Wall Street: STOCK MARKET Wall Street is quick to claim any positive yield for 2016. The Big Apple that houses Americas largest financial firms has yet to give an indication of market losses. Lets move on.
Daytona had predicted a 4.44% average yield for the Stock and Bond Market.
The average Money Market yield today is approximately 0.31% to 0.50%, with 5 Year CD Rates from 1.22% to 2.68% if you really research the market.
By appearance, at this time, 1/31/2017, Mortgage Interest Rates are moving with the 10 year Treasury index.
THE GLOBAL MARKET The Global market is volatile and flat. High Yield Bonds are at about 4.5%. They are not available for everyone and there is risk. Standard Euro Bond rates of return are at about 1.0%to 2.0%.
GOVERNMENT The Federal Reserve Board Democratic Appointee Janet Yellen, Chair has continued to posture the FED in a plundering position atop America and the American people.
If the FEDs actions do not align with President Trumps plan then there will be static growth initially, dispite Trumps thrust forward, that will result in driving consumer confidence down.
This would not be beneficial to America's Productivity Growth and Job Growth, as the USA economy would continue to falter from the past administration.
A FUTURE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK Editors Viewpoint: The FED needs to step back and take a look at the future of America and the American People at this time.
The distinct difference being that in the last 8 years the FED has been moving within a Socialist perspective.
Today that has changed back to a Capitalist perspective. The current USA Depressionary economy does not need to be micro managed until it reaches a 3.0% to 3.5% Inflation Rate.
Seeminglyin addition, in Real Estate, without a First Time Home Buyer, business, companies and families are unable to grow at a rate in America.
With the First time Home Buyer in the equation Americans have the future ability to move up.
The FED crushed this emerging growth spurt by the First Time Home Buyer with Interest Rate Hikes in the last quarter of 2016.
_______________________________________
REAL ESTATE FUTURES Prime Lending Rates: America is an unstable economy at this time. This is due to the prior administration that had candidly attempted to transition America and Americans from a Capitalist Society into acute Socialism, driven by a war machine and controlling every aspect of the USA to their political and financial benefit.
In an ideal USA economic world, Homes should appreciate approximately 7.5% annually or as otherwise explained between 5% and 10% average Nationally. Within those guidelines you will always have Hot Spots that may reach 15% and Soft Spots at 0%.
A consistant 2.0% to 5.0% Average Annual Growth of Existing Home Sales and New Home Sales will spur USA productivity and in return, pay or finance, Internal Growth, of and for, the USA.
Real Estate is approximately 50% of the USA economy and is on the top of the list of benefiting all Americans, Companies and Wall Street as a secure and solid investment.
Interest Rates, at this time, can be lower because of low or negative interest rates that currently surround much of the Global Economy's and the need for low cost investment capital for the USA company's. Growth at a Rate is a good approach.

USA FIRST TIME HOME BUYER CRUSHED USA Home Sales decrease again for the Third straight month in December -2.8%.
The First Time Home Buyer boosted the Nationwide Real Estate Home Purchase market +3.2% in September. This was answered by a Fannie Mae Freddie Mac +0.25% Rate Hike on Home Loans.
In October the USA Existing Home Sales went down to +2.0% as First time Home Buyers stepped back and Mortgage Interest Rates increased another +0.25%.
In November Home Sales went down again to +0.7% as Home Loan Rates rose an additional +0.25%.
Finally Home Sales and Home Prices plummeted -2.8% from the unwarranted Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the FED Rate Hikes in the last quarter of 2016.
Home ownership "The American Dream" offers the largest asset any American or American Family has to call their own. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the two largest USA Mortgage Banks and have been under Government Conservator ship since August 2008. The Mortgage Crisis and Great Recession was announced to be over September 2009, by the then FED Chief Bernanke. Apparently he was mistaken. ______________________________________ Trump Speculation: Trumps Initial Plan: $1000.00 Earnings +280.00.

USA HOME FORECLOSURES REPORTED
Foreclosure Filings in 2016 - 515,457 Courtesy of RETVNews Foreclosure Filings in 2015 - 1,100,000 Foreclosure Filings in 2014 - 1,100,000 Courtesy of Realty Track
SPECULATION:
January 31, 2017 On the premise that the FED continues to raise the Prime Lending Rate and Mortgage Interest Rates separately or concurrently Americans can expect the Home Prices will continue to be driven down and Home Sales will slow, as happened in the 4th quarter of 2016.
The Inflation Rate for December 2016 was 2.1%, primarily due to increased production of Christmas orders. The Average Inflation Rate for October, November and December 2016 is 1.9%.
The 2016 Average Inflation Rate for the USA from January to December year end is 1.3%. This is only 3/10% above a Depression Inflation Rate level for a Top Ten Country.
