A letter from a Bank I do business with.
« on: September 25, 2008, 09:46:53 AM »
Unfortunately, Current market conditions have forced us to
increase our current rates by 1.0%. Hopefully the
issues at hand nationally will be resolved and sales
will increase for our customers.

Here we go....get ready for rates to go out the roof!!!

It should have said "current situations have given us a good excuse to raise our profit on your loans and credit cards".

do you think your bank is one of the "at-risk" lenders that they are talking about?
I know one of the mortgages our group holds is with a "questionable" institution, we are waiting for the "we sold your note" letter.. which if the current proposed plans before Congress goes through -- i think a lot of people will be getting similar letters.

Kaw, you have an adjustable rate mortgage?  You talking about a home loan note?

What a lousy deal for folks: adjustable rate mortgages and anything except a defined benefit pension plan.  401K, lol.  It was all a racket to get more money into other folks' hands.  Our money at that.  Worked for many marveously.  But now chickens have come home to roost.  The big money folks are in and out.  Well, maybe not out.  We'll see.

Oh, how does privitizing social security sound now???  Who was for it from the O'Club back then?
