oc_fliptrack: You like Anchor Steam? Definitely not as dark, but pretty good for a mass produced beer. In 1996, I stopped counting new labels that I had tried (hat tip U.S. Navy). I'm not trying to boast as most of them really were not that good. It's like saying I walked from Irvine...

While I do love the recharts.com, Credit Suisse is the one who deserves the credit for their objective fact finding and reporting that just came out.

I found when the bottom is. Here's how I figured it out. First, the mainstream media is always late usually lagging by 3 to 6 months. Second, pity parties will be the "in" thing because all the sheeple will be hosting them shocked that they will be losing their house...

Asteroid I've learned a lot about buying bank foreclosures without ever paying a cent. Granted, my actual experience is zero. Also, there is no cost, other than your time, to down to the foreclosure auction at the courthouse and listen in. Don't blink though, they are often done in 5...

I've been keeping an eye on the foreclosures and I'm starting to wonder if you're statement ... "The second stage is NTS notice of trustee sale. This can happens about 30-60 days after the NOD is filed. This is supposed to be a recorded document and public record. However something in...

Quantico FBI field agent in charge of snappy names: "We need a name for a mistress who only receives gifts but no sex?" Quantico FBI psychological profiler: "How about 'asexual mistress'?" *************************************** And to think that KMC and Segway are still doing business.

IR said, "The real debate should be about the extent to which credit will tighten as this will largely determine the math which, in the end, will determine the depth of the drop." Amen brother! Can I get a bond market bear-yah! Bear-yah! My house situation is almost exactly like...

graphix, Have you ever been to a real estate auction? I don't mean any of those slick ones with the emcees and blaring music and obnoxiousness. I mean those where there's just some lawyer in a room at the courthouse and the lien holders are there kind. I've been told they are over and...

This one makes my stomach churn more than normal... http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aN4sulHN19xc&refer=home In short, it asserts that S&P, Moody's and Fitch are dragging their heels to respec the CDOs. The fear is that respecing i.e. downgrading to BBB or lower...

awgee, huzzah! American incomes are have not risen markedly for a long time and on a PPP basis, not in a very long time. Sure the cost for a plasma TV has decreased, but education and health care continue to rise in double digits percentages relative to GDP and income. ***** I...

awgee, Ford Falcon Fairlane 300... I loved those babies. I currently have 62 bug and a 2005 Prius. I do admit that I judge the neighborhood by the cars in the driveway. A quick sampling of 20+ cars gives a very good idea of the neighborhood. If I saw an area with out of production BMW...
