[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Experts are recommending to invest in real estate and rates will come down as the Fed will need to adjust or get fired and someone else will adjust the rates down[/quote]

I am not at all convinced the Fed is going to reduce interest rates. What is happening to the economy is not a cyclical event. It is a political choice. And these political choices are going to have profound inflationary impacts. If Powell tries to bail out Trump and the GOP for their choices that will further undermine the credibility of the United States.

And Powell is not a Trump employee. I'm not sure why you think Trump can fire and hire Fed board employees at will. If the Fed is turned over to MAGA goons you can kiss everything goodbye.

I don't think real estate will be a good investment in the aggregate. There will be some flight to safety moves, but I don't think it can overcome the cascading repercussions of the wealth effect. When people become poorer, they don't buy historically inflated houses, particularly when the cost of borrowing remains high. Looking at the effects of Trump's moves and its impact on the overall economy, I don't think there's anywhere to run. He's destroying the entire global trading and financial system that has stood for 80 years. And replacing it with nothing at all. Even gold and crypto are getting hit.  [/quote]
