No Real Estate Bubble in Central U.S.

Wake up, this ain't your pappy's media anymore !
The same media that is putting Obama in the White House
can report on financial meltdowns, credit emergencies, housing
bubble"blow-ups", "bogus terrorist threats" and whatever else is on their
agenda! It has absolutely nothing to do with reporting or
journalism any more!
I'll just bet y'all a quarterhorse yearling and a wheel of Emmenthaler
that the good people of Eau Claire WI or Lubbock TX would never
contract to purchase a 34-year old 3bedr./1bath/1300sq.ft... garage
Re-do-fixer-upper for US$ 759,000.00 !!!
Harvard ? Yale ? MIT? NYU? no! but commonsense abounds!

Service-Based Economy Is Progress? Show Me the Money

Sure we are a "Service Economy" ,
too bad that 90% of the participants dont even know how to
spell "service" much less provide it !

Reasons to Bail Out GM

I'm just wondering if any of the upper-echelon managers & board members
with their fancy degrees from the elite universities ever visited a showroom
and actually went through the trauma of purchasing a vehicle !
(And 3 days later had it hauled in for repairs!)

What's Happened to the Equity Risk Premium?

Soo?
your bank pays you 3% interest !
Your local utility pays 7% dividend !

Meat Processors, Sliced Beyond Reason, Provide a Buying Opportunity

Sorry, Mark, there are too many good buys out there! These people have a big PR Problem with animal cruelty.
Perhaps the leaders of this outfit are too old to recognize there is a problem when a $10,000.00 delivery hits the kitchen, and the chef
sees the label, and yells: take it back !
Are these executives really too dumb or too ancient to realize: price
is not everything !

Sounds to me more like a question of "Quality of Life" !
You like China's !
I chose USA ! (over EU)
Long live freedom,hard work, happiness and prosperity ! (&McCain/Palin)

Get Ready to Buy Like It's 2002

I just hope that all the Obama-Kool-Aid drinkers will enjoy all the
"CHANGE" they are expecting!
The euphoric crowd that swept Jimmy Carter into office in 1976
showed great disappointement already in 1978, and planted
Ronald- Reagan- Yardsigns in 1980 !!
Deja-vue all-over-again ???

Who Is John Galt? We'll Soon Find Out

The election fervor around Obama and all his promises remind me very
much of the euphoria in Germany in the late 20's and early 30's.

Congrats. JIMBO ! Your responses and thoughts should be required
reading for anyone before voting or investing !

Bernanke's Fall from Grace

For how many years did congress and the media hung on every word
Greenspeak uttered ?
Now he admits what ??
I always thought he was a ignorant, political,self-serving putz.

The Right Way to Encourage Home Ownership

Some simple solutions:
1) Live within or below your means.
2) Understand the resposibility you incur when purchasing a home and
taking out a mortgage.
3) Treat your home as "shelter" not investement,cashcow,AT... etc. etc.
You treat your car as: transportation ! no?

Conference Calls Show Regional Banks Squeezing Homebuilders

and the point of the story: don't ever trust a banker !

Pathetic Display at Yesterday's Financial Hearings

The same idiots that benefitted from this trainwreck are now pretending
to work on solutions, but nobody has the courage to honestly describe the cause or take responsibility !

Time To Go Long, For A Short Time?

sounds like we will be protecting our veggie gardens with shotguns
very soon !

How Bernanke Stunned Congress with the Truth

After everything is said : Why are the same old asses ( of both parties )
re-elected time and time again ??

A country that can put a man on the moon cannot impose
reasonable term-limits on it's politicians ??

" We have no REAL pres. candidate ! ! " wake-up people !!
Most politicians have the IQ and/or common-sense of a houseplant.
It's the people they surround themselves with and whose advise they
seek that give you a better picture.
I'm personally less afraid of the McCain camp !
All the BS aside: just ask yourself : Who should appoint the next
Supreme Court Justices ? and: What direction will this country
take then ?

(PS for all the undecided : YOU might make a point with your vote, but Paul or Nader will never appoint anybody to anything !!
