Default I'm Calling it... The Bottom is Officially in
$100 I GIVE UP!! TAKE MY HOUSE FOR $100 BUCKS

It is at market bottoms that this kind of behavior manifests itself, complete despair and a total aversion to speculation. A few years from today some folks are going to be very happy to have bought when the hysterical masses was dumping their real estate, mark my word.

Not here, unless it was within the last 12 days. However, property investors and those with good cash flow and good credit are having a wonderful time.

I'm glad to see the captain of this ship realizes he has stooped to a new low along with his 'ethics' guy. (Isn't ethics about being honest James?)

When you have the members you have in the positions they have, there rally is no bottom, it's a bottomless pit.

Yeah, I was reading that Arizona just nosed out Florida for 3rd place in the number of foreclosures, leaving California & Nevada for 1st & 2nd, hopefully though there is light at the end of the tunnel.
