Quotes:

“Lower rates usually support the real estate market but in a situation where you don’t have banks willing to lend, then that kind of restrains that area. So you may not see that traditional reaction to the rates falling.” – Frances Newton Stacy

“In New York City, 30% of restaurants will never open their doors again. And how many of those 30% actually default somewhere in credit-land?.” – Frances Newton Stacy

“In real estate, you have to wait. We don’t know what the data is going to do but I personally wouldn’t pay pre-COVID prices until I saw what the defaults look like.” – Frances Newton Stacy, on what to do with your money in the near future.

“It would be so much better to give employers and employees incentives to go back to work.” – Mike Zlotnik
