The 30YFR overnight rate jump from 5.3% to 5.85%.Some analyst started thinking, the 30 YFR from now on will be 5.5-6.5% for medium term.If you notice this is still OK considering it's actually the rate in 2009-2010.However what's the different than 2009, is house PSF has 2-3x appreciation, stock index also has 2x than normalized valuation.However, if we examine the inflation, most core inflation occured actually because of oil and gas pricing, especially due to demand in Europe and Russian embargo.

(I am in Pac Heights / Russian Hill area of SF, so your assessment seems spot on @Lawrence Leung ) 

The Realtor's name they gave me is a common Russian name and I'm nearly certain that the girl was Russian or at least from the former USSR — my wife is Russian and I'm pretty good at picking them out of a crowd. 

I'm not sure what I got my self into I'm meeting with an Aussie, and a Russian both of which have now publicly admitted to needing a gun to be in each others presence haha.

I wonder what is going to happen to the market in Miami without Venezualan and Russian oil money?

"In a small town on the South Coast of France, the holiday season is in full swing, but it is raining so there is not too much business taking place.Everyone is heavily in debt.Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local hotel.

After speaking with her, she sounded like an older Russian lady that spoke very good English but was pretending she didn't understand the numbers to work a better deal.A Week before closing the wholesaler calls me and tells me he does not want to deal with the lady anymore because she keeps asking for a discount to take care of the problems in the house (some plumbing and cabinets needed to be replaced, est. $4,500).

--------------(Unit background – the owner only has the property posted on craigs list, and has broken English (older Russian man that lives 5 states away) I see this being a large part in why the property has been listed for longer then 6 months.

They can hurt the Iranians and Russians who need $100 bbl, while not angering the US, where producers will survive with $65.And after that all plays out, prices will rise, probably by a lot.

From here on, Russian, Hebrew, and a little Italiano, but no more French...
