This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Hang on to the free option by OrangeJubilee
in 15 days (or so) you can move forward with the current application (assuming it is really a locked in rate) or with a new application at a different rate. Decide then.
However the cut is already priced in 60-80% in the futures, so I bet you won't see much movement if any if it is a fixed rate offer. If floating, what is the rate benchmarked to? That could move some, but even then maybe not.
However if there is no cost to holding that rate lock for a bit, then do it, it cannot hurt you and has a potential benefit (market rates could rise if they don't cut.)
You want a TV, you can pay $600 today, or whatever the price is in two weeks, but you get to pick which price. You'd always choose the option to see what that price is in two weeks if no cost.
