Really?

Can we assume you are some kind of authority on what wife beaters look like by default?  :popcorn:

Quote from: Garraty_47 on November 11, 2024, 01:16:48 PMThey're still acting like it was simply issuing mortgages, not a drop in the price of homes, that precipitated the bubble bursting. People who had already acquired mortgages didn't make the bubble burst thus dropping the price of a home. Without that condition the market would have chugged along as it had been although as is typical with bubbles of any kind it would have popped eventually.

But not because of people taking an opportunity, maybe their only opportunity, to grab a piece of the 'Murican dream for themselves. If anything they were entrapped by the same system that then threw them under the bus to protect the people who caused the crisis to begin with.

The 'Murican financial system is predatory by nature; that's baked in and exactly why it needs to be destroyed. A system that crashes every 10-20 years (invariably causing the most suffering among the most vulnerable populations) is a failed system and deserves to be shitcanned.

The largest part of why the prices dropped is because people were defaulting and it flooded the market.

Quote from: JOE on November 11, 2024, 02:13:35 PMI bought most of mine when Gold was $2500 or less.....Lokmeer!

Havent made too many gold puchases since Gold shot past $2500/oz. Even if Gold were to fall to $2300 Id still break even eh?

Usually when I buy Gold these days I try to get it at or below spot.

Believe it or not, there are still some legitimate reputable places selling real gold below its market value.

While I got singed a bit on the current  Silver price I bought most of it at or below $30.

Again I try to find deals where I can instead of the established dealers who charge a bit too much.

Anyways I'm in it fer the long haul....Lokmeer!

Im gonna put my stash in storage soon, mothball it & dont touch it for the next 10 years or when the SHTF....Bud!

Actually Lokmeer I think its best to make investments NOW while the dollar or our currencies are still worth something eh?

The longer anyone keeps it in cash its gonna keep depreciating & be worth less n less by year.

TRANSLATED: Buy the Hard Assets now before Inflation eats away at your dollar and they become too Expensive

Anyways thats my strategy primarily cuz I was around during the 1970s and I witnessed how inflation ate away at our purchasing power & many things become more expensive

Regardless of who is in the White House I think we'll see a repeat of the 1970s with the latter part of the decade seeing a resurgence in inflation just like it did 50 years ago

Idiot, gold is heading to $2500/oz and silver below $30/oz. You shoulda sold when I told you to and took some profits, then bought back in at the on sale price like I'm going to.

You fukin dumb ass!  :crampe:

Best way to enter that market now is to try mining  earning getting paid for a service or bartering nut not buying it with your own money

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on November 11, 2024, 10:46:14 AMI agree with you. Mostly. Up till the part where you place all of the blame on banks. That is where we differ slightly. Banks indeed are culpable and were in fact the henchmen which carried out will of their puppet masters. 

But they were PLACED in this situation in 1995 by democrat scum via the Community Reinvestment Act of 1995.

This act mandated that banks FIND A WAY to provision loans in low income communities which were estimated to be predominately people of color or face stiff penalties. black and brown People are poor because white people exist!  Typical democrat scum mantra.

The government never worked on any of the underlying issues which were causing homes to be unaffordable to these  people of color. they instead opted to blame the evil corporate empire and mandated their way out of the issue. But they never told banks HOW they were to lend 300,000.00 over a 360 month term at a 7.25% interest rate to a person making 24K a year and keep the principle, homeowners insurance, PMI, interest and Taxes under the 35% of take home pay threshold.

a 24K annual salary estimates at approximately 1590.00 month when you factor in a conservative state and federal taxation of roughly 19% based on the lower income bracket.

So banks had to devise a way to make a monthly mortgage payment not exceed 1590.00 a month. A number which represents a stark variance from prudent budgetary practices for the common American.

And even THIS number was unattainable given the purchase price, term and ancillary expenses which I listed above.

As any online mortgage calculator will tell you, given the factors I listed above (300,000 / 360 @ 7.25) with modest calculations for taxes, insurance, pmi etc etc you should arrive at a monthly payment of 2,739.

2739.00 exceeds the borrowers total monthly income by 1,149.00. so what does the bank do about that 1,1149.00 ? do they take the loss? Hell to the no. THey were never told to do that. They just tack it on to the tail end of the loan so that the poor borrowers principle goes UP every month instead of down. Commonly known as negative amortization. Thus the birth of the ""balloon mortgage" the term coined because the principle keeps growing and growing and growing until one day the whole thing just pops.

and did the democrats know this would happen? I'd expect they did if they had access to a simple calculator -- but they just didn't care. They didn't care because the common idiots marveled at their accomplishments -- Poor Americans buying their first home!!!! All the talking heads applauded as we on the right, with common fucking sense, shook our heads in horror as to what would inevitably befall the American people.

and in 2008 those chickens finally came home to roost
You responded with what I do not have time for this morning. And you did it succinctly. :good:
