What about accounts with a broker, like a stock broker?

davidt1ParticipantI don’t think I even know how to ask a question correctly. I know banks are not in business to help people, and I don’t expect them to. What I am trying to ask is:
1. Currently when people can’t make payments because their ARM resets, banks foreclose and try to sell at market value but no body is buying. Meanwhile, inventories keep piling up. Eventually, banks will have to sell at substantially lower prices.
2. Or they could work out some kind of deal with troubled home owners so they (banks) don’t have to go through the trouble of foreclosing, losing the interest income and selling at a loss later.
What Would it be in the banks’ best interest to do, 1 or 2?

davidt1ParticipantIs it silly to ask a question one seeks an answer to? It’s a question of what would be better for the banks. Foreclose on properties and incur the loss and headache that come with it or reduce rates slightly and let the home owner keep the house. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

davidt1ParticipantThe market is probably anticipating the Fed’s holding or lowering rates.
