It's BULLISH, more unemployed means more folks will save on sbux money, lunch money, MTA fare, happy hour money so they can save up to buy that $1M+ studio! It's all BULLISH ...

btw, in case some of you don't GET it .... this is "sarcasm"

Caonima says "the grass root being poor is the necessary element for the 1% being rich, that's how capitalism works, and that's why manhattan RE price continues to make all-time high"

That brings to mind Winston Churchill's well know quote: “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."

Ironically low interest rates are killing Wall Street There's no profit in securities lending, and with interest rates at zero many loans can't get done. Furthermore Wall Street can't deduct fees from the interest they do pay.
Right now there's just no business model. Higher rates might just save
Wall Street.

@Brooks
Rates went up when Volcker raised rates to combat inflation. And if rates stay low, prices should stay where they are (all else equal)... but other factors could continue to make them go lower (loss of confidence, loss of jobs, etc.)
