Yes. That being said I dont consider conforming mortgages and car loans to be in the same boat. Anyone can get a car loan. A conforming mortgage is another animal.
People on ARMs are a risk. That is going to be a huge shock but they are not numerous enough to be the systemic issue they were in the housing crisis.

I do think certain areas had massive speculative buying though and could see big drops. Just can’t see bank failures resulting this time.

With sub-3% 30-year fixed available, if people were buying arms, they get what they deserve. That being said, I dont think there were a lot of them. I firmly believe housing needs to drop. I just believe its a reversion to the mean and not a crash.

What’s the technical term for amount of stock kept / owned by company associates? Major Holders Breakdown? I was thinking about Palantir at 8 bucks but wanted to see if these fuckers dumped their own shares yet.

I mean, the thing with real estate is that it's local. While the trend was definitely up across the country, like always it was cities that had the biggest swing in prices. So prices will decrease with interest rates, but it won't be a bubble popping.

I hope we go back to the 1970s and interest rates are like 18%

Lending out money at a loss for decades is how these FED folks got us into this shit in the first place.

Green is such a fleeting color. You didnt think we would get 3 straight days of green in the S&P did you?
