Re: The Nation's Financial Condition
I dont think folks are understanding waht I'm saying and living in the past. We pulled the housing lever until it's got no more room to go.
Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

Was indeed. Thx for the article. The wealth disparity created will last generations with adverse effects in healthcare, life expectancy, education.

Re: The Nation's Financial Condition
Apologies I honestly thought you and most folks knew they had public stock (common equity) and have incorporated in like the 60s. It was crazy these arrogant Fannie/freddie employees aitring there with this backdrop so they can do anything and they get to act like their helping Americansa fan wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 7:02 pmAh, thanks.

So yeah the govt stepped in with the mass losses and insolvency and said now it’s officially our “nut” and we’re gonna sweep all cash flows directly now. Going on 15yrs now. I never understood the public stock but you want to get mad at banks and fdic deposit insurance for banks then you should be dipshit about the folks at Fan and Fred for like 25yrs

Re: The Nation's Financial Condition
Ask your relatives if any of the men were ever in the diplomats. A club I was in first few years after moving from nyc to Atl. Meetings and home base was capitol city country club in Buckhead.
While I’m suggesting the mass public needs another path to wealth accumulation going forward than real estate (personal residence as investment vehicle indiriectly) note the wealthiest folks and what they’ve invested in last few years and how most folks are putting all their. Life’s on subscriptions and not owning much of anything.
Step 1: find curvelinear comp model profession (not a trade gig)
Step 2: Figure out a way to make you assets earn all the time. Lofeninsurnefe peoim finance loan, etc

No, I learned that part during the crash.

Re: The Nation's Financial Condition
Ten Ye UST should “normalize” around +100bps to Fed funds when we get back to a positively sloping curve. That would suggest 2.5-2.75% today based on a 3:6…% 10yr yield at the moment (keep in mind mortgages and longer duration secured credits often run off the 1yr UST or swap basis equivalent so an important point within the curv). I think we land more like 3.25-4% and the ten year when soon positively will bump around around +50+75bps which gets iuo a little higher on the ten year and not as low on Fed funds- like 3.25%-4.00% FF-10yrPizzaSnake wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2024 6:54 pm Monetary policy limbo — how low will it go?

What’s critical is that 2.5% is still manfully higher, than is was for more or less fifteen years of zirp (zero interest rate policy). It’s an extra $2k a month on a $1mm small business loan for many.
