4:02 am
these are investors and wall street, et cetera and paying cash. there is a bubble, absolutely and it is not going away anytime soon. gerri: one of the issues at play here are rising interest rates and expectations rising rates couldill this boom. average 30-year fixed-rate mortgages across the country cruising just under 4% in many markets acss the country, you look at 3.95% on the east coast, 3.92 on the west cst, big differences by region, look at that. and thenou start to consider how much of these rtes are going to go high. the expection 4.5% early next week, mention what happens if they go to 7% suddenly all across the country these hous are not affordable inities like denver, los angel, san francisco, seattle, miami, washgton, new york city.
4:03 am
we a a long ways from that. do you think there are other elements making housing affordab? >> absolutely. there are two factors th his interest rates going up taking it less affordable and house prices are going up a lot faste% than you would think otherwise. the thing i want you to look at is may 2. look at any chart since may 2. that is when they lose control ofhe market, so stocks have come down. gerri: some ople say the fed has lost control. a week ago the fedcontrol is too much. can u have it both ways, really? >> no, absolutely not. for all the good intentions i come in peace, the fed has done me good. the fed has lowered intt rates and othe housing side have fannie mae, freddie mac,
4:04 am
fha, almost 100% domination of the housing market through the govement. what do we get? bubbles burst, bubbles burst. gerri: that is what i am worried about. i remember the last time we got into a housingubble i started looking at those little pieces of evidence something was awry and i found something about that in this market today. we look at the searches on the web for homes, everybody buys homes this way now. in places like palm springs, sacramento, california. we have web arch is going on from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in astonishing numbers. i find that to be a sign somehow the market might be ahead of itself. what do you think? everybody is saying the psychology bubble, the housing prices shooting up there i want to getn the bandwagon.
4:05 am
i thought i saw thisn 2004, and we are seeing inventory come back on the market, so i had to get into the housing market now. zero down paent if possible. we are repeating the same cycle. gerr i agree. we will watch this very carefully and i am sure you will help us. thank you for cong on. we're talking about market psychology of housing, right? some relief after the market got rocked for a second day after the fed shifted from a potential pullback. take a look at that screen rocking out. savings ta it on thehin despite a rebound in the dow and s&p so how do you nage the fear in this marketplace. joining me now, psychologist from fox news to bitter i've known you a long time, wanting to talk market psychology here.
4:06 am
is it our professional investors losing it? >> i thi what is happening as investors e making a lot more out of the move thawe hav seen because we have not even declined by 5%. hiorically we have a decline of five to 10% every year since world war ii so we are really just doing whawe normall do. gerri: i think people have lost their minds on it. you think about this thing all the time. market psychology, a lot of lines in the sa people say thin are crazy. somehow we decided a 4% mortgage rate, over that will kill the market, right? a yield on the 10-year tasury is insanity. what do you say about this psychology? >> say the reason you have that kind of panic is try telling an alcohol that there isn't going to be any alcohol ailabl for four hours or six hours. in other words when you a
4:07 am
drugged with free money and irrational interest rates that are artifiay low the idea of a pullback brings reality back li wait a seco, it has been a bubble. we have been addicted an dependent on government fixi the system and guess what, it get their pulses up, they get panicked. they should. gerri: government standing behind the federal reserve ben bernanke keeping the market loat for four years. we have the transition now to something else, how do wdo that as individual investors? >> thihink we as individual investors don't have a choice in the matter, we have to be dragged along and it depends on how we respond. gerri: i d'tant to be dragge wants to ad the charge and find the right way to do it. tell me how. >> you don't overreact. what the fed itrying to do is avoid a japan like inflationary
4:08 am
to firlike environment. so the interest rates are artificially low, they didn't hint, they told us the data continues to come in ast is, we wilstart the tapering program in the later part of this year and and by next year. we're just getting back to non-stimulus environnt. gerri: back to normal really. people feel like it is not back to norral, it is something new. how would you advise people to deal with what will be a volatile summer and fall? >> number one to get expert vice you don't want to be your own psychiatrist or your own financial planner unless you are the other thing is to say look, no kidding to sleep and not having nightmares o were wakingp in the middle of the night should meen you convey to your financial team or advisor the fact he wants to be conservative, pserved your
4:09 am
position, don't be subject to bipolar disorder which is wha happens when you sever rlity and let your mood float from gh to low to high because of articial government propping up of people, housing and industry you get to come down to groundevel and i think people should be telling the financial advisors make a landing as eas as possible because it's coming. gerri: when i think about this because i don't really make decisions sed on what the market is doing with my retirement account and sangs account. instead i'm always putting money in all the time. so i take out all at anxiety, it's possible i don't even look at it as much as i should. what do you tell people who know we should not operate o their gut. >> they should be more like you, they should realize we have had declines of five to 10%very year since world war ii and have months.back to breakeven in two
4:10 am
20 declines of 10 to 20%, we've gotten bac to breakeven in four months. you're probably better off buyingng then you are bailing te onlyay you lose money is by selling at the bottom so i would say don't let your emotions ru as t other guestas saying you are paying an advisor to hold your hand and tell you not to sell at the worst possible time. gerri: lasword, what would you say? >> the last word is thi since we have seen the internet bubb bubble, when that first, that was not such a qui covery, that ruin a lot of people. for the folks at manic high, looks, don't have irrational exerance either. rain in yourself, plan for stormy weather to come a i agree with my co-guest. don't panic. gerri: keep your head when

4:16 am
when badtuffas to be removed from your credit report doesn't address good stuff, it is silent on good stuff so the credit reporting agencies could maintain good informion on your credit reports for ever but they don't, the bureaus have policies in place they will remove inactive old accounts after a decade which is probably not a big deal because bthen you have likely estabed other accounts, but there is no guarantee that ur old great credit established when you were in your teens or 20s will hang out on your credit report forever. gerri: it doesn't surpse me in the least. at is your number one piece of advice for improving the credit score? >> that is an easy one. ck something that is actionable. not a lot you can do about it except for weight. the number one way to improve your credit score very quickly is to pay off credit card debt. that does mean take it from 20 down to zero overnight. if you can chip away at it, you
