The fee, imposed in December, added about $1,400 to the cost of refinancing an average mortgage backed by the firms, according to an estimate from the Mortgage Bankers Association.</p>\n<p>“The Covid-19 pandemic financially exacerbated America’s affordable housing crisis,” Federal Housing Finance Agency Acting Director Sandra L. Thompson said. “Eliminating the [fee] will help families take advantage of the low-rate environment to save more money.”</p>\n<p>U.S. home pricesover the past year have risen at the fastest pace in decades, asa shortage of homeson the market collides with soaring demand from prospective buyers. The situation has exacerbated concerns about housing affordability and ratcheted up pressure on the Biden administration to respond.</p>\n<p>With interest rates low by historical standards, millions of Americans have also refinanced existing mortgages to reduce their monthly payments. But the fee charged by Fannie and Freddie eliminated a chunk of those savings for affected borrowers.</p>\n<p>Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at personal-finance firm Bankrate.com, said the fee added about one-eighth of a percentage point to the average mortgage rate, or about $20 a month for a $300,000 loan.</p>\n<p>“Lenders may use this as an opportunity to pad their own margins that have been squeezed by low rates and heated competition, so it is important for homeowners to seek out the lenders offering the best terms,” Mr. McBride said.</p>\n<p>Average refinancing rates for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage stood at 3.1% on Thursday, Mr. McBride said, citing Bankrate figures. That compares to an all-time low of 2.88% in January.</p>\n<p>Fannie and Freddie encourage low borrowing costs by purchasing many mortgages from lenders and subsequently guaranteeing them. The fee was intended to cover potential losses related to the pandemic and government measures to soften its economic impact, including a foreclosure moratorium and another program that allowed some borrowers to suspend monthly payments.</p>\n<p>Such programs didn’t see as much use as expected, as job losses were less severe than initially feared among more-affluent workers, who are more likely to own their homes. Rising home prices further diminished the potential for loan losses, and Fannie and Freddie both posted robust profits last year, even before the fee was in effect.</p>\n<p>The fee prompted criticism from mortgage lenders and a bipartisan group of lawmakers.</p>\n<p>The announcement of its elimination comes less than a month after President Biden ousted former FHFA Director Mark Calabria, a Trump administration appointee. Mr. Calabria had prioritized returning Fannie and Freddie to private hands after 12 years of government control—known as conservatorship—following the 2008 financial crisis.</p>\n<p>The fee generated $5 million in additional revenue for every $1 billion of eligible mortgages acquired by Fannie and Freddie, bolstering their finances and enhancing their potential attractiveness to investors.</p>\n<p>“There’s no continuing rationale for charging the fee, so they’re getting rid of it,” said Bob Broeksmit, president of the Mortgage Bankers Association. “It’s a clear manifestation of Acting Director Thompson’s pivot toward mission and consumers, as opposed to previous director Calabria’s single-minded focus on capital-building and release from conservatorship.”</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The fee, imposed in December, added about $1,400 to the cost of refinancing an average mortgage backed by the firms, according to an estimate from the Mortgage Bankers Association.\n“The Covid-19 pandemic financially exacerbated America’s affordable housing crisis,” Federal Housing Finance Agency Acting Director Sandra L. Thompson said. “Eliminating the [fee] will help families take advantage of the low-rate environment to save more money.”\nU.S. home pricesover the past year have risen at the fastest pace in decades, asa shortage of homeson the market collides with soaring demand from prospective buyers. The situation has exacerbated concerns about housing affordability and ratcheted up pressure on the Biden administration to respond.\nWith interest rates low by historical standards, millions of Americans have also refinanced existing mortgages to reduce their monthly payments. But the fee charged by Fannie and Freddie eliminated a chunk of those savings for affected borrowers.\nGreg McBride, chief financial analyst at personal-finance firm Bankrate.com, said the fee added about one-eighth of a percentage point to the average mortgage rate, or about $20 a month for a $300,000 loan.\n“Lenders may use this as an opportunity to pad their own margins that have been squeezed by low rates and heated competition, so it is important for homeowners to seek out the lenders offering the best terms,” Mr. McBride said.\nAverage refinancing rates for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage stood at 3.1% on Thursday, Mr. McBride said, citing Bankrate figures. That compares to an all-time low of 2.88% in January.\nFannie and Freddie encourage low borrowing costs by purchasing many mortgages from lenders and subsequently guaranteeing them. The fee was intended to cover potential losses related to the pandemic and government measures to soften its economic impact, including a foreclosure moratorium and another program that allowed some borrowers to suspend monthly payments.\nSuch programs didn’t see as much use as expected, as job losses were less severe than initially feared among more-affluent workers, who are more likely to own their homes. Rising home prices further diminished the potential for loan losses, and Fannie and Freddie both posted robust profits last year, even before the fee was in effect.\nThe fee prompted criticism from mortgage lenders and a bipartisan group of lawmakers.\nThe announcement of its elimination comes less than a month after President Biden ousted former FHFA Director Mark Calabria, a Trump administration appointee. Mr. Calabria had prioritized returning Fannie and Freddie to private hands after 12 years of government control—known as conservatorship—following the 2008 financial crisis.\nThe fee generated $5 million in additional revenue for every $1 billion of eligible mortgages acquired by Fannie and Freddie, bolstering their finances and enhancing their potential attractiveness to investors.\n“There’s no continuing rationale for charging the fee, so they’re getting rid of it,” said Bob Broeksmit, president of the Mortgage Bankers Association. “It’s a clear manifestation of Acting Director Thompson’s pivot toward mission and consumers, as opposed to previous director Calabria’s single-minded focus on capital-building and release from conservatorship.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":381,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179240681,"gmtCreate":1626538804843,"gmtModify":1703761577930,"author":{"id":"3583709064106308","authorId":"3583709064106308","name":"jjing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26b1694ca5e6e6f17094274824968463","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583709064106308","authorIdStr":"3583709064106308"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/179240681","repostId":"2152689084","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":219,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179240966,"gmtCreate":1626538704955,"gmtModify":1703761576956,"author":{"id":"3583709064106308","authorId":"3583709064106308","name":"jjing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26b1694ca5e6e6f17094274824968463","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583709064106308","authorIdStr":"3583709064106308"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"H","listText":"H","text":"H","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/179240966","repostId":"2152897876","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152897876","pubTimestamp":1626528120,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2152897876?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-17 21:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix Earnings: What to Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152897876","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The streaming video giant has some big questions to answer for investors on Tuesday.","content":"<p><b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX) investors are bracing for a volatile trading week ahead.

coronavirus pandemic forced the company to temporarily shut the doors to visitors at various points over the past 18 months. These closures cost the company billions in lost revenue.</p>\n<p>As it tries to get its financial footing back, Disney is testing a new feature at its theme park in Paris. The company is allowing guests to purchase premier access passes that would allow them to skip lines entirely.

Boosting revenue to pre-pandemic levels</h2>\n<p>At a price of between 8 euros and 15 euros per ride per guest, the line-cutting pass could raise revenue at the park substantially. It's similar to the free Fast Pass feature that was available at Disney parks prior to the pandemic, but it is more convenient in that the paid version allows the user to pick the time slot they wish. Folks using it regularly could easily spend more on premier passes than on the price of admission. And excluding the cost of technology to develop the capability, the revenue from these passes will almost completely fall to the bottom line.</p>\n<p>If the program proves successful in Paris, Disney could extend the feature to the rest of its theme parks. That could play a big part in bringing revenue back to pre-pandemic levels. In fiscal 2020 alone, the segment that includes theme parks, experiences, and products reported a 37% decrease in revenue from the previous year.</p>\n<p>The loss in revenue caused a pronounced drop in operating income for the segment, going from $6.7 billion in 2019 to a loss of $81 million in 2020.</p>\n<h2>2. Reducing complaints of long wait times</h2>\n<p>One of the more common complaints from guests visiting a Disney theme park is the long wait times to experience attractions. Before the pandemic, it was getting harder and harder to find a time of day or day of the year when Disney's theme parks weren't filled close to capacity. It was common to wait over an hour to access the most popular rides.</p>\n<p>In offering a premium pass that allows guests to skip lines entirely, Disney can reduce complaints of long wait times. If the program works as it's intended to, guests who really want to experience an attraction without waiting in line can pay for the privilege (some restrictions do still apply). It can serve as empowerment for frustrated guests, who can now pay to improve their experience.</p>\n<h2>Not without risks</h2>\n<p>Still, the move is not without risk. It could alienate regular guests who are unwilling or unable to pay for premium access and who may have to wait longer to go on rides. Or the demand may be so high for premium passes on certain rides that not everyone who wants to buy <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> can. It may improve the experience for a few guests but make it worse for others and overall not really solve the problem.</p>\n<p>It is prudent, therefore, that management is testing the feature at only one of its theme parks before rolling it out to the rest. Hopefully, it can address any issues that arise and determine if the net effects of the feature are worthy of rolling it out.</p>\n<p>The company continues on its path, attempting to maximize guest spending at theme parks. Experimenting with admission prices, annual passes, and features like premium passes will go a long way in achieving the goal. Investors can rest assured the parks will likely draw visitors for decades more.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Disney Might Have Solved 2 Problems With 1 Move</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nDisney Might Have Solved 2 Problems With 1 Move\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-17 18:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/17/disney-might-have-solved-2-problems-with-1-move/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) has been welcoming more and more guests back to its theme parks after the coronavirus pandemic forced the company to temporarily shut the doors to visitors at various points ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/17/disney-might-have-solved-2-problems-with-1-move/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"DIS":"迪士尼"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/17/disney-might-have-solved-2-problems-with-1-move/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2152689084","content_text":"Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) has been welcoming more and more guests back to its theme parks after the coronavirus pandemic forced the company to temporarily shut the doors to visitors at various points over the past 18 months.
