    • Sirius Stock Up as CEO Buys Two Million Shares [view article]
      Mel bought 1M shares at $6 a couple of years ago, so let's not get too excited. (BTW, I am a SIRI shareholder) Aug 05 10:45 AM

      There should have been a six-year price cap on gasoline when Exxon and Mobil merged. Jul 18 02:32 PM

    • How To Solve the Housing Crisis Tomorrow [view article]
      You forgot one thing -- changing the name of our country to the United Soviet States of America. Apr 16 12:03 PM
    • Are Housing and Mortgage Markets at a Bottom? [view article]
      These markets will bottom when people give up and stop asking "are we at a bottom?" Apr 15 10:23 AM
    • Housing Crash Unaffected By Fed Actions [view article]
      First our currency was backed by gold/silver, then by US gov't debt. Now it's backed by subprime mortgages. We are so screwed! Mar 24 03:11 PM
    • Where's the Bottom? [view article]
      When everyone stops asking "where's the bottom?", that's when we'll see the bottom. Mar 14 11:16 AM
    • NYC Foreclosures on the Rise [view article]
      IMHO, this sounds like free rent for a year for people who shouldn't have been homeowners in the first place. Who in foreclosure is going to continue paying any amount toward their mortgage with a 1-year free pass in place? Mar 04 10:50 AM
    • We Need a Home Price Decline Moratorium Plan [view article]
      Awesome idea! We should do the same for the stock market, too! Then, I can sell my shares of JDSU for $900! Feb 13 11:06 AM
    • What the Housing 'Apocalypse' Prophets Aren't Revealing [view article]
      You fail to mention that price/rent and price/income ratios are still extremely elevated. When these come back in line with historical norms (either through price declines or inflation), then renters, like myself, will see houses as being fairly priced, not necessarily "on sale".

    • When the Going Gets Tough, the NAR Advertises [view article]
      They also fail to mention that the last 30 years of appreciation in homes is largely due to the Baby Boom generation's starter home and, later, trade-up/vacation home spending waves. These Boomers will be looking to unload their homes over the next couple of decades as they retire and downsize. Jan 31 02:39 PM
    • They Said Housing Prices Couldn't Fall. They Lied. [view article]
      The NAR is a bunch of con artists. I saw a commercial of theirs this weekend that stated that on average home prices double every 10 years. I almost fell out of my chair. Jan 28 03:38 PM
    • 13 Predictions for 2008 [view article]
      34% is NOT a majority, it is a plurality. Jan 02 05:44 PM
    • CEOs in Subprime Said 'Apres Moi le Deluge' [view article]
      These CEO retirement packages should be in shares of CDOs, equity tranche preferably. Nov 14 05:01 PM
    • Housing and Recession -- Does it Really Matter? [view article]
      "if there is a recession but you don't lose your job or have your pay cut are you really affected by the recession?"

      Psychologically you are affected. In past recessions, I have cut back on my discretionary spending for fear of a job loss – especially when others around you are being laid off. Also, companies tend to freeze or cut back on wage increases if business is not doing so well.
