All my life I have: 1) Played by the rules 2) Kept my nose to the grindstone 3) Been financially conservative and a good saver 4) Never have caused any burden on anyone else due to my own bad judgement I get zero "bailout". In fact I will …

Helicopter Ben quotes from todays hearings: ""The financial markets are in quite fragile condition and I think absent a plan they will get worse," Bernanke said. Wow....this guy is brilliant. "I believe if the credit markets are not functio…

It is of the utmost important that no financial executives be penalized for any role they may have had in any of this. Nor should the record WallStreet bonuses received in 2004-2006 be "paid back" or anything along that line to help ease future taxp…

Our financial system is like a bunch of dying junkies juicin each other to the end....

Anyone who makes their living quoting/looking up information in bookshelves full of old leather bound books is most likely in an occupation ripe for computerization/digitization. Symptoms of dead end jobs include repetitious paperwork, repetitive a…

"Also, a 30 year outlook is actually not as gross an overstatement as you might think. If you are 55, you have about even odds of living another 25 years. So yes, even those nearing retirement age are in the market for the long haul. If you're 75...…

"Since 401k money is for 30 years out, you can take a long term view even in the most dire of economies." RCC, you may want to revise your advice. A "long term view" is appropriate for a 30 year old but certainly not for someone approaching retir…

Allow me to apply some common sense.... The banks and brokerage houses have been holding bags full of dog crap while telling everyone its truffles. It worked for quite awhile and many people convinced themselves that dog crap was the new deliciou…

Lamont The "text book" description you allude to is available. But it skims the surface and provides at best only a static overview in general terms. I am not talking about the way the system is ADVERTISED to work, I am talking about the way i…

I am an engineer and have asked many other engineers if they understand how our financial system works (FED, big banks, little banks, money print orders, oversight and regulation, hedge funds, exotic instruments, etc.). In engineering, giving peo…

Interesting that there are so many lawyers in RE. Seems like a natural fit though...since both are parasitical jobs that produce nothing of actual value.

Good riddance!!!

Agree that the survey is just trolling for buyers. They will cherry pick the answers they like and post the survey with a the bottom line "its a great time to buy!!!". The hungry stomach of a RE "professional" has no conscience.... :twisted:

Nice to see Free Market Capitalism at work here. The strong and viable survive while the weak and inefficient are purged from the market. Thank God we live in America, the bastion and chief cheer leader for Free Market Capitalism. This ad bought and…

tsgrayson I am not going to pull any punchs....don't buy now. The Seattle area was "late to the party" and as such the Seattle "roller coaster" is just at the top of a long ride down (nosing over and gaining momentum). I think Sniglet's estima…

"My perception of the problem is that Mr. over-clever investment banker "gamed" the system so severely that the actual amount of risk was obscured and the ratings agencies were clueless. Either that or the ratings agencies just went along with the g…

Interesting that the now defunct Sharper Image still has a website that says: "Sorry to keep you in the dark. But, there's something big coming. Soon. Stay tuned." Let me guess.....solar powered flashlight to help you find your way to your loc…

Eastsider Below is a link to the same meter that I referenced previously. Except, this link has some technical info so you determine if the operating frequency of your WIFI router, cell phone, microwave, etc. is within the detectable limits affor…

This meter one looks pretty good..... http://www.amazon.com/TriField-Meter-Electromagnetic-Field/dp/B00050WQ1G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1218828897&sr=1-3 I would steer clear of any instrument with the word "paranormal" in the desc…

My wife forced me to buy a gauss meter to measure the strength of electrically induced magnetic fields. It cost me about $150. Anyway we would use it around the house to see where the electromagnetic "hot spots" were. Typically these include (appro…

Two scenarios: 1) Optimist - 2012 they stop falling and level out 2) Pessimist - We do a "Japan" and they keep falling...and falling So are you feeling lucky today?....

My landlord is a Commercial RE broker and when I asked him if it was harder for people to get commercial loans "now" he said that since both commercial and residential use the same lenders, he is seeing a real tightening of credit and marginal devel…

Resigned in June for another year at the same rent as last year. Rent a 3B/2BA single family home in Magnolia with a nice view. Landlord works in Commercial RE so I hope that a downturn for him does not translate into any sort of pressure on this en…

"Or a fat government bailout. " Luckily for us our elected officials are bright, cannot be bribed, and carefully weigh the long term financial and ethical effects of their every vote. Therefore, I can assure you that they would never do something…

Recent pictures from Mars reveal patterns on the surface indicative of melting ice and the subsequent "flow" of water. Given that pictures of the same area taken just a few years ago did not show melting ice/water, one has to wonder......if Earth an…
