That number was up 1.4% compared to the same period last year. The average down payment on a home in 2025 was 19%, according to a report released by the National Association of Realtors in November, although this average was considerably lower at 10% for first-time home buyers. The national average 30 year fixed rate mortgage rate is at 6.24% and down 0.23 points year over year.Is There Going To Be A 50-Year Mortgage?The Trump administration floated the idea of introducing 50-year mortgages as a way to address the ongoing affordable housing crisis and encourage first-time home buyers last week. President Donald Trump shared an image likening himself to former President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who introduced the 30-year mortgage, in a post on Truth Social Saturday. Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chair of Freddie Mac and Fannie May, said the idea was one of the many solutions the agency was exploring and had not fully developed yet, as many critics criticized the long-term benefits of the proposal.Key BackgroundThe housing market has been a point of contention over the last year, as home prices remain high and mortgage rates have failed to fall to expected levels. Home ownership rates have fallen from a high of 69% in 2002 to less than 65% in 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Some experts have attributed this to rising prices for home insurance, property taxes, and utilities, while others have cited the weakening economy and slowing job market as contributors to the decline. Data from the National Bureau of Economic Research indicate most mortgage defaults happen as a result of sudden reductions in homeowners’ incomes. Another solution that has been suggested to increase home ownership is reducing the amount of corporate investors purchasing residential real estate. Institutional investors own about 3% of single family homes in the U.S., according to a 2024 report from the Government Accountability Office.

The Finance Pressure Cooker: The Dangers of Impatient InvestorsCitar“The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.”-Warren Buffett, March 1991Not to commit the finance version of heresy, but I (politely) disagree with the Sage of Omaha on this point. Modern financial markets no longer reward patient investors in the way Buffett imagined. Instead, they increasingly resemble a short-term pressure cooker, where capital is hypersensitive to even minor losses, and where impatience drives both market dynamics and corporate behaviour.Perhaps when Buffett made this observation, markets were genuinely patient. But today, investors have almost no tolerance for drawdowns - not over a year, a quarter, or even a few days. This impatience builds pressure across the entire financial system, with investors, fund managers, and corporate executives all feeling the heat. It may also help explain why markets are becoming more prone to bubbles than before.Where is all the Contrarian Capital?Benjamin Graham, an American economist, once said that “in the short run, the market is a voting machine, but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.”I’ve always liked this quote because it captures the essence of sensible investing. But in a world of increasingly impatient capital, I fear the weighing machine may have broken down. For markets to correctly assess the value of companies over time, they need a critical mass of contrarian, patient capital willing to stand against the herd, absorb short-term underperformance, and hold markets to fundamental valuations.Without this bulk of patient capital, markets no longer weigh companies carefully over the long run. Instead, they become machines that measure momentum, not mass. This helps explain the rise of such a large bubble in recent years (see the chart below): few are willing or able to bet against exuberance when doing so involves enduring quarters, or even years, of pain. In this environment, bubbles are not only more frequent, they grow larger than before, unchecked by the kind of capital that once kept valuations anchored.Death of Value InvestingThe absence of patient capital also helps explain the persistent disappointment of value investing in the post-GFC era. By its very nature, value investing requires time - time for cheap companies to be recognised by the market, for fundamentals to reassert themselves, and for contrarian bets to pay off.But in today’s financial pressure cooker, time is exactly what investors no longer have. Since 2010, the MSCI World Value Index has outperformed the MSCI Growth Index in only two calendar years, and on average has underperformed by around 7% per year. Over this period, value managers have been systematically punished for their patience.In a market environment dominated by short-term momentum, deep value opportunities struggle to gain traction, no matter how cheap they are on paper. Investors and the broader market are simply too impatient to wait for the weighing machine to work. As a result, value managers they’ve been boiled alive in the financial market pressure cooker.Corporate Executives Feel The HeatIt’s not just investors who are affected. Corporate executives are also trapped in this pressure cooker. Markets now demand unrelenting quarterly earnings growth. If a CEO can’t deliver, investors will quickly find someone who can.This relentless demand reshapes corporate decision-making. Rather than investing in long-term growth projects with uncertain payoffs, boards prioritise short-term earnings per share targets, often through dividends and share buybacks. The result is a corporate sector less willing to take risks or make patient investments that could benefit the economy over the long run.For example, the chart below shows the R&D expense per share for the S&P 500 compared to earnings per share and dividend per share. U.S firms divert more into dividends than investing in the future via research and development. In reality, the below chart might even overstate the extent of R&D - looking at the more granular detail shows that 10 S&P 500 firms are responsible for over 50% of total R&D expense in the last year, suggesting that very few are able to withstand the pressure from short-term investors to divert money away from dividend and share buybacks into long-term innovation.Turning Down the HeatFinancial markets have always had a tension between short-term noise and long-term value. But today, the balance has tipped decisively toward the short term. The result is a financial pressure cooker where impatient capital drives bubbles, undermines value strategies, and warps corporate behaviour.The challenge now is to rebuild patience into the system. This is no easy task but President Trump’s suggestion of moving from quarterly to semi-annual reporting might help. By slowing the frequency of the reporting cycle it gives boards more breathing room to make strategic decisions without constantly watching the next quarter’s EPS.Without some sort of reform, the cooker will keep heating up - and eventually, something will blow.

What Will Pop This Equity Bubble?Trying to find the pin prick that will pop this bubbleAs a soap bubble drifts higher, the water film holding it together gradually evaporates until it finally bursts. Equity market bubbles are a little different -they often keep floating long after gravity should have taken hold, buoyed by leverage, liquidity, and collective belief.But every bubble, no matter how high it rises, is pricked by a pin in the end. And this one, as we discussed a few weeks ago, is already among the largest equity bubbles in history - bigger in valuation, concentration, and investor conviction than anything we’ve seen in decades.So what could end this bubble?What Can Pop a Bubble? About a year ago, I wrote a piece entitled Murder Mystery: Who Kills Equity Bull Runs? The gist was simple: for much of the 20th century, equity bull runs didn’t just fade with age - they were murdered, usually by either the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) rate hikes or an approaching recession.The chart below shows that of the eight bull runs between the 1930s and early 1980s, aggressive tightening by the Fed or a recession ended six.Looking at that trend, many investors would have expected the aggressive monetary tightening of 2021–22 to do the same this time. The Fed hiked rates by 525 basis points - its most aggressive tightening cycle in half a century - and although the S&P 500 briefly corrected by 25%, it soon adjusted to the higher-rate world and marched higher again.So why haven’t rate hikes or slower growth managed to pop this bubble? Since the 1980s, financial markets have drifted away from the real economy. Public and private equities now equal roughly 300% of U.S GDP, up from just 50% four decades ago. As markets have grown larger than the economies they represent, classic killers like recessions or Fed policy have lost their sting. To understand how bubbles burst today, we have to look at more recent history.Modern Bull Run’s Self-implodeAs markets have become increasingly detached from fundamentals, external shocks like slower growth or tighter policy no longer deliver the knockout blow. Since the 1980s, most collapses have come from within as from speculative mania turn in on themselves. Think Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com crash of 2000, or the housing implosion of 2008.Spending too much time watching economic data misses the point. Modern bubbles tend to self-destruct through internal weakness, not external pressure. Investors would do better to watch the companies at the heart of the story - their earnings, their accounting, and their operating performance - for early signs of strain.Where Will the Pin Prick Come From?The diagram below is Bloomberg’s now-viral map of the “AI bubble.” It captures the strange reflexivity of today’s market: a handful of companies - OpenAI, Nvidia, Microsoft, Oracle - locked in a self-reinforcing loop of investment, service contracts, and hardware dependence. Nvidia invests in OpenAI; OpenAI buys Nvidia chips; Microsoft sells cloud capacity to OpenAI; Oracle finances and hosts them both. At first glance, it all looks a bit precarious, like a house of cards where each player props up the others.But the diagram has a flaw. It leaves out the real economy beneath it: the datacentres, chip foundries, energy demand, and the still-limited adoption of AI tools by paying customers. The chart gets the mood right but the mechanics wrong. What it shows is capital circulating inside a closed system, not flowing outward into genuine productivity gains.With that being said, what the diagram does capture well is the core of the AI ecosystem and the handful of companies that truly anchor it. These are the firms whose balance sheets, supply chains, and valuations form the foundations of the current market narrative. In all likelihood, the pin that bursts this bubble won’t come from the periphery but from within - through earnings weakness, accounting irregularities, or operating missteps at one of the following giants: Nvidia, Intel, Oracle, AMD, or Microsoft. In an odd way, the earnings releases of these five corporations may now be more important than any macro indicator, because the fate of the “AI economy” rests on just a handful of earnings calls.
