That again is what I said.

What the Fed is doing is creating dollars out of thin air. And in the end that is inflationary. An inflationary trend will generally yield higher interest rates. And the fed may very well impose higher rates if it believes it is getting too much inflation. But that would indicate a very different economy than what we have.

Let me see if I'm following you-

Here, you think an interest rate increase is very likely over the "next months".

So, by extrapolation you're suggesting that we will have a very different economy over the "next months".

How many is "next months"? 3? 12? 60? Am I getting close?

More than 2 less than 100

Read it again. This time for content. It is quite consistent. You just don't deal well with language. Perhaps English is your second language?

Yes, quite consistent - the consistency of manure, like most of your declarations.

Rates are likely to go up!

It will take a very different economy than what we have for rates to go up!

Where'd I put my bottle?

As I said...it was written in English...not your thing...

Ohhh and rates are certain to go up...

Yes, but I heard from a very good source that it will require a very different economy than what we have. Which is likely to occur in more than 2 months, but less than 100 months.

Now, where's that bottle?

English is a confusing language. Too bad you have not learned to deal with it.

I will admit your gibberish has a certain air to it. Putrification?

Only when spoken by confused people. You reign supreme in that regard.

Maybe it's time to leave the interest rate discussions for others and concentrate on getting another listing? Or maybe closing your condo short sale in advance of its two year anniversary?

Well I am glad you asked. The condo will likely close shortly. Buyer has been in place over a year. Seller is US military and does not need a foreclosure on his credit report. And it may well fly...both borrowers are happy and have agreed. Now if we can get the last lien from the G## D##### HOA to cooperate we may actually close it.

I may buy a bottle of Champagne on this one. That will consume the entire commission. But every once in a while you actually do the really hard...and this was one of those.

But this is not your thing Tony. Never was any money in it. Just get a serviceman out of a tight spot because a mutual friend requested it. I know you would never do such a thing.

I will publish a message or thread when it closes...

Your generosity knows no bounds.

I'm sure I speak for the entire forum when I tell you we're all atingle with anticipation.
