Crash 2 is starting in May and running in neighborhoods near you till 2012.

I am sharing with you below a couple of powerful charts from Barclays and Credit Suisse. Europeans seem to tell a bit more truth than the American banks, probably because our banks have so much to hide.

The next downdraft--I call it Real Estate Crash 2, will start slowly in May 2009 and continue till mid year 2012. Possible the markets will try for a bottom early 2012 in anticipation of the end of the RE collapse.

The subprime mess was caused by 615 billion in loans buried in derivatives--I am guessing about 20-25% of those loans went bad. Many of those people are trying desperately to keep their homes.

The next session will incorporate 1.1 trillion of option and interest only ARMS held by thinly capitalized speculators who got in too late and got trapped in upside down loans. They are screwed. I think over 50% of these loans and their derivatives will go bad--2009-2011 will be very bad years for the housing market, labor, and the consumer. I see gold and the Dow meeting at 4000-5000, Bonds will be crushed.

Note the credit Suisse Chart at the bottom resets drop off starting end of 2008 and then a whole new series of Interest only and Option ARMS readjust starting May 2009 till late 2012. In the 615 billion subprime adjustments that started all of this mess, many people worked hard to try to keep their homes.

The new series of adjustments are weakly capitalized speculator held homes that the speculators are caught upside down in and cannot get out of the contracts. They will be wiped out by the resets increasing the mortgage payments beyond their ability to pay. These failures will do severe damage to what is left of the economy after the Paulson rape of the taxpayer.


The Option ARMs and Interest Only (IOs) loans scheduled to reset in the next few years will add more trouble. These loans represent about 15% of securitized loans and some have negatively amortized, increasing the payments and making refinancing more difficult. According to data from Barclay's, about $300 billion in option ARMs and $820 billion in IO's are set to recast. The results could be payment shocks over 80% for option ARMs and over 60% for IOs according to Barclay's.
Option ARM Recast and Payment Shock Forecast



Putting it all together......the months with the green tops were mostly the subprime arm resets which is about $615 billion till may 2009, which have caused all the problems we now have.


---the orange/pink tops are another whole set of resets just starting in 2009 which is about another $820 billion between 5/2009 and 6/2012. Anyone calling a "bottom" in real estate or the home construction industry simply is lying or do not know what they are talking about.

"Buy and hold" was never heard of until the late 70's when the Wall Street Sharks got with the large corporations and discussed a new way to gain control of pension money in order to churjn and burn and otherwise bilk the unsuspecting little guy who had not the slightest idea how to manage his pension money.

Using the Ibbotsen and Sinquefeld study of the late 70's that found the"long term" return of the market to be close to 10%.

Armed with this piece of biased information--nobody was told at the time most of the returns were based on dividends--the corporations saw a way to get out of managing defined benefit plans,

Wall Street licked its lips, and they went and lobbied a bunch of stupid congressmen-[are there any other kind?] to pass laws defining IRA's and 401k's, sending innocent workers futures to the blood suckers. "Retire a millionaire" that was a big one I heard on a Wall Street firm's TV ad. Remember that one?

Thus "Buy and Hold" was born. If one buys and holds, how does one buy low and sell high? Money is made in the mid-term--and don't you all forget it. The wisdom of the old codgers is called Wisdom for one reason --IT WORKS--MOVE TO THE SIDELINES------]]> Mon, 24 Nov 2008 22:01:34 -0500

we on the other hand, are stuck with 280 trillion or so in dangerous derivatives that can take down what is left of our big banks....So we are in deep doo--doo. Nobody wants to talk about the $1.1 trillion in interest only and option mortgages held by thinly capitalized speculators who are upside down and cannot get any refinancing.----The resets start in May 2009 and run until late 2012. think what is going to happen to the derivatives 1.1 trillion in badloansareburied in when the mess we are in currently was caused by "only" 615 $billion going bad----gee--we are starting to talk about real money...

What i find scary is that the new administration is being packed with the very people who brought on the current destruction to our system and economy and who benefited from it.]]> Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:43:01 -0500

One thing even Greenspan knew is that Gold will outperform in "times of extremis." That means hyper inflation and/or deflation.
