☆ Jim Cramer’s guide to investing: Tune in to CEOs
  + stars: | 2023-08-31 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
CNBC's Jim Cramer told investors they should pay close attention to what CEOs say about their companies. If CEOs say something negative, Cramer said its best to take their word for it instead of searching for justifications to keep owning the stock. Chief executives rarely admit when something is wrong, so when one actually preannounces a shortfall, Cramer suggests waiting at least 30 days before thinking about buying stock. At the same time, Cramer said he knows investors need to scrutinize everything CEOs say and take their commentary with a grain of salt. "Don't get me wrong, you can't just take everything that comes out of a CEO's mouth as gospel," Cramer said.

☆ Silicon Valley Bank's failure might just spark a faster housing rebound
  + stars: | 2023-03-16 | by ( Phil Rosen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Now let's see how the fast-moving banking turbulence impacts the highly sensitive US housing market. "It seems that home sales activity has bottomed out, and 2023 will be the turning point for the housing market," she said. While her long-term outlook on a housing rebound hasn't changed, mortgage rates look set to fall faster than previously expected, which could allow more Americans to enter the housing market. And looking ahead to the Fed's meeting next week, Evangelou expects policymakers to moderate their aggressive policy.

☆ Here's why you should expect a housing rebound, according to a top economist at the National Association of Realtors
  + stars: | 2023-03-11 | by ( Phil Rosen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
On tap today we've got a great interview with a top real estate economist and this week's best markets stories, including updates on the Silicon Valley Bank meltdown. Nadia Evangelou: What we see in the data is that the housing market will likely pick up in the coming months, in the spring season. NE: It seems that homesales activity has bottomed out, and 2023 will be the turning point for the housing market. Due to low inventory, even though there are relatively few buyers on the market, housing demand continues to outpace housing supply. We expect 4.5 million homes to be sold in 2023, and about 5.3 million homes to be sold in 2024.
☆ 3 reasons why the housing market won't crash in 2023, according to the real estate research director at the National Association of Realtors

But the director of real estate research at the National Association of Realtors doesn't believe it. Here are three reasons why there won't be a housing market crisis this year. Renters hoping to buy a home after the US housing market collapses may be waiting a while. "Usually, the pending home sales is the indicator for the existing home sales," Evangelou said. Another near-term driver for the housing market is the seasonal trend of demand picking up in warmer months, Evangelou said.
☆ Housing isn't getting any cheaper. But an expensive mortgage is not the only thing making homes so unaffordable.

Everyone's talking about how the Fed's rate hikes have sent mortgage rates skyrocketing. But even as mortgage rates have climbed above 7%, my colleague Alcynna Lloyd and I report that there's more to the story. The general gist is that the surge in home prices — fueled by the low rates of the pandemic era — hasn't come down as fast as mortgage rates have come up. There's a saying, "all real estate is local." This self-made millionaire who made his money investing in real estate isn't interested in taking out a mortgage right now.
