- Thread starter empee
- Start date
INDU is heading for 12000 even, if not lower. This will not happen overnight. More volitality will enter the picture and 08 Elections will devistate the market.
OPEC is discussing options other than the dollar.
Inflation is an issue.
This will not be an easy ride down.
Fasten your seatbelts.
More Shockwaves to follow.

Quote from S2007S:
If anyone thinks a rate cut is going to fix the credit market or housing downturn you have to be kidding yourself, rate cuts arent the answer. There really isnt any alternative now because every alternative has been used. The 5 year bull run has ended, enter the bear.
But hey, aren't (or is it ain't) ARM rates indexed to like the prime rate that is indexed to the Fed rate which is indexed to the leg bone, or something like that. So don't these Fed rate cuts ultimately help those hapless folks with ARM's?

To a small degree they do but these guys have been paying like 1% this will still jump I hink around 5.5-6% with some much higher even with a rate cut. That is a big rise in anyones book
Paulson and Bernanke are an unstoppable duo. They will continue to inject liqudity. The PPT and the funds will keep the dow positive for the year. Shorts be warned. This isnt the late 70's/ early80's.
yes, it does help people with ARM.. they dont get hurt by the immediate rise in rates. I believe there's a 2% cap which the rate can be raised.
LIBOR(4.5->5%) + a few points = 7-12% easy. But they only can raise it by 2%. Even 2% can double somebody's monthly payment. Can they withstand the next reset in 2 years?
