Easiest way to make money. Over 9 million households pay 50% of their income towards mortgage and rent. This is EASY money for banks.

So like I said, it doesn't matter what the articles say. I'll get validated by their actions. It's almost time.
I've never heard of a bank writing a mortgage where mortgage + taxes + insurance was 50% of someone's gross pay. They couldn't possibly bundle it up and sell it on the secondary market through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

A bank doesn't hold a gun to your head and insist you buy a car you can't afford, or max out your credit cards, or take out a mortgage on a home at the top of the real estate market when you have shaky employment.

I can make up stuff, too. Over 9 million people are too stupid to post on message boards but do so anyways.

My investment portfolio is back to where it was a month ago. With the juiced economy, it's pretty unlikely that the top of the stock market for 2018 was in January. That doesn't mean there isn't another Great Recession or worse coming eventually but the global economy is growing in 2018.

You're probably right, but it was the top at the time.

Regarding households, it's actually 19 million paying 50% or more.

39 million households are paying more for housing than they can afford - Jun. 16, 2017

Let’s not get out of line with the reality of it all. You’ve made calls over and over and over again over the course of many years and finally catch one and now you are running around spouting off that you called it? Get real. If I say every morning I believe the market it going to be up today and I repeat it everyday I’m going to be right, a lot.

You know, you're not a bad dude at all. In the future, I will consider your comments.

I was actually surprised it took this long for someone to say anything given the fact that you were right, I didn't read any of the articles.

You never fail to disappoint and I feel like that's a positive service your provide for this forum. This post was more for entertainment purposes than anything, although it's true that I feel like I will be validated by the banker's behavior.

Check out how many times Citadel has been cited for "wash trading." That's how they make money. Look at the fines they pay. BFD, right? I just don't trust bankers. In fact, I don't think wash trading is even against the law anymore. I believe they call it "self-trading" now. They did a lot of that before the crash of 1929.

If you noticed, I just received my first gold star, so I am excelling in my ability to keep people entertained.
