You can say a rally is an overbought signal, but to make that decision you have to look at the whole picture, not just the parts of it to make your point.

For instance, if a $100 stock drops 90%, then move up by 100% its current value is only $20. Statistics can be manipulated in many ways.]]> Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:16:02 -0400

Have you tried to get a mortgage recently??? The loosening was done by the previous administration, when the housing bubble was built up sky high. Now its almost impossible even for well qualified buyers to get a mortgage, without jumping thru hoops.

Comparing 273,000 foreclosures in 1932 to 342,000 in April 2009 seem staggering, but a comparison to the 1932 should include additional statistical data such as the number of housing units back then and today, the population growth, etc. Without a true and fair comparison, I see this as nothing but a fear mongering article.]]> Wed, 08 Jul 2009 11:29:50 -0400
