• Fabian Calvo: Rise in Asset Prices all an Illusion! 
  by By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
  Real estate expert Fabian Calvo says, “There’s a lot of manipulation from government agencies and the Fed that is creating this rise in asset prices . . . but it is all an illusion.”  Calvo’s company, TheNoteHouse.us, buys and sells $100 million in distressed debt a year.  Calvo says, “The Fed thinks this will work. I don’t believe it. I think we’re going to end up in some kind of currency crisis or come kind of bond crisis.”  Nevertheless, the Fed policy of suppressing interest rates is working–for now.  Calvo says, “The Fed realizes there needs to be a low rate environment for housing to recover or it’s a huge implosion.  They have thrown underwriting guidelines out the window.  They are going to continue with no money down loans or very little equity.”  The Fed also knows that many big banks are technically insolvent.  Calvo contends, “You have a lot of these zombie banks.  If you mark-to-market their assets, they would be bankrupt.”  So, the Fed and the government will continue to print money to keep housing prices and the big banks from collapsing.  Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with Fabian Calvo from TheNoteHouse.us.
