Me, whose locked in at 5.99 right now
The 10 year nose dived to under 4% on the news. Which is interesting. The buyers there may not be too worried about inflation?
Edit: 30 minutes later aaaand it’s gone

Sorry I'm so late to this party. I don't see a bust coming but, may a pull back. If you take that chart for 1978 and draw a line to 2025 it isn't a dramatic increase in price over a almost 50 year period. If anything this "boom" is because housing prices in 2013 were less than 1978
It is inflation adjusted.
I think at some point we will need a pullback as I don't suspect another surge in wages and these two lines don't seem to like to get too far from each other.
Well spank me and call me silly, it says it right there at the top of the chart. So it is outpacing inflation by a percent or two.

I believe it. No new plants announced for Stillwater since Trump became president. Everything, such as the new Google data plant, was announced when Biden was president. Trump's lofty claim that an unprecedented $17 trillion will be invested in the U.S., so far, bypassed Stillwater and likely Oklahoma, too. Oh, come on, please, why not make it sound even prettier by putting it at $50 trillion.President Donald Trump launched into an attack against Fox News after Martha MacCallum confronted him with less-than-stellar Fox polling on the economy.

TN SOYBEAN FARMER ‘CRISIS’: “China has withdrawn from the market in response to Trump’s tariffs… If those numbers hold, a farmer planting 3,000 acres stands to lose over $250,000 this season alone... many simply won't survive another year in the red.”

Why Delaying Your Social Security Benefits May Not Make Sense
Most people don’t actually wait until age 70. For at least some of them, it makes a lot of sense.
Economists commonly recommend that most Americans should delay claiming Social Security benefits until age 70.
The standard argument goes like this: With Social Security being the only inflation-protected and guaranteed-income source available to many Americans, it makes sense to hold off on claiming benefits so you can receive the maximum amount possible. For example, a person retiring at age 62 could get a benefit of $2,100. The benefit would rise to $3,000 if the person waited to age 67 and $3,720 at age 70.
Delaying also can help protect against running out of retirement income if someone lives longer than expected.
But the reality is that few retirees wait that long. An analysis from the Bipartisan Policy Center found that in 2022 only 10% of Americans actually waited until age 70 to claim their Social Security benefits, while 29% claimed benefits at age 62 and the majority, 61%, did so before their full retirement age.
So, what gives? Are retirees acting irrationally—or are economists potentially missing something?

If you're in good health plus have other income, be greedy enough to wait until 70.
Take it at 62. Invest. Get 8%ish (historical DJ annual returnish) and that 1st yrs payment doubles at 71ish. Same for 2nd yr at 72ish. And so on and so on.
Then at 71 draw what you need and let the rest continue to compound.
Something something store of value.
