"I actually think cash is going to hold its value quite well, and that we will head into a period of deflation." And deflation it is and shall be....at least for the next couple years. Prices are not going to go charging up in a country with a…

Meshugy was an example of the quote "Why are fools and fanatics always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts?" His broiled crow is waiting anytime he chooses to chow down. :twisted: I did like his "Baby Blue" icon (blue…

More kerosene..... http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2008552976_webairlines23.html Could turn out to be more grim if "deferrals" turn into outright cancellations....

If you own an iPod then YOU are part of the MS problem. WE NEED TO BUY MORE ZUNES!!! That "Mojave" commercial sums up the MS problem most concisely. MS has to literally disguise the name of Vista (and pay people in a commercial to look excited…

Here is some kerosene... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081221/ap_on_bi_ge/executive_bailouts "Banks that are getting taxpayer bailouts awarded their top executives nearly $1.6 billion in salaries, bonuses, and other benefits last year, an Associa…

Brilliant! Very concise analogy to the "bond rating scam" that was the back end of the housing ponzi scheme. Also summarizes the "do anything for a buck to retire by 30 without doing anything useful" crowd whose illustrious membership will hel…

It is a scientific fact that going from eating caviar to eating "cake" causes distress, anxiety, and anger. To RE "professionals" everywhere..."I feel your pain" :twisted: (ROTFLMAO)

This "entitlement mentality" is disgusting. A long grinding depression is the only way to burn this "retire by 30 without doing any work" out of the population. People need to learn what it means to live within their means, to save money to buy the…

" people assume the actor is also smart. This isn't limited to Stein." "I'll be bach......" :twisted:

According to this site Seattle is one of the top 5 most expensive cities in the U.S. with respect to RE prices: http://housing-watch.com/home.aspx?d=30

As RCC points out the "grim reaper" is loss of jobs (along with divorce, sickness, and death). NOTHING will keep someone in a house who has lost their income and who has no savings (e.g. most Americans). Housing is toast and most debates are just…

Lamont, you make an excellent point. I lived in LA during the recession of early 1990's. During that time a LOT of Californians moved to other states both to find work and to lower their housing costs. I lived in Seattle during the late 60's a…

"Local economy is STRONG. They will be unaffected by this downturn. Yeah.. Right." This is not very patriotic...

Just another soon-to-be-eating-ramen "used house salesperson"....ahem..."professional". From Marlowe's webpage...."I pride myself on offering creative real estate solutions, no matter what the situation or circumstance. " How ironic. Wasn't it…

"The day before, the U.S. Attorney for Nevada had indicted the couple on 6 counts of bank fraud, later revised to 13. Prosecutors say the pair recruited fake -- or ``straw'' -- buyers to apply for loans to purchase 227 properties worth $107 million.…

Charles Dean? As is "Charles Dean Sausage"??? You realize that an attack on Tim coming from someone who sells sausage for a living is pretty weak. Sympathy factor = maybe I'll flip him a quarter (from my ever growing savings as a renter) into …

One last thought.... "Leona Mindy Roberts Helmsley (July 4, 1920 – August 20, 2007) was a billionaire New York City hotel operator and real estate investor. She was a flamboyant personality and had a reputation for tyrannical behavior that earned…

"As two financial giants, Citigroup and Merrill Lynch, reported fresh multibillion-dollar losses on Thursday, the industry passed a grim milestone: All of the combined profits that major U.S. banks earned in recent years have vanished." Everythin…

Less crime - +200 Close to park with nice walking trails - +200 View - +200 Peace & Quiet - $200 I currently am renting a place that takes into account all the above and yes, I am paying about $800 more than if I lived in one of those "ot…

"Aren't these people parasitic to the overall economy? " The answer......YES THEY ARE PARASITES!!! From Yahoo News...."The pledges by six countries that use the euro and Britain helped soothe stock markets, along with a promise by top central …

Unfortunately, there is nothing to celebrate about in this case with regards to being right...I feel vindicated but in a sad way. I underestimated how quickly the stock markets would crash and overestimated how quickly RE would crash. If there…

RCC...take a few deep breaths and calm yourself. Conspiracies have existed since the beginning of humanity. There are both big and small conspiracies. The Bilderbergers happen to be a big one. They conspire together and have an agenda, as does th…

Oh wait, you mean the $700B we were just sodomized for is NOT going to work UNLESS HOUSING STAILIZES? Where was this "small caveat" about the probable success of the bailout when the cheerleaders were ramming it up our backsides? The junky alw…

Alex...I cannot thank you enough for the link to that illuminating and yes, scary video. I have sent the link to all my family and friends and asked them to do the same. Tim, this link should be put in a special place so EVERYONE gets to see i…

Microsoft is entering a period of decline. Their new OS is crap as are their forays into "new markets" (e.g. Zune). They are cutting edge in almost nothing and that legacy is now starting to take them down. But hey, I am waiting for their bailout ju…

Good idea RCC...will do. We have to keep the heat on (or reward them for really representing US) so politicians don't flip flop when the WS maggots try to cram it down our throats again....and again.
-
"It is possible".....yes it is "possible". But the quote had no qualifiers and made it sound like ALL businesses are operating in the red. Again...a bold faced lie to scare people into voting for the bailout. In the coming days the fear mon…

RCC...agree. I would much rather see my tax dollars going for infrastructure than oil wars and for bailouts to continue the WS status quo. Geez, maybe those emails to our representatives actually helped. But then again, if it wasn't just 5 wee…

A short history of Hank Paulson (aka King Henry): So why is it we should be just a LITTLE bit suspicious of this guy? 1) King Henry takes over Goldman Sachs in 1999 and company debt is 20 Billion 2) King Henry leaves Goldman Sachs in 2006 the…
