Bad Economic Predictions
If you haven't refi'd your mortgage lately, might want to take a look. The bond market is falling apart. The lender (SoFi) we used is already offering 2.5% for 15, 3.0% for 30 without points. At least, when I went through their pre-qualification that's what it said.
Rates may go lower still.

10 year rates just went below 0.50%; 30 yr below 1.00%; S&P futures down 4%; Oil down to almost $30 as Russia + Saudi Arabia spark an oil war and OPEC cannot negotiate a production cut.

I always suspect collusion, but I have a suspicious mind.

Gas prices have been overly stable for the past year, if that keeps up more than another month or two, super suspicious.

Stocks ended up hitting the 7% circuit breaker (Stops trading for 15 minutes after a 7% decline). But, seem to be holding that level post-breaker.
Stocks are down 18% +/- since their all time high.

Stock ended up a little further down. Already down 1% more after hours. I wonder where this all ends?

DEATH TO THE CAPITALISTS!

Well, there are no more Capitalists. Trump is floating a payroll tax cut AND making sure hourly workers get paid no matter what.

I was pondering a new tax idea. Could a tax cut for businesses be possible based upon how many people they employ. The key here being it would save the government all of most of the cost of that person being unemployed, while also being cost effective for businesses so it actually encourages hiring.
The point would be to encourage hiring instead of companies trying to run on skeleton crews. Make it so laying people off isn't necessarily a "go to" method of boosting quarterly/annual performance for stock gains.

Payroll taxes are directly based on payroll. They’re a relatively easy way to do employment based tax cuts.

Despite bonds still being depressed, mortgage rates have shot back up. One word is that there's simply too much demand for refinances, so theyve raised rates to slow things down.TheCatt wrote: If you haven't refi'd your mortgage lately, might want to take a look.

I mean, not really his fault, BUT the asshole did say previously stock market crashes are the fault of the sitting president and "no excuses", so...

Last night was absolutely his fault. I was saying the overall market dropping lately has not been all on him.
I do think he's done far more harm than not with the coronavirus hype.
