Assets are marked at a value comensurate with like assets that have recently sold. If the asset sold was distressed, another non-distressed asset would not be valued the same as the sold distressed asset. The ONLY assets which are required to be marked to market are those which will be sold prior to their maturity. Assets which will be held to maturity are valued on their original cash flow basis. And there is great leeway on the vauation for illiquid assets such as CDSes, CDOs, and MBS. Mark to market accounting is more likened to the bank asking for an appraisal before lending on a property. The appraiser bases his/her valuation on comps and integrates any distress or differneces in recent sales into their appraisal.
