balancing act

After a 2 year tightening cycle and 17 straight rate increases, the Fed has finally decided to pause. What do you think the Fed will do next?
Will the Fed pause again at their next meeting, or do you believe this is only a temporary reprieve? Or conversely, do you think it's possible the Fed could lower rates next time?
And most importantly, what do you think the Fed should do? What is in the best interest of the U.S. economy?
Also, will there be any real impact from the pause in the tightening cycle?

Lastly, what do you think the Fed's ultimate agenda is? Are they going to try to prop up housing to "save us" from a recession? Or do you think they will try to funnel U.S. $$ into something else, like the stock market?

So you guys like small caps, I was worried that I had made a mistake, the price of the fund I have has been tanking and I was considering cutting my losses and reducing the percentage I gave it in the portfolio, unfortunately it's in a 401k plan and I don't get much choice about which funds I can pick. Also I read in a Money magazine that traders were getting out of small caps - although that was a few months ago now. They seem to give a big weighting to large caps, but I'm not so sure. What do you think about mid-caps?

Let’s be honest here, how long does it take going shopping (no, not Walmart) to go through say 2/300 bucks?

Not long enough.

When it comes to excess, how much worse is a casual gambling habit (bet’s on the 49′ers) than a CHRONIC shopping condition?

Shopping and gambling are all morally neutral bu themselves. The problem lies in the word "excess".

For me, food can be very expensive too. If I move to vegas, I will probably go broke without gambling. :)

I have been trying to consider who would fair better in a downturn, small cap versus midcap - i.e companies going bankrupt, I guess I'll know when it happens, luckily I don't have much money in the game at the minute, hopefully by the time I do, I'll be more savvy.

Strawberry is East of 101, the little Peninsula between Seminary Dr and Blithedale Ave/Tiburon Blvd. The McMansions are located in the new development up the hill or out on the point next to the water.

Is this legal?

$900000 CASH OUT RIGHT AFTER YOU PURCHASE! BUY AND REFI, WALK AWAY WITH CASH!

You can try that, but if you walk away, you'll be on the hook for the $900K. The bankruptcy law will enforce it unless you spent it on consumables.

but this certainly is:


We can use your old appraisal, or have it reappraised for a higher amount to get more cash out!
