As many of you might already know..Fed has cut the interest rate another .75%
This will be benefit those who are looking for refinance again.
As for us, we are into saving money...so the rate for CD saving has drop down as well.
Something to thank God about is that we just opened two more CD saving accounts with a good rate
a week before the Fed announced the rate cut.  |

จะบอกว่าเมื่อวานนี้ รัฐบาลได้ลดดอกเบี้ยลงอีกครึ่งเปอร์เซนต์
เป็นโอกาศดีของผู้ที่จะกู้ยืมใหม่แล้ว
ขอบคุณพระเจ้าสำหรับดอกเบี้ยที่ต่ำทำให้เราได้ประหยัดค่าบ้านเป็นอย่างมาก
แต่นี่ก็เป็นสัญญานเตือนภัยอีกครั้งหนึ่งว่าเศษฐกิจกำลังจะแย่ลง
เหมือนในพระคัมภีร์ที่โยเซฟทำนายฝันของฟาโรท์ว่าแผ่นดินจะสมบูรณ์เจ็ดปี
และหลังจากนั้นก็จะแห้งแล้ง ฟาโรท์จึงแต่งตั้งโยเซฟขึ้นเป็นผู้บัญชาการ
ในการสะสมอาหารเมื่อยังมีโอกาสอยู่นั้น
เราสามารถนำพระคัมภีร์มาใช้ในทางปฎิบัติได้อย่างไร? |

For saving, we use WAMU.
The rate we locked in was 5.10% CD/8month term.
That was just a week before it fell.
Right now is around 2-2.85%.  |

Petch,
Just FYI. Fed rate is NOT directly affected fixed rate refi, but it does for ARM. The fixed rates mortgage is still decided by the market... that's why you won't see .75 dropped in 30-yr fixed (6.5apr for 30-fixed, and 7.3 for 30-jumbo-fixed) But we did see ARM dropped .75 right away. _________________ God answer prayers in 3 ways:

Guess what the house my dad has an eye for last couple years ago. It locates just next to the park, large lot, worth about 800k before. His offer was 710K but it got sold at 740k to other people. Now the bank repo it back and asking price now is 599k!!!
He was praying for this house quite a long time until he got sick. Now I know why God did not grant him in the beginning.  |

Online CD has a higher rate than traditional CD.
What lack of online CD is that you can not move more money into the
account once you open it. Unlike the traditional CD you can double your
saving anytime with the same log-in rate.
I like the traditional CD more because it is more flexible.
I can plan ahead in case the rate is droping.
ONce the CD is matual I just transfer them to my existing CD
that has a higher interest rate account.
But to be frankly, now the saving rate is not keeping up with the rate of inflation.
Dollar get weaker and economy is getting worst.
What that mean is you lose more money when it sit in the bank!!!
The question is how to invest wisely. Share some if you have a good tips.
Recall the parabel of master and the three servants in the bible? |

Gold is already above $1,000/oz. It is at its high right now.
Historic has shown that once the economy recover, gold price will drop. |
