAMENTO, CA -- Even before New Century went on the skids, the stocks of many publicly traded nonprime lenders were falling fast.

An Internet company that focuses on selling foreclosed homes says that all the attention currently being paid to rising defaults is behind the steep decline seen in some mortgage-related stock prices recently.

TheHomeBuyingCenter.com said that rising rates and slumping home prices were the two key factors behind the hit that companies such as New Century and HSBC recently have experienced.

New Century's stock price dropped by $10.92, or 36.2%, after the company reported accounting errors that caused the firm to inaccurately track how some mortgage loans have declined in value. That news hit the market on Feb. 7. Things haven't gotten any better since for New Century's shareholders. (See related story, page one).
