Countrywide Securities Corporation, part of Countrywide Capital Markets, is the place to go if you are doing MBS/ABS and interested in LA. It is run pretty much like a Wall Street shop, its sales and trading volumes are right there with the big boys. The downside is that it is on the west coast and it doesn't have the reputation like Bear or Lehman.
