Just got a mass mailer for 2.875%/2.899%APR* from Interactive Mortgage, anyone heard of them? So many mortgage/brokers out there, must be a bubble thing.

Why does the prime minister have to resign. That part I don’t get,seems like he should stay when they need him the most.

Getting awfully close to 30 year us treasury rate record. Record is 2.25 and we are at 2.29 now. May consider refi to roll solar Heloc in, 10 year at 1.46%

I usually like to buy when fear hits but I think the markets are still too high, so I’ll wait a while longer, maybe when Germany leaves the EU. If they don’t, then they will get stuck propping up Greece.

Is it time to buy back in? Or should I wait for the real exit?

Am I the only one that thought after reading this thread that POTUS (President of the United States) stood for “piece of totally useless shit”? Whether Trump is a racist or not I don’t know, but the comparison between his speeches and those of Hitler are scary.

Right now a lot of things don’t make sense to me. High credit card rates (sure there are probably lots of people defaulting), housing bubble while at the same time homelessness is at high point (sure there were probably more homeless during the depression). As the OP stated people spending like it’s no big deal (vacations,shopping,movies,eating out). I guess the thing is if people got it they spend it and if they don’t then they borrow it, and that is the way it is. There should definitely be more discussion on this board about the real estate bubble/financial bubble we are in. The jobs numbers are looking good these days but I sense that they misrepresent that a lot of those jobs are lower paying than they used to be. Somebody making minimum wage is only making $80 a day, plumbers and other trade people are charging $100+ an hour. I make good money as does my wife and we have to fix things ourselves when we can, because otherwise it would be too expensive.
What probably stresses most people looking for a house is that the average house is going up more than the average person can save.

xboxboy would it not be in both sides best interest to not let the contracts lapse in order to avoid a strike?

By the way do you think the union would let me operate a chainsaw while drinking beer? Yeah, probably not!

Didn’t think they were big on the video side. Cash infusions are in general not a good sign for long term growth.

I think I’ve come to the conclusion that weight gain is mainly responsible for the indigestion. If i could do a rip van winkle and sleep for 40 days I would probably wake up at my ideal weight.

The op’s title gave me a little deja vu

It’s all relative, yes flu I did sell my slvr stock but I still have silver/gold bullion. Like you I am patient and will not sell it until it nearly doubles. It seems expensive until you compare it to stocks, real estate, soon to be worthless paper. I guess buying it really is a vote of no confidence in the current economic system. By the way I’m not buying more, just holding on to what I have already.

There are a lot of good candidates out there for VP, but the question is who will he ask and who will accept. Will probably be a political outsider, but who knows. I think it will be a 4 year gig.
