Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the recession, I shall fear no Gary Shilling.

Inflation Drops, NAR Gets Popped & Racks and Bibles

October is in and it appears to have moderated, cooling measurably more than anticipated. Consumer prices rose 3.2 percent in the year through October, decelerating from the previous month and showing encouraging signs under the surface, but is it enough to keep Jerome Powell and The Fed data dependent and focused on the potential for future rate cuts? Saied, Chris and Haroon breakdown what they think "higher for longer" may mean and what you should actually expect. Walmart CEO says "deflation

2023/11/21

Welcome back to the number one financial literacy podcast in the world! It's The Higher Standard podcast. This episode Chris, Saied and Haroon continue to breakdown why they think we are likely already in a recession and the overwhelming likelihood that a "soft landing" was never actually possible. Owning a home has gotten way too unaffordable and despite the rhetoric from too many real estate economists, the boys think we have a long adjustment period in front of us. Lastly, there appears to be

This show, like Saied's jumper 15 years ago is "moist." The boys start off acknowledging there is a noticeable hum in Haroon's microphone. We apologize for the technical glitch. Jerome Powell finally proves he is about that life. Sadly, Chris, Saied and Haroon are horrified at one of their favorite economists selling out in the most hypocritical way possible.

The Fed Leaves Rates Unchanged, Stickier Inflation &...

The Higher Standard ·

2023/11/07

The boys called it, The Fed has left rates unchanged. Granted, it wasn't that hard of a call as all the data seemed to suggest that was the overwhelming likely result. Yet, somehow Jamie Dimon came out sounding hawkish after Jerome Powell came out dovish. Adjustable-rate mortgage demand jumps nearly 10% and Wells Fargo is now warning of a 1980s style recession. Confused, don't be. Saied, Chris and Haroon are here to break it all down and make sense out of all this chaos. All facts, no cap.

GDP, Economists, Consumption & Rates Cuts

The Higher Standard ·

2023/10/31

U.S. GDP grew at a 4.9% annual pace in the third quarter, better than expected, but Chris, Saied and Haroon aren't convinced this is a good thing. They look back at previous recessions and some of the GDP trending before and after declaration to try and determine if the newest GDP print really has any meaning. Mohammaed El-Erian seems to share many of the same fears regarding the impact of rates on the economy and is apparently equally as skeptical of the GDP print. Jamie Dimon then rips central

Your favorite bank CEO, Brian Moynihan is back at it again with a full on contradiction from just a year ago. Chris, Saied and Haroon waste no time calling him to the carpet. Not to be outdone, Peter Schiff pointed out that Bank of America has unrealized losses of approximately $47.8 billion dollars. The boys get in to home sales data which indicate that 2023 may be the slowest year since The Great Recession. Not helping things is the 10-year treasury which just moved above 5.00% for the first time

Spoiler alert, it's cheaper to rent than it is to buy in many markets and Chris, Saied and Haroon are here to break it all down. They use the Austin market, which was a major growth market during the pandemic, as a prime example of the stress that may be forcing rental rates further down. They take a break to celebrate some of the nation's top colleges eliminating student loans entirely, but then get back to the apartment market by citing Miami's downward rental trends.

Redfin can't cut ties will the National Association of Realtors ("NAR") because they have a monopoly over the Multiple Listing Service or "MLS." The MLS is a database established by cooperating real estate brokers to provide data about properties for sale and it is under the sole dominion and control of NAR. The MLS allows Realtors to see one another's listings of properties for sale with the goal of connecting homebuyers to sellers. There is only one problem, you have to belong to NAR to have

The Fed Holds, Housing Peaks & Saied Fisting

In a spectacular display of machismo, Saied gives Chris not one, but three separate fist pounds during this sensational episode. Maybe Saied was just happy that the Federal Reserve left rates unchanged? Maybe it was the Fed's terrible track record of forecasting what the economy is likely to do? I guess we will never know, but what you will know for sure after this show is that we may be in the biggest housing bubble ever, Zillow shifted their 2024 home price forecast down and 30-year mortgage
