• Fed Stands Fast on Rate; Little Solace for Homeowners
  
  It wasn’t long after Ben Bernanke took over the reins of the Federal Reserve from Alan Greenspan that he put a halt to the 17 consecutive upward adjustments in the federal funds rate (FFR) — the short-term interest rate banks charge each other — back in August 2006. Although this bodes well for consumer loans, home equity lines of credit, and credit cards, it does little to alleviate the long-term effects starting to be felt by homeowners who signed on to very risky adjustable-rate subprime mortgages during 2005 and 2006. On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to keep its hands-off stance, leaving the FFR at 5.25

In July 2006, the ABX index began with a value of 100, but it soon fell to 60 and Paulson’s profits began to pile up. And things are looking even better in 2008 for the doomsday trading titan as real estate prices tumble and foreclosures spread like wildfires. You may not know who John Paulson is, but you soon will.

  Delivering the results of his research as part of an economists’ panel on the last day of California Realtor Expo 2006 in Long Beach last week, Christopher Cagan, Ph.D., Director of Research and Analytics for First American Real Estate Solutions, said that even with $1 trillion of adjustable-rate mortgages ready to reset to higher interest rates in both 2007 and 2008, he believes the number of defaults and foreclosures resulting from the increased mortgage payments will be “painful but won’t break the economy or the market.” Basing his comments on data collected on first mortgages
