Fed. Makes full Half Point int. rate reduction.

[Mark-DuCo]

Glad mine is locked in at 2.62%.

I wish I could have locked in when I built, but no bank would do a fixed rate mortgage on my house. It is considered an unconventional building style because it is a berm style or in ground house.

 

[HoosierLife]

There will be another 50 basis points drop in November. They have to keep going, no matter who wins the election.

 

[rbhargan]

Keep in mind that a change in the Fed discount rate does not necessarily carry over into the commercial market.

 

[smokingman]

This may help some home buyers. And car buyers.


Edit: strange this happened just before the election.

It was a promise made by Biden early last summer(reduced rates).

The FED is just as political as CNN or MSN, it just hides the fact better.

There is no “soft landing,” this is all just theater before the election to pump up CommieLa’s numbers and fool people.

It’s all made up, the fiat money system is finished. All the players know it, and there’s no getting away from the crash, only positioning yourself better if you have the ability to do so, which is why Buffett, et al. have sold off billions of dollars worth of stock in the last 60 days to get out from under “bad” investments in virtual money, before the “new” money comes in with digital currency. It’s all been fake since going off the gold standard in 1971. There’s not even enough USD in the entire globe to pay off the interest on the national debt, let alone actually being able to pay it off. That’s not how the game is played.

It’s all about power and control, and those in power and control pull the levers for their own benefit and do what it takes for them to remain in power.

I can't wait to see how much money the big banks get in bailouts this time.

Those ceo's and high other high level executives haven't had proper bonuses since the last crash and bailout.

Anyone that follows the silver thread knows I’ve been bad mouthing the Fed. since I’ve been on here.

It is all about control, control the money. That is why the govt. took control of gold. If TPTB let gold go to its true value they could not control our national and personal finances.

Yes, the silver and gold markets are artificially manipulated.

I’ll say again, no government in the history of the world has survived that depends on fiat currency. And the time we live in is the first time in history that all the world’s governments are using fiat as currency.

Stack it high, wide, and deep. The time is coming. Of course JMO.

The Gold standard was cumbersome and demanded real discipline, but it did have it's own check and balance system. Our Congress, who is more drunk on money than any Jack Daniels drunk can be, has proven to be too undisciplined to handle the people's money. The Fed bought Congress. Since 1972 Congress has bought the Fed. Lovely.

I am living below my means and trying to scrimp every penny to have as much down for buying a home later next year to offset these "fun" rates. Probably too far off to ask for advice, but is that a bad idea? On a side note I'm trying to learn about "real" investing, if that's even a thing and I don't know where to start. Moderate risk tolerance and I am not afraid to read technical stuff. I do not want to pay a broker. Do I not know enough of what I do not know to know?

Cheers.

I have a saying at the dealership. Buy the RV, date the rate. If you find a house, buy it, I do not see prices going down anytime soon. You can always refinance if/when rates go back down.
