Wall Street is Not Main Street: Congress Rescues Bear Stearns, but not Housing and Residential Mortgage Markets

Wall Street is Not Main Street: Congress Rescues Bear Stearns, but not Housing and Residential Mortgage Markets

What will it take for individual homeowners and residential Mortgage investors to get some help from somebody? Thus, millions of Americans are suffering in silence. Some of them had a chance to unleash and/or unload some of their tormenting emotions on their senators, home for the Spring Break. They gave them an earful. They told them about the decreasing value of their home and land. Gas prices were also discussed. With their incomes staying the same, parents still have to feed and clothe their families. High prices and foreclosures are oppressing us, the people. We do not know where to turn and to whom to turn. Before and while we are losing our homes, we would like congress to take some broad action to keep us from being eliminated and drowned in debt.

If major New York investment bank, Bear Stearns, could be rescued by a sale to JPMorgan Chase, why can't we, the people, get something, just a little something that will keep us from becoming homeless or keep food on the table for our kids? While things are looking up for some Wall Street companies, investment firms and others, they stay the same or even are getting worse for the rest of us on Main Street USA. We are seeing our homes being bought by foreigners whose currency is stronger than the once mighty dollar. Airplane loads of Euro-rich Europeans are flocking to our shores to find bargain while we can no longer afford some of the goods. We can no longer participate in our favorite pastime, shopping. It is true that we will never be like the Cubans whose government has just allowed them to shop, but lack of discretionary income or cash to buy stuff makes us feel poor now. This recession may last a short time, but we are feeling the pressure it puts us under. We are seeing its grip on the people wherever we turn.

The questions that many people are asking are whether the new collaborative plans announced by the Republican administration and coalition of senators will allow struggling homeowners to refinance their stiffling ARM into traditional 30-year loans.

What is surprising to investors is that, according to Wall Street Journal, more than 97% of the loan recipients pay their loans back. Who said that the poor were not creditworthy?

Calvert which his a national financial services organization with TIAA-CREF, international microfinance organization Accion are helping people, investors make small loans of 3 to 4 years to individuals all over the world.

Wall Street Main Street: Feds Taking Closer Looks at the Wall Street Traders, Managers and CEOS

It was written on the wall. It was time that the market redresses itself. The exuberant excesses must have come to an end. Now the fund managers and banks that profited a lot during the hey days of the housing market are finding themselves in a bind. There was a lack of monitoring when things were going right. All that mattered was that money was being made at a crazy rate. Now, it is time that some regulations be put in place.

The questions that many shareholders are asking are whether those CEOs who got huge bonuses are going to pay pack some of the money they pocketed. How will the stockholders be compensated during these times of excess?

This is just a short list of questions I am hearing on the street. Once again, Wall Street becomes Main Street. People are suffering all over the place. Homeowners are losing the value of their home. They can not afford to shop. There is a recession on the horizon. Who is to blame? Gas prices are sky high. Groceries are expensive. Clothes shopping is high too. What is one to do in this economy?
