Home Value less than your mortgage balance? There is HOPE.

Posted by RBianchi on November 11th, 2008

If you, or someone you care about, are struggling with monthly payments for a home that is now worth far less than what you owe, then the new government program HOPE may be a solution for you. This program uses the current value of your home. How? A mortgage professional would order an appraisal on your current home. This appraisal is used to renegotiate the amount of money you currently owe (current mortgage balance). Just by examining your current payments and estimating the monthly payments from a reduced mortgage can tell you if HOPE is beneficial …

Rate Cuts

Posted by Dawn Famiglietti on November 11th, 2008

Friday’s Jobs Report was brutal and would typically nudge the Fed to cut their benchmark rates in an effort to spur on the economy. But with the Fed Funds Rate already at 1%, the Fed doesn’t have much more room to cut. This means that Stocks, which worsen on poor economic news, will likely continue to struggle as a result.

Speaking of rate cuts, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and a few other countries central banks all lowered interest rates last week to help their economies. The good news is that these cuts should have a positive effect …

So are CD’s still Safe?

Posted by Dawn Famiglietti on October 14th, 2008

In all significant market drops over the past 20 years, CDs have been the single most likely place for investors to feel safe. This time feels no different…but it is! Why? Because the stock market is not the problem this time, it is merely the symptom of a much larger banking problem. So, buying CDs is more like running into the burning building to avoid the smoke in the street. Yes, they are “guaranteed” to certain limits by the FDIC. However, the FDIC is not stronger than the U.S. Government, so short-term U.S. Treasuries, …
