What's up Calculated Investors. 

Deja’ Vu strikes again. Powell and The Fed announce another .75 bps rate hike for the third consecutive quarter. That takes the central bank's lending rate to a new target range of 3%-3.25%. That's the highest the fed funds rate has been since 2008.

The SEC is about to drop the hammer on an operator for straight up fraudulent activity. Hopefully we all don't take a black eye from their misdeeds and their investors aren't left holding the $100M bag.... Here's a summary of the charges:

  • Raising money from nonaccredited investors through advertising

  • Diverged from the core business model it marketed to investors

  • False statements

  • Sold loans to 3rd party note purchasers

  • Investors principal not backed by physical real estate like advertised

  • Loans secured by second trust deeds, not the first lien positions touted to investors

  • Acted as unregistered brokers

Buckle up your seatbelts. This ride could get bumpy.

Let's get into it.
