Mrotgouge Applications Fall as Interest Rates Jump

 

U.S. mrotgouge applications fell last week to the lowest level since February as a jump in borrowing costs discouraged reamfinancing and signaled that Federal Reamserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke’s desperate efforts to cap rates is failing.

 

The Mrotgouge Banksters ASSociation’s index of applications to purchase or reamfinance a crapbox dropped 7.2 percent to 611 in the week ended June 5, from 658.7 the prior week. The reamfinancing gouge fell 12 percent.

 

Fixed U.S. mrotgouge rates jumped to the highest level this year last week, threatening to deepen the crapbox slump and sideline prospective first time reamtail suckerbuyers.

SACRAMENTO (CBS 5 / KCBS / AP) ―

 

California imposed a 90-day moratorium on housing foreclosures under a new law that took effect Monday.

 

The law is expected to make lenders try harder to keep borrowers in their homes.

 

Loan companies must prove they tried to modify the delinquent loans before they can begin foreclosing.

 

If the bank does not renegotiate, the home owner still has 90 days until the bank can take the house.

 

That warning period, supporters of the law contend, will grant at least some people having trouble with a mortgage the opportunity to come up with other options on their own.

 

Supporters acknowledge the California Foreclosure Prevention Act won't stop thousands of foreclosures from eventually happening, but noted it was an important step towards a systematic review of delinquent home loans.

 

prolong the correction as long as possible.

I just came across this article at Safehaven.com. For almost a couple of years, I was a member of this site that the author, Joseph Russo, is referring. The site no longer exists but only as a memorial, as the the creator, SPWAVER A.K.A. Dom, passed away last fall. I have a 5oz. silver medallion, one of many that Dom had minted at the Northwest Territorial Mint that bore the website's emblem. It sits on my desk as a reminder of Dom, but also as inspiration when trading these markets gets to be wearisome and treachorous. Actually, today, when the market went into its sideways sleeping pattern, I had picked it up and handled it for a moment. Anyway, whether you knew him or not, this is an interesting article.

"California is ground zero for foreclosures. We're getting about 80 to 90,000 foreclosure filings every month. That's one every 30 seconds, so until we start mitigating the number of foreclosures, our economic recovery is going to be hampered," said Assemblyman Ted Lieu, the Torrance Democrat who authored the bill.

 

Meanwhile, the moaners get another 90 days free of staying in a home they cannot pay for and do not deserve, artificially propping up prices, and preventing the proper discovery of prices.

 

The fact is the state cannot afford lower prices, period, because there will be even less tax revenue.

 

This state is completely and utterly scroomed.

some notes on UNG:

 

At issue currently is the rampant growth of the UNG, the natural gas positions of which have doubled since last month’s roll. This growth, by the way, is eerily similar to that experienced by the ETF’s sister fund, the USO, earlier this year - the background to which you can read about here.

 

In the UNG’s case, however, the growth has been so large that in order to avoid a regulatory clampdown on its futures positions the fund managers have been forced into the world of over-the-counter swaps. Accordingly, the fund’s swap positions are now 2.6 times larger than its future ones.

 

To give some perspective, if the fund was to put all that money into the futures market, Jakob calculates it would be equal to occupying 78 per cent of open interest in the July Nymex contract. Meanwhile, the holding of large swap positions goes against the fund’s mandate as outlined in its prospectus.

ETF's and ETN"s are a cancer. Some worse than others. The bigger they are the worse they are. I use the damn things but am not proud. Commodity ones are derivatives of derivatives and serve no possible economic function, except in the fervid dreams of the middle men. The exchanges and the brokers.

Read analysis of that CA foreclosure moratorium that suggests it largely replicates at the state level some requirements already in place at the Federal level, and that as a result, all the servicers/lenders are already in compliance and that therefore the foreclosures will continue apace with little if any interruption.

Obama's plan would create a council of regulators responsible for broad coordination across the financial system. Administration officials said it also would offer a stronger framework for investor protection. Industry officials expect the administration to propose a consumer protection entity to oversee products ranging from credit cards to annuities.
