Sept 22nd Video Mortgage and Financial Market Update

Hello Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I was probably more than cautiously optimistic with the unprecedented Fed move on Friday proposing a near trillion dollar "bail out" to the financial markets to stabilize not only our economy but the global economy. Some stability has set in on a worldly level but not so much at home. The DOW is down nearly 400 as I type near the market close and mortgage backed securities have worsened in the past few minutes since I recorded the video down to 50 basis point loss, or .50% in fee on a mortgage loan. There is a lot of content again in the video update so I would recommend watching the update to get the full meal deal. In a nutshell, today is too early to tell how this is all going to play out. A lot of speculation but typically in the financial sector the suggestion is always to go off of history and not speculation. Well since there is no history of something like this with a 700 Billion injection of funds from the federal reserve, we have to speculate. Speculating is kind of like assuming and we all know what can happen when we assume. So stay tuned, we are in for a ride! Be Blessed! Travis

I like the idea of attaching a video, however when I clicked on it, it was no longer available.

May be some kind of glitch.

There is plenty of history and all of it indicates that the best time for the Gov to get involved is after the damage has been done, in this case it is like getting in front of a speeding train and now the Tax payer is the one who is going to take the hit.  Gov does not have enough money to buy out the bad debt and Tax payer can't absorb the inflation the buy out would cause, future is bleek and there is nothing they can do to fix it the market needs to fix itself...

Bob, thanks for letting me know. Youtube has a delay sometimes while the video is being processed even though they give the embedded code. It is up now, thanks for letting me know.

And Nathan, I have to agree with you on some of the points but the scary part is the alternative. I am assuming and hoping the Fed's know a lot more about the impact of not stepping in then I do because I can not imagine they would have taken this drastic and dangerous of a step had there not been potential dire consequences of not stepping in.

Be Blessed!
