ParticipantTreasury Secretary Henry Paulson said…(see post above)
Of course the Fed IS planning (or already implementing) actions to bring mortgage rates down to (or below) 4.5% on 30-year fixed.
Paulson isn’t an idiot (although he acts like one); he understands that a promise to America for rates of 4.5% on 30-year fixed would bring the already slow-as-molasses home market to a standstill, as potential homebuyers stalled purchases and waited for the promised 4.5% loans.
So Paulson made the only statement that wouldn’t get him fired. He lied and said they weren’t targeting 4.5%

December 16, 2008 at 1:01 PM in reply to: How high goes the rally on Obama infrastructure spending? #316134ParticipantMy target for the upside in this rally is 1050 to 1100.
Well, markets sure made some progress towards that goal today. I’m glad I sold my short ETF position on the S&P500 last week.

So far, shorting treasuries has been a losing proposition. My ProShares short 7-10 year treasuries ETF is already off by 5%.

ParticipantI think the post that kicked off this thread is simply brilliant.
As for the reply post by DWCAP, I say this: “It is fine and dandy that you are a patriot. We get it. However, if your arguments and money blindy follow your patriotism in believing in the US economy, then I think you’ll lose your money and your arguments.”
