if we follow her, is it insider trading?

 

[Canefan4life]

Don’t they report their trades within 30days so not like you find out the minute they buy or sell

I’m in favor of index funds or etfs only for the three branches. Yes, that would require Trump to have zero ownership of his own media company.

When you double the national debt in less than 4 years, you get inflation.

Reverse repo - out of funds
Treasury has $700b left.

Time to end QT and potentially start QE just to keep the government funded.

Wasn't it $28.4 Trillion or so 4 years ago? That's not double.

Which will help short term but hurt long term.

Do we melt up or do we see a recession in 2025?

So we split the difference. When Trump left office, it was +/- $27.5 T. Its now somewhere around $37T. So about 40% up, and rapidly rising.

Do we melt up or do we see a recession in 2025?

Gosh, the waters are a bit too murky for me, but I dont see a melt up, the market is already frothy.

I'd really like to see mortgage rates drop.

And I would like the Cavinder twins to fall in love with me.

Well, you've already got the charm and devilish good looks, if you could refi at a lower rate, you might have the funds for wining and dining too.

As someone actively looking to buy I could agree or disagree.. if mortgage rates go up and prices drop I’m cool with it… if they go up and spark a buying I’m scared to see how much prices run again.

price gouging on homes is still high in our area. A lot of homes sitting on the market for 6+ months.

JD think we’re close. I offered on a home last week and the listing realtor told me flat out—- “ I won’t let this house sell for under 800k, only investors will buy this home. If you’re looking for your forever home this needs $200k plus. A flipper can drop $100k and make 200k profit… $100k credit on closing for remodeling and asking $900k for a home worth around 650-700k.

We're in the same boat paddling different directions. I see my neighbor's house has an offer at 90% of the original asking price in under 2 months. I'd be happy with that, but over the summer.

One thing I see is the valuations are all over the place like before 2008. The AVM at my credit union has my house at a price I would love to get, but know it will never happen. That just fuels the investors.
