Ex-loan officer here. Rudy got the real estate exactly right. It's so difficult to actually make money on the sales end unless you're working for a large firm with a bunch of assistants because everyone's losing to cash offers. It's not worth it to get into the industry unless you're good at being a realtor. Buying real estate is worth it (and there won't be a bubble, contrary to popular belief), but financing a home is ridiculously expensive now.

[@MM-nd9ur]

That means when Fed rate goes up for banks, the line of credit for Wall Street will also go up. Next, Wall Street will run into liquidity issue with cash flow that they are force to sell like margin call. That sounds like banks and regular folks in 2008 except it’s now Wall Street needs bailout. No wonder Fed is not raising interest rate. Sheesh.

[@cloudyskiesnow]

Wall Street always needs the bailout, just like in 2008. They're gambling with other people's money and they're always "too big to fail."

[@tragicslip]

This is why rates don't go up even with inflation. If you raise rates you also lose government taxes as economic activity collapses. Real estate property tax generally lags inflation (government property assessment is slow) so banks will lend at lower rates to wall street knowing the equity they hold has favorable tax treatment.

[@ricardoblikman2676]

Here is my hypothesis based on the Netherlands: I was one of the first on the scene, most mtg players where people from the university math students, physics, software engineering. It where a bunch of nerds 90% and people who wanted to do rip trades and sell cards. After fallen empires / chronicles / 4th / Ice age the game exploded and you could buy it everywhere and more different people came into the game. Now the original players now all have masters and Phd's and are wealthy and want those cards, these people are the core of the value of older cards and they are the ones that can afford them. If you backtrack production runs there where never enough pre revised cards printed to satisfy that old school 1st day players and they have the money for it.
