Bankruptcy and Governments

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

We’ve often heard of individuals and businesses going insolvent. But even governments can declare  bankruptcy . However, this is very rarely done as this would have extremely deleterious effects on investments and investor confidence in a country. In past eras, it had been done quite often.

Today, it still remains an option, though not something that is ever thought palatable in the least.

Why you need out of that ARM!

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

 Here's what the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke said a few days ago "Some 2 million homeowners are due to have their adjustable rate mortgages, or ARMS, reset over the next year and risk losing their homes."

Can you rest assured the Administration will enact legislation that will freeze rates for the next 5 years which is what Hillary Clinton proposes amongst other things to avert the current fiscal crisis in the US?

No? And that's why you need to refinance your adjustable rate mortgage 

Well then, you need to call your banker right now and find out what your options are.

And if he won't or can't help you, you need to find another lender who is willing to refinance your adjustable rate mortgage and get you in to a fixed rate mortgage with a rate locked for the next 30 years.  Since rates are as low as they have been in the last two years, this is likely a good deal for you.

Don't waste any more time. 

Get on the phone.

Now!
