Will Housing Bottom in 2010 or 2012?

Everyone here is missing one factor - which I see in the sub-market I am in, which consequently is not much lower than in 2006 - that is that as construction prices go up, supply will start to drop, less houses will sell and they will sell for cost +. At that point the market will go back to normal - the market and sales numbers of the last few years were not normal and the numbers were unsustainable. The number to watch is not predicted futures but starts, when starts stabilize after declining, the market has bottomed.

Why the U.S Dollar Won't Die

Funny you wrote this, I was thinking the same thing this morning on a walk to clear my head of all this madness. People are completely disregarding the markets equilibrium mechanisms. I suppose the first effects of the slowing European economies will be seen soon and as soon as the ECB lowers rates, the correction cycle will begin. If I had balls of steel, I would buy dollars, sell oil and gold. I would take that money in dollars and then buy what I deemed to be the most solid financial companies out there. The type of company a Buffet would buy with a sustainable future business at an affordable price.

We're Range-Bound, But It Doesn't Feel Like It

that's a great strategy on behalf of corporations doing buy-backs. Dont fight the market and buy the stock when it's selling off and often times at a great value (who would know better than the company itself). No, it's much better to buy when everyone is buying and the buyback makes no economic sense other than to keep the momentum guys happy. Good going guys. How are people so smart individually and so utterly retarded when put aggregated into a group?
