PPP (Payroll Protection Plan) was the biggest scam / fleecing of taxpayers in history. Literally taking from the poor and giving to the rich.
Research companies that got bailouts here:
Seen Today : 863Million of PPP went to 597K Federal prisoners - Every Democrat voted down the amendment to prevent this.
This is just the tip of the Ice Burg of the Swamp corruption. If youโre not pissed, youโre probably in on it or just an idiot!
Fed members insist they'll bring #inflation back down to 2%. In reality, most FOMC members will not live long enough to see a year when the #CPI only rises by 2%. Those days are long gone. We are reaping the whirlwind of the inflationary winds the #Fed sowed when it launched QE1.

Foreign investors represent one large bucket of MBS buyers who could step up to absorb additional MBS as the Fed sheds its holdings.

As noted in his write up, June is the first month Iโve noted list price per square foot drop on several homes for sale in Collin County also. They havenโt sold yet so data doesnโt show price declines (yet)

Myths about the Fed die hard. Nothing reasonable Fed can do about supply side driven inflation. However, Fed should use this opportunity to raise rates above the Keynes/Bagehot 2% minimum and promise to never violate this minimum again.
Only 50-50 odds of 75bps? I think weโll prob get a 75bps hike this month, if not then certainly at the next meeting. The Fed needs to respond to the latest CPI print and send a message that they mean business. Another 50bps business-as-usual hike would send the wrong message.
(3/5) In general, the housing market is slowing down but the luxury market slowdown is more dramatic.
Sales of non luxury homes fell 5.4% during the three months ending April 30 compared to 17.8% for luxury homes.
(2/5) Luxury-sales growth began to slow in the spring and summer of 2021 amid an extreme shortage of high-end properties for sale.
Now, the luxury market is cooling as soaring interest rates, a tepid stock market, and inflation put a damper on demand.
(1/5) Amid a slumping stock market and rising mortgage rates, sales of luxury homes fell 18% YoY from February to April, the largest drop since the onset of the pandemic.
There are only two instances in the past decade when there were steeper declines. #realestate
Buyers have paid above the list price on average for seventeen months in a row in the Sacramento region. The hope in months ahead is to see this number get closer to normal (about 2% below the asking price). Paying above the list price like this is not normal.
๐คก Putin think heโs a Tsar and hinted that heโs not going to stop at Ukraine
Putin said that Tsar Peter I didnโt conquer new territories, but "returned" those previously Russia lost. Then he turned to today's events:"It seems now it's our turn to return and strengthen[smiling]."
Trump and then Biden could have EASILY pointed to 40 years of failed policy, blamed the last guy and righted the ship. They both chose to keep the ponzi scheme going.
I, a 5ft 5inch, anti-western, backward looking, regressive, have compared myself to Peter the Great,a 6ft 8inch, forward looking, westward-thinking progressive.

Don't expect the housing market to be spared. Prices just take somewhat longer to adjust.
Mortgage applications are already falling sharply as mortgage rates are surging at a record pace.
after hitting almost $500k average conventional purchase mortgage loan sizes are moderating
though even if loan size is down about 8% from peak, it's still up more than 25% from where it was at beginning of 2020
The U.S. housing market is at the beginning stages of the most significant contraction in activity since 2006.
It hasn't shown up in many data series yet, but mortgage applications are pointing to a large decline over summer.
Purchase apps down 40% from seasonally adjusted peak
โItโs hard to understand why Western military help is given in doses, just enough to survive but not enough to win. It worries me. Our people are dying every day here.โ?
The #Fed caused high #inflation, not supply shortages beyond its control. The proper monetary policy response to the reduced supply caused by the pandemic would've been to reduce demand by reducing the money supply. Instead the Fed increased demand by increasing the money supply.
Barclays calling for 75bps FOMC next week. Fed should go 100 next week to reestablish credibility. Stocks and bonds would both go down for 10 minutes and then rally for weeks. CBs need to move the Overton window on what's acceptable here. Fed: You go first.
Yellen should be fired. Sheโs a Keynesian academic incompetent who doesnโt accept that inflation is a monetary phenomenon, which fact we learned in the 1970s. Those who knew what inflation was predicted surging consumer prices and an economic slowdown well over a year ago.
