THE NOVEMBER RATE HIKE:
There is no rate hike for the month of November. Just few days ago, Jerome Powell stated that “Financial conditions have tightened significantly in recent months…we remain attentive to these developments because persistent changes in financial conditions can have implications for the path of monetary policy." The Federal Reserve has also admitted that “We know that we’re on an unsustainable path fiscally.”
Jerome Powell continued to reiterate that they’re taking a “wait-and-see” approach to upcoming rate hikes and they’ll prepared to adjust as needed in the future. It’s also worth noting that there’s a “lag effect” to raising interest rates, where the full effect won’t be truly felt for 6-18 months after the final rate hike; the AVERAGE delay is 11 months.
THE STOCK MARKET:
Here in the United States, we typically have this belief that - over the long term - stocks go higher. It’s shown that a 20-year holding period has never ONCE lost money. Statistically, this has proven to be true going back all the way to 1872 - but, there is a hidden risk: Throughout most of the world, there have been a variety of instances where the stock market has LOST money over a 20-year period.
According to MarketSentiment, since 1890 - once you add inflation to the mix - there’s a 1.2% chance of losing buying power over a 30-year horizon. However, this doesn’t account for the fact that we only have 130 years' worth of data to pick from, and the United States could be suffering from survivorship bias, where we only see the data because it’s worked. Once we zoom out into other global markets, according to this report, there is a 9% chance that a Japan-like event could happen here, in the United States, at some point in the future.
THE HOUSING MARKET:
As of last week, mortgage rates hit the 8% mark, which is a level that we haven’t seen since 2000. This means that monthly payments are now 70% HIGHER than they were just two years ago, when mortgage rates were 3%. This combination has NOW led to 99% of the United States being “unaffordable” for the Average American who makes $71,000 per year - and this price-to-income ratio is now the worst its been since 1984.
In terms of where this could go in the next year, Zillow believes that home prices will see another 2.1% increase through September of 2024. In addition to that, Morgan Stanley revised their forecast and now believes that home prices could rise another 5% year-over-year given how many sellers are reluctant to let go of their existing mortgage.
A managing director at Goldman Sachs also went on record to say that, “Absent any negative shocks to the broader economy that would either boost the excess supply of homes on the market or fuel an uptick in unemployment, we continue to expect home prices to rise at a slow pace,” with his estimate that we’ll see a 3.5% increase by the end of 2024.
Because of that, I think it’s more important than ever to keep your expenses low, save as much as you can, ensure that you have the means to keep a steady income throughout the next 1-2 years - and no matter what...subscribe if you haven’t done that already ;)

In the USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.

The process of lower & raising rates is part of the reason we are in this mess in the first place and it vicious cycle to keep repeating. Interest rates should have always stayed somewhat high so inflation aka price gouging didn't hit us as hard. The minimum wage should be like $20 right now if it kept up with the rate of production in our economy. It's only going to get worse from here.

[@livinglife1089]

We are in this mess because of the trillions of dollars this administration dumped into the economy and the attack on the fossil fuel industry raising rates is the only way to curb inflation. You are correct about rates being too low for to long under Obama, it also contributed. Also there shouldn’t be a minimum wage, it only drives up the cost of goods

[@josephmoya5098]

Inflation sint price gouging. It is a telfe tion of the monetary supply and the availability of capital. No one charges higher prices for increased profit long term unless their is demand to do som and that demand has been created by flushing the economy with cash. This both comes from free checks to individuals from the government, as well grants and cheap loans to mega corps. It isn't greed that has driven inflation. It is the belief that money is what the economy really is, instead of the goods produced and traded within it.

Certainly better than get 0.10 cents in a normal savings account. But purchasing bonds vs stocks to me is more about your time horizon and the fact many stocks pay back dividends and have growth overtime. A 5 percent appreciate is stuck at that with no reinvestment of dividends and no potential for any more appreciation with a bond. Nothing wrong with stocks or bonds in most cases if you do your own research and dont go in blind. I think both are valuable, its a a matter of how much risk you feel like taking or not too.

For all my military people, if you want to buy a house, you can use your VA loan and look for people selling their current loan. For example, I bought my current house in 2020 with a 2.3% rate, I can sell my house and let someone else using the VA loan assume my rate. The only catch is, you have to have the cash to pay back the sellers equity. It's a good deal though, I know several people who have bought and sold using this method to get out of these ridiculous interest rates.

alot of people are spending cause they cant afford to save everything is to expensive and honestly i wouldnt be supprised if more then 50% of americans become homeless soon or start starving before someone truly takes action and gets this under control

[@AlphaWolfun]

the only thing holding up the market is tech. Nobody wants to get left behind and if you aren't trying to learn to catch up or surpass the times then you are likely the one this is a dire warning for.

[@andretigiovaneti7587]

Not cancelled at all . The rate stays high, not coming down so it is still coming if not already here disguised in normality. Home prices won't go up any higher.

My retirement account has gone sideways since December 2021. It was just starting to increase again in May, June, and July and then we got hit with the bleeding of August, September, October. I'm pouring money into the damn account and its been two years and the value is barely any higher. I need a long, long rally, not a freaking market crash. And millions of other Americans do too.

[@jeffrucks4477]

Just keep buying good stuff,eventually it will work out.

[@jeffrucks4477]

Also try adding some things that pay dividends.

[@shyonemami7388]

There are no new houses in Los Angeles, no empty lots.

[@rubenjosh1989]

Can you make a video about banks and credit unions that would help a lot of people they’re trying to build their credit

[@javierarce86]

Could it be because prices got goods have multiplied? Making it seem like we're spending more, because we are, but not getting more.

[@cesar.hcr.55]

Simply continued and increasing printing of money will increase inflation.

[@alexbernstein1450]

Grahm do you think the excessive government spending is a factor in the gdp growth?

[@JungleBook805]

What about personal debt, credit card debt, auto loan debt, and school debt being at an all-time high? How does this contribute to all of this? What about auto and credit card loans defaulting at an all-time high and what this means?

[@Lochy657]

Wow! Great vid man!

[@GrahamStephan]

Thanks!!

I'm looking at the housing market like a sports team thats very clearly at the end of their contention window: time for a rebuild. Let's absolutely tank for a few years and get some draft picks built up.
