The Peterson transformation - why JBP matters This documentary is well-done & thought provoking Documentary: A Glitch in the Matrix (David Fuller production) Published on Feb 17, 2018 A Glitch in the Matrix: Dr JB Peterson, the Intellectual Dark Web & the Mainstream Media: Documentary by Journalist David Fuller.
  2. OMINOUS: Rising mortgage rates hit home sales hard... Homebuyers increasingly can't afford what they want. Higher mortgage rates, combined with the loss of homeowner tax breaks in some of the nation's most expensive markets, are taking away buying power. "New home sales down 7.8% in January" Sales of newly built homes are falling, and the culprit is clear. Homebuyers increasingly can't afford what they want. Higher mortgage rates, combined with the loss of homeowner tax breaks in some of the nation's most expensive markets, are taking away buying power. Sales fell in December, when the new tax law was signed, and then again in January, when mortgage rates moved higher. Sales are now at their lowest level since August of last year. The government's measure of new home sales is based on signed contracts during the month, reflecting the people who are out shopping and signing deals with builders. It is therefore a strong read on current reactions to home affordability. Mortgage rates moved a full quarter of a percentage point higher during January, from below 4 percent to about 4.25 percent. It then took off further from there. / 2 / Home-builder ETFs fall after pending-home sales data MarketWatch

  12. What will Spiking Mortgage Rates, High Home Prices, & the New Tax Law Do to the Housing Market? By: alexmark Surging home prices have primed the housing market for this. This chart (via Trading Economics) shows the recent spike in mortgage rates, as reported by the MBA. There are two spikes actually: The spike off near-historic lows in the summer of 2016 (the absolute low was in late 2012) when the Fed stopped flip-flopping about rate hikes; and the spike when the subsequent rate hikes started belatedly driving up the 10-year Treasury yield late last year. It’s the 10-year yield that impacts mortgage rates. Note that, except for the brief mini-peak in 2013, the average mortgage rate would be the highest since April 2011: The average interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages backed by the FHAwith 20% down rose to 4.58%, the highest since April 2011, according to the MBA. And the average interest rate for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages with 20% down rose to 4.02%, also the highest since April 2011 Read more: www.whatreallyhappened.com http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/#ixzz580V5jh3q

Metro Manila traffic cost balloons to P3.5 Bn a day (Manila Times headline) Cost of Traffic congestion has ballooned: + Cost of P2.4 billion a day has jumped to P3.5 billion a day in 2017 + Traffic demand now stood at 13.4 million trips a day + "If we do nothing, it will become P5.4 billion a day in 2035", said Susumo Ito, of JICA at a conference on Thursday + Build, Build, Build is in the right direction, and should reduce the daily cost to P3 bn, or P2.5 bn with additional projects The PH govt intends to fast track the Mega Manila subway project.

  15. MANILA's TRAFFIC : Getting Worse There are a number of reasons for this: 1. MRT-3, along EDSA is down to just 5 trains, 25% of expected capacity. It was SUPPOSED to be rising now, not falling, since new trainsets were ordered 2-3 years ago 2. BGC is growing, and rising traffic, to-and-from is adding cars to over-burden roads. New completions of Residential Condos in 2017, should add 36% to supply this year. And office completions will also show a big jump 3. Filipino Driving habits are not helping. Some drivers say that the daily CARmegeddon is caused by the habit of Filipino drivers "to use counterflow and 'gitgit' (corner cutting?) to cope with delays". But it is not that simple

  22. Is this young woman, Mica Tan, the women entrepreneur of the Year? - if not, maybe she should be: At thirteen, she was already trading stocks. At nineteen she had her own distribution business. At twenty-one Mica had established MFT Group, a financial holdings company that seeks to provide financial assistance to companies who are in dire need of help. Now more than a year later the business already has nine companies under in its belt, all from varied sectors and industries – publishing, printing, manufacturing, credit, and agriculture equipment. “Being an investor, the most difficult part of my job is the pre-judgment people make because of my age and my educational background,” she says of her challenges. “When people see me, the first thing they usually say is “She’s twenty!” I don’t blame them but I see the change of decision-making process when they get to know me more. The most fulfilling, on the other hand, is seeing these companies growing and slowly making progress and when the owners introduce MFT Group to their kids. This is a human of way of investing and helping out entrepreneurs.” In her journey as an angel investor some of her learning includes never to eat alone because it is through these times in her life that she gets to meet interesting and fascinating people, discovering more of their hidden talents, treasures and facets. Along the way she also surrounds herself with intelligent people and tries to discover their biggest problems. “This is important because a real business solves problem,” she says. “When you have a business, you need to make sure that you can solve other people’s problems and not just your own. > http://www.illustradolife.com/the-global-youth-leaders/
