Summary
This week, Matt unpacks two stories the headlines are getting wrong on purpose. First, sellers are pulling homes off the market at the fastest rate since 2020 -- and the press wants you to picture another 2008. Matt shows why this is a standoff, not a crash, and what Warren Buffett quietly did last week that tells you everything about where real estate is headed. Then, a deep dive into a sentence buried in Wells Fargo's own filings -- and the $150 billion in "safe income" bank notes being sold to retirees who have no idea they're standing in the wrong line if the bank ever stumbles. Two stories, one pattern: the people who read the fine print win, and the people who trust the pitch get stuck.
