Shadow Inventory: Conspiracy Theory or Real?

Shadow Inventory Of Foreclosures Is A Reality That Is Not Published.

There Have been Many "Owners" that we have come across that were in a distressed situation and had been receiving "threatening Letters" from their lenders, but no action, for almost a year now..

There are many reasons that the banks have "Stayed Foreclosure" and most have to do with "The Magnitude" of the current "Economic Event"..

Reserve Issues, Losses Threatening Solvency, and Exceeding Bank Charter "Real Estate Holdings Allowed" are the main factors.

This issue has a Very Long Way To Go.

Things Have Become "A Bit More Grey" than your definitive "Government Does Not Make Money".

Congress Abdicated its responsibility for "Coining Money" To A Private Entity - The Federal Reserve - which does "Make Money";. Not for the benefit of the citizen but for the benefit of the "Club".

I agree that Government only leaches and does not "Provide Value With Recourse Or Reciprocity For Failure" In Regard To "Money Creation".

However, Fiat Monetary Policy and Fractional Reserve Banking DOES Create Money. (even If It Is Fictitious and Not Tied To Any Finite Quantity.)

U.S. Profits from Bailed-Out Banks

Government "Made Money" from the "Magic Money Fountain" of the fiat money system and the implementation of the "Shell Game" by its select TARP Banks.

4 billion to date => 4.1667 billion per year => Only 336 Years to Go Until TARP PAYBACK => Only 2880 Years To Go Until Pay Back on The 12 Trillion.

Yes the rate could increase but it is doubtful that it would by "Honest Business".

If This Is "Making Money", Then The Government Sucks At It.

Taxes, Tariffs, And Fees are all embedded in the cost of goods and services => End User Pays All.

When Costs Advance Beyond Income => Because Of These Factors And Mandated Bureaucracy (Another Tax) => You End Up On the Wrong Side Of The Laffer Curve.

Raising Taxes Will Only Be Of Detriment To The End User.

What I Do Advocate Is => No Off Balance Sheet Assets. Bring Back The Glass-Steagall Act To Separate The "Casinos From the Holds". "Sound Money" based upon "Commodity Reserve" => Not what "Might Be" or "Thin Air, Because I Say So". Term Limits and Sunset Provisions For All Legislation Other Than Constitutional Amendments. Consumptive Taxation Only - Not On Production or Income. No International Corporations In That Transfer Of Funds Over Boarders Require Public Transparency Not Internal Accounting.

There Are Other Nuances, But Those Are Some Of The Main Ones Mostly Associated With Financial Structure.

Interesting - I was hoping for a "Structural" Or "Systematic" response, yet you give me a "List of Statistics".

You can come to any conclusion if you limit the data to only that which supports your paradigm.

You did not even address the "Mark To Market" Coincidence nor The 12 Trillion - again interesting. (granted it was not directed to you, but it was in the next comment)

You would do better to divorce yourself from your apparent "Annoyance" and filter for "Action And Event". Things are not as stable as they may appear.

Tell me, have you heard of "The Presidents Working Group On Financial Markets" - do you know of their "Mandated Mission" or how they implement said mission. This is not fiction; this is fact. Implemented under Ronald Reagan.

Enjoy your "Sheltered" View of "Clowns" or enlighten yourself in the "Mechanics Of The Market" - It Is More than Just Statistics.

Not everything is "Conspiracy"; but to assert that none exist is mentally minuscule.

Safety Is A Function Of Awareness.

I hope you do well.

Enjoy Your Profits. There Is Nothing Wrong With Being Lucky. Or it could be that you made good choices -Even In Dire Times There Are Solid Companies That Are Good Bets.

Apparently you discount the fact that this "Rally" Began at The Point "Mark To Market" Was Repealed. Is There no Correlation?

How about the 12+ Trillion Dollars Robed From The Future - No Effect???

There are other factors you may want to look into - Ignore the "Emotional Discourse" and "Filter The Dialog For Event And Action".

If you choose not to - suffer as you must.

If you are not paying attention you will have no forewarning when "Pretend Ends"..

I Agree - Ride The Wave - Better Plan An Exit Before You Reach The Beach. All Waves Eventually Reach The Shore.

FB5000 - You show up and prefer to "Insult" Rather Than "Inform" - How Noble Of You.

Do Tell Us What You See That Many Don't - Your Cause For Comfort Is????

If the recovery seems patchy so far, it may be because there is a big and growing divide between credit-haves and credit-have-nots. The market's new willingness to make risky loans doesn't apply to everyone - and some firms are going on a buying spree while they can.

I Apologize For The "Big Words".

If you take nothing else from my comment, take this:


Government Should "Referee" And NEVER "Run" Any Service.

I do not understand how anyone can claim "Everything Is Fine - Everyone Back In The Water." when we have seen OVER 12 TRILLION spent to "Stabilize" and the metrics are barely flat if not still going negative.

"Mark To Myth" Still in Effect, Bankrupt Companies experiencing "Amazing Gains" and "High Volume", Treasury Auctions Are Weak and would "Fail" if not for Collusion, and Governmental Efforts To "Remove Control" from the citizens in "Most Aspects Of Society". Only Fools Put Their Faith In "Words" And Dismiss "Action And Event".

If we continue on our current path - your information may be curtailed and what you "Hear" may not match what you "See".

Niner and Machiavelli999 - Your Arguments "Hope For Benevolence" and you both seem to take "Comfort In Words" and dismiss "Actions" because of "Labels And Party Affiliation".

I agree that Health Care Costs are an issue. However, your assessment of Root Cause is not correct. The Detriments are multifaceted and symbiotic. The Root Cause Can Be Traced Back To Governmental "Incentives". The "Evil Insurance Companies" are opportunists - How Did They Get The Opportunity?

Government Will Not Save - It Destroys Through Inefficiency And Lack Of Reciprocity For Failure. (They Can Not Even Deliver The Mail Without Going Bankrupt - And You Wish Them To Take Over Health Care?)

Government Should "Referee" And NEVER "Run" Any Service.

Taxes, Tariffs, And Fees Reduce Your Ability To "Vote With Your Dollar". All Costs Are Passed On To The Consumer/End User. Taxing "The Rich" Is Counter Productive. Stopping People From "Becoming Rich Through Nefarious Acts" Should Be The Focus.

The Complexity Of Corruption Is Vast.

Do Not Help To Feed The Beast.

No "Time Should Be Given" Nor A "Pass Allowed" When Action Is Shown To Be Dangerous. The Democrat/Republican Paradigm Is A Ruse.

There Is Much To Fear When You Comprehend The Scope And Speed Of Erosion.
