old question:
credit allocation
how much
iz by
height of the rates
how much
iz by
size of the rations ?
looks like
eve's fat thumb still rules:
rations have it
over rates
and by tons
=====================================================================
stuff like thiz gives
free market worshipers fits
after all rates are the price of money
to clear credit markets need to use the rate
but fuck in reality
the credit is allocated by bankers
whim and wisdom
note thiz
in
a recent times of new york :
"One significant reason
for the Fed to keep lifting
short-term rates
cheap money
is almost as plentiful now
as it was before
the Fed started the process
six months ago."
"Although short-term interest rates
have been nudged up five times
since last June,
to 2.25 percent from 1 percent,
the cost of home mortgages
and long-term corporate financing
has actually declined."
"Rates on 10-year Treasury bonds,
which directly affect
home mortgage rates,
were near 4.13 percent on Friday.
That was lower than they were last June,
before the central bank
first raised the federal funds rate
on overnight loans between banks."
" The persistence
of low long-term rates
has kept the nation's housing market
hotter than most forecasters had expected,
and it has also made it easy
for companies to raise money
at low cost
for either expansion
or acquisitions."
translation :
rates are upping
cause the bankers
are still"in to "
serving up generous portions
so what the fuck is greeny pullin
hikin rates?
till now at least
pure
bizzy work
like the phantom
the fabled vicious
mortgage rate spike
still lurks
unseen
in the upper rigging
