Finance Expert Blasts Fed

Finance Expert Blasts Fed

According to this Business Week article, Paulson Protege Pellegrini on Bernanke's Fed: "Sheer Lunacy", Paolo Pellegrini, the Rome-born analyst who helped hedge fund operator John Paulson make billions on the subprime crash of 2007-2008, thinks the Federal Reserve's (the Fed) low interest rate and money printing policies will fail since they just cause another distortion of the market (he actually uses the term "bubble") resulting in more problems. According to the article, Pellegrini believes that the recent signs of economic growth are just the result of the massive government stimulus programs (think the original stimulus bill, the omnibus bill, cash for clunkers, expanded FHA, expanded Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, $1.25 trillion mortgage securities purchasing program, home buyer tax credit, etc.), and, as a result, the economy will decline again after the government stimulus programs end. I agree since you cannot solve a problem created by too much debt by taking on more debt. The result will be more loan defaults, foreclosures and bank failures. Real estate short sales may be the only thing that will help some banks survive.

If you are a Middle TN homeowner, property owner, condo owner, real estate investor, home builder or real estate developer who cannot pay your mortgage payments (due to losing your job, having your income reduced, illness, health problems, adverse business conditions, slow sales, loss of investment property tenants, vacancy issues, lack of funds to complete the project, feuding business partners, etc.), know that you will not be able to pay your mortgage, have defaulted on your mortgage, are already in foreclosure, or owe more than your home is worth, please contact me to discuss your options including a loan modification and a short sale (a real estate short sale occurs when the sale proceeds are not sufficient to pay off all the mortgages and liens on the property/home).
