  • Seven Uncomfortable Predictions for the Economy [View article]
    Yep. I live in Seattle but I bought 13 acres in central Kentucky last October and a shotgun and lots of ammo (I already have an SKS and a thousand rounds I bought during Clinton's gun grab) last month. Also lust bought a calf. The previous owner still rents from me and he's taking care of the calf.

    When we move out there I will put up my Galt's Gulch plackard.

    This is gonna get very bad and this nation does not have the character it did in the 30's . The "crime" part is one I've been focusing on since 2007.

    The letter should have been signed "John Galt".

  • Credit Crisis Review: ARMed for Failure [View article]
    I blame the consumer. The reason? I rent because there is no way I was going to compete with what others were doing to buy a home. Meanwhile, I rent at 1980s rental costs. It was a no brainer, really.

    Truth be told, if I had known this bubble would go up as much as it did, I still would have bought early on and then just sold last year. I suppose these things always take a bit longer to get here than you expect.

  • Credit Crisis Review: ARMed for Failure [View article]
    I expect a lot of people who CAN make their payments to stop making them anyway in some states. Sure, you sour your credit rating, but with a few months-years of free rent and losing the albatross of being upside down to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars can make up for a damaged credit rating. Significantly so.

    Shoot, you can just pay CASH for your next house...
