THE US CHIP INDUSTRY MAY NOT COME BACK.

Today it is the chips command destiny.
The U.S. manufactures just 12% of the world's semiconductors, down from 37% in 1990.

Terrible advice:
1. Broker fees are considerably lower.
2. Real estate taxes qualify for SALT.
3. Maintenance/repairs/improvements are not a loss.
4. Interest can be written off up to $750,000 in mortgage debt.
People following gurus need to learn the fundamentals of finance.

I'd take the fixed.
The FED only has two choices:
1. Keep raising rates to stop inflation (assuming no policy action is taken - which it won't be)
2. Keep rates steady and drop HARD & FAST when the economy falters for any number of reason. In which case - refi is worth it.

Not necessarily, the monetary supply can continue to expand in other ways wherein a demand decrease would not result in deflation.
Deflation is highly unlikely, and would have to be severe to lower prices to a reasonable level for the average consumer's current salary.
