Ok this might be a stupid question but who in their right minds would buy / lease a car of a HELOC? Aren't those lines a couple 100bps over prime? If you have decent credit you can get a sick rate on practically any car out there...as long as it is not a brand new model that has been launched.

BLSH.....good idea. Get a really noisy one though.

Trooper....so the parking police in LA actually patrol the neighborhoods too? Now I understand patrolling the major streets and garages but neighborhoods...come on!!!! I swear the sun has done something to many of people's brains out here.

UH....Helicopter Ben most certainly does. The Big Picture had a great write-up on this the other day.

BLSH.....call the HOA president and tell them that their shutters have faded due to the sun and that they need to be repainted, that is always a good one.

Hey just park your car in your yard....I am sure your HOA would like that even more. Absolutely ubsurd....IR...this deserves a WTR Award. Maybe we should start compiling a list.

I thought this was a very interesting graph posted on "The Big Picture" from the NYT <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/09/23/weekinreview/20070923_BAJAJ_GRAPHIC.html"> http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/09/23/weekinreview/20070923_BAJAJ_GRAPHIC.html</a>

Does that make Bernake and Paulson butt buddies?

She deserves a pat on the back.

Marty....isn't their exchange rate getting to strong against the dollar? Also, keep in mind that some European countries are having the same mortgage mess we are.

<em>"Actually, the Fed's move will likely pressure other countries to reduce their rates in tandem. " </em>Well I hope not many follow the Saudi's rout: Saudi Arabia, who usually mimics every FOMC move, has refused to cut interest rates in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve for...

I never walk to those pools or any of the other amentities...to far and why do that when I have a pool in my own complex so if I need to refill my cooler I can walk right upstairs. However, the b-ball and tennis courts are nice. Always so good pick up games.

ACMPE <em>"i just thought of something yesterday... its commonly noted that woodbury homeowners are essentially subsidizing all the renters who get to enjoy use of the parks and facilities. isnt the main park run by the city? i dont believe renters have access into the clubhouse and...

Awgee....how low are you speculating that the FED Funds Rate might go?

I think we have showed him exactly why we think the dollar is going to continue to fall. Foreign rates are not following the FED, the Treasury has just asked Congress to increase the US Debt Limit, and we still have no assurance that Bernake and company aren't going to keep dumping massive...

The Treasurey and how it keeps needing to up it's debt limit it so it can meet it obligations. Not exactly like a Ponzi Scheme but similar.
