Ever study the fishing industry? It's full of men who understand the tides, weather and the tiny minds of FISH, men who lower hooks, nets and traps every hour of the day. The famous CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, now JP. MORGAN CHASE is very like those fishermen only our lives are their SEA and EVERY TWENTY YEARS or so the ROCKFELLERS look out at their ocean, see all their boats and say, 'time for harvest.' How they harvest is they pull in their hooks, nets and lobster traps everywhere at once. THEY RAISE INTEREST rates SHARPLY. With any excuse. Any headline will appear to be a logical reason to justify it. They have their captain Bernanke or Greenspan to set the tides just right at the same moment that home prices soar and whammy. They redistribute the planet's wealth. Only it lands in their pockets. The best fishermen have the best tricks. One of the Rocks' tricks is to get a docile Captain Greenspan or Bernanke ---to give a nice rise and fall tidal movement to the surface of the water, to interest rates. Get a Nice rhythm or pulse there, Smooth low, smooth middle, but no peaks, just keep it medium, get people all relaxed. Now the ROCKS sit way on the side like cats of prey waiting for real estate to rise up into a BUBBLE: REALLY HIGH HOME cOSTS and they use this moment to relax interest rates. From the fish's point of view, the perfect opportunity for home ownership appears! High price and maybe getting higher it would appear and these glistening, low rates. From a fish's underwater position, this combination is appetite enhancing & works, every time. It gets all the fish everywhere to STRIKE at the BAIT! NIBBLE at those banks, and they get accepted! They can't believe it. They've got the bait in their mouth, they got the loans, they now Swallow the loan. THe idiots have all bitten down on this big fat posh home even though real estate prices are at this all time furious HIGH! Low rates make it look like cheap rent!
Fisherman sees he's got a lot of hookups, there are FISH on every gangion hook, in the traps, in the nets, by the trillion, All who bought with variable interest rates. THE FISHERMEN MAKE their MOVE! JERK THOSE NETS pull UP the lines, the traps. they ARE all FULL OF HOUSE-HUNGRY FAMILIES gasping for air as they were asleep, LYING AROUND KISSING THEIR WHITE WALL TO WALL CARPETS only they're all evicted. They lie flopping on the pier, suffocating, homeless screaming bloody murder. only fish can't scream. Of course the allegory doesn't hold because not ALL THE BIGGER FISH suffocate. THEY ARE THE BANKS and they were caught TOO. Oh yes, the BANKS are simply thought of as FISH ALSO and the banks FLOP the worst of all. "HOW COULD we HAVE BEEN SO DUMB?. Most all of them asphyxiate right there. but The ROCKS quickly wade out in this melee of flopping fishes & SELECT the rare species, the pleasing banks that appetize them, I'd pick that green LING COD, BARN DOOR HALIBUTS, EVERY KIND OF BASS. To the Rocks, some of the banks are like bonbons in a candy store. WAMU is a real peach. CUTE ads, free checking, GADZILLIONS of depositors. People adore it. Let's take that one!
They retrieve these few prime floppers and throw them some water so they can breathe and now they take these pretty fish home and create AN AQUARIUM around their catch which is LEFT ALIVE.
The style of bank fishing changes from decade to decade. Cuz if you kept doing the same stroke, obviously even the dumbest of fish would figure it out. Think back to THE S&LS which pulled in all the ARAB OIL money, the petrodollars back in the 70's & 80s. Of course they were AMERICAN DOLLARS as we'd bought the oil, but now they were Arab Dinars.
The ROCKS cast their nets out into SAUDI ARABIA, and all the little oil sheiks bit. The nets came in full. Then the ROCKS & a lot of TEXANS and COLORADANS who were all chums, the sons of the super rich FLOPPED THE BANKS OVER, and JUST blindly STOLE those petrodollars. When only l00k is insured and HAMID had fifty million or two billion in there, SOREEEEEEE doesn't mean much. The Juniors crashed the S&LS all deposits vaporized while the Arabs stared in horror. Please, Mr Oilman. This little BANK we told you about, we had no control you understand, it somehow WENT BROKE! Saudis are one generation from being nomads, like oil rich INDIANS. http://home.earthlink.net/~astrology/arab.html but they decided to do one thing, CREATE OPEC and get their blood back. Only this time it came out of OUR HIDES.
So watch for gentle tides, sweet weather, low interest rates coinciding with VERY HIGH HOUSING PRICES. DOn't be tempted to put your little boat out on the sea of home owning, in a little leaky boat patched together with variable rates cuz There are ROCKS OUT THERE! http://www.masterjules.net/fisheatfish.htm

People who study the tides cannot predict tsunamis. People who monitor seismographs might, but the people who are close enough to the shore to notice that the water level is extraordinarily low should have the sense to refrain from gathering up beached fish and immediately head for high ground.

Or at least change it from time to time. As if we needed further proof that it does strange things to the brain :)

There you go! I’m with you. A down payment and fixed mortgages are the only way to go. Too bad everyone didn’t do it.
