ParticipantI am sure it will have some impact but I don’t think the percentage is THAT great.
With that said I sat down with mom a few months ago and repositioned a good chunk of her portfolio into stable low risk assets (t-bills, cd’s, etc.)

They have done REALLY well for me lately. 🙂

It is frustrating for us home buyers too. Here I am sitting on the sidelines, plenty of down payment, solid 780+ fico, good income and ready willing and able to buy. It’s a waiting game that will just keep playing out….UGH.

Why in the world ANYONE would live there is beyond me.

August 13, 2007 at 12:57 PM in reply to: Oh my… Countrywide just set new rates (effective tomorrow)… #74590ParticipantI don’t agree with comments about rates going to come down. The simple issue here is that the spread between these loans and the risk-free treasury is way to low. Why on earth would an investor accept a 6% return on a risky investment compared to 5% for a T-bill? It just doesn’t add up and eventually people figured it out. Sorry folks but outside of the conforming loans that are bought by FM & FM we are going to see higher rates for all other loans for quite some time.
