Jamie Dimon hints that he’ll run for office when he’s done with JPMorgan : ‘I’ll serve my country in one capacity or another’
@nickgerli1 Wall Street Investors have officially abandoned the Housing Market.With Redfin reporting a colossal 49% crash in investor purchases in Q1 2023.This is the biggest annual decline on record. Even bigger than the drop that occurred in 2005 right before the last crash.
@nickgerli1 9) Also important to remember that a drop in investor purchases is historically a "leading indicator" for the Housing Market.In the last bubble investor buying peaked in mid-2005.A good THREE YEARS before we saw substantial price declines.
Investor Home Purchases Fell a Record 49% Year Over Year in the First Quarter
U.S. banks sink on concerns about office real estate loansMay 31 (Reuters) - Shares of U.S. banks, both major and mid-sized, sharply underperformed the broader market on Wednesday with the S&P 500 Banks Index (.SPXBK) down 2.0% while the benchmark S&P 500's (.SPXBK) fell 0.5% with worries about commercial real estate loans in focus among bank investors.Investors worried about potential losses among banks from office real estate loans after comments from executives, including Wells Fargo & Co's (WFC.N) Chief Executive Officer Charlie Scharf and Blackstone President Jonathan Gray at a Sanford C Bernstein investor conference.Wells Fargo's Scharf said on Wednesday that there will be losses in the office loan space and that the bank was proactively managing its portfolio while he looked to reassure investors that the company is not "overly concentrated" in that space.Meanwhile, Blackstone's Gray talked about "unprecedented weakness" in older office buildings while noting that this segment currently makes up less than 2% of company's equity portfolio in real estate."Vacancy is 20-plus percent, rents are declining, companies now are obviously thinking about their space needs in light of remote work and the economic climate that's ahead. Lenders are reluctant to have exposure to office buildings. Buyers are reluctant. Valuations are going down," Gray said, according to a transcript from the Bernstein conference.Rick Meckler, partner, Cherry Lane Investments, a family investment office in New Vernon, New Jersey said "continued concern over loans made to the office market," was hurting bank stocks broadly on Wednesday, citing the Wells Fargo comments."The implication is that there are those that will suffer even if Wells Fargo is diversified enough," Meckler said.Citigroup (C.N) , JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N), Morgan Stanley (MS.N), Goldman Sachs (GS.N) down more than 1% while Bank of America (BAC.N) was down more than 2% and Wells Fargo (WFC.N) dropped more than 3%.Regional lenders Citizens Financial (CFG.N), Western Alliance Bancorp (WAL.N), PacWest Bancorp (PACW.O), Comerica (CMA.N), KeyCorp (KEY.N), PNC Financial Services (PNC.N), Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB.O) and Zions (ZION.O) were falling more than bigger lenders.KeyCorp, down 5.5%, was the biggest decliner in the S&P bank index, and Zions was next, down 4.9%.Also on Wednesday, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced that U.S. banks saw total deposits decline by a record 2.5% in the first quarter of 2023.Sending the broader market down also was an upcoming vote by lawmakers on a deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling. Also unexpectedly strong labor market data reinforced bets for more Federal Reserve interest rate hikes.
'You Should Be Extremely Worried': Jim Rogers Warns That The Next Bear Market Will Be The 'Worst In His Lifetime,' Suggests A Bigger Crash Than 2008. Here's What He Owns NowStocks have climbed in 2023 after suffering through a bear market in 2022. But according to legendary investor Jim Rogers, the next downturn could be more painful.In a recent interview with Real Vision, Rogers explained why his outlook is so bleak.“[In] 2008, we had a bear market because of too much debt,” he said. “Look out the window since 2008, debt everywhere has skyrocketed.”And that does not bode well for investors.“It’s a simple statement that the next bear market will be the worst in my lifetime because the debt has gone up by such staggering amounts in the past 14 years.”Rogers has plenty of experience in leveraging market volatility to his advantage. He co-founded the Quantum Group of Funds with George Soros in 1973 and played a crucial role in navigating the fund through multiple market downturns and economic crises in the 1970s and 1980s.(...)
https://www.axios.com/2023/05/31/fhfa-home-prices-index-chartCitarThe COVID home price boom isn't going bustThe pandemic's home price boom shows no signs of turning to bust.The big picture: Fresh housing data out Tuesday showed that prices for houses are stabilizing, pretty much around the elevated levels where they've been for the last year and a half.State of play: The national house price index produced monthly by the Federal Housing Finance Agency shows prices were up 0.6% in April, compared with the prior month. And they're 3.7% higher than a year ago.*Separately, the S&P Case-Shiller monthly index of home prices in 20 large cities showed a slight decline (1.1%) compared with last year.

There aren't that many homes on the market, and that's keeping prices from actually falling much.The bottom line: The housing market seems to have sunk into a kind of high-price, low-sales stasis.

Por el momento, como bien han dicho varios foreros, se ha convertido en un pequeño y escondido think-tank en medio del ciberocéano.Agrego: excelentes los análisis e interpretaciones postelectorales de estos últimos días, creo que sólo son posibles en el marco teórico que ha ido cuajando un poco a las bravas en este espacio.
