If that makes you sick, then I won't tell you that the NASDAQ Composite posted a loss of 11.64%. Oops.

The Dow was down a whopping 800 points (-7.7%) intraday yesterday before closing down "only" 3.58%. The S&P fell 8.16% intraday, ending the day down 3.85% while the NASDAQ Composite plunged 9.61% intraday, recovering to close down 4.34%. So is this dismal September giving way to another Black October?

But we still have lots of difficulties in the Real Estate market on a national level. Today I would like to talk about the myth of "Short Sales" as a way to help homeowners save their homes from foreclosure, and as a means for buyers to make a lot of money. In fact, short sales are actually hurting the Real Estate market by artificially increasing the inventory numbers with excess homes that aren't selling. But before I address all that, I want to briefly touch on the Fannie Mae (FNM)/Freddie Mac (FRE) problem.

Last week, the New Jersey based company, after losing a patent infringement lawsuit with Verizon (VZ), almost had the “Closed For Business” sign put on its front door – luckily, a judge gave them a "stay of execution" and allowed Vonage to continue to sign up customers.

But the fight is a ways from being over, and the company is still getting ready to do battle with Sprint-Nextel (S) very soon in yet another patent suit.
