My understanding is that values in downtown Huntington have not fallen as much yet as the outlying areas. All So Cal real estate probably has at least 20-30% more to drop, so if I were you I would wait. The bulk of the price decline should be wrung out of the system over the next 18...

And this is not posted in the Economy/Politics Thread Why?

As a noneconomist I'll chime in. The philips cure represents the ratio of wage inflation to employement. Hmmm Does the new cure also include public service workers.. I don't think there is the same relationship there, they are paid because their unions (prision guards)...

Actually, most economists will tell you that extending unemployment assistance does help the economy. Politically, it's a harder thing to do. Sending out rebate checks was and remains just plain stupid. Voodoo economics. Wouldn't help anything in the long run and just run up the deficit...

Years ago I got a floor lamp for my bedroom with a halogen bulb, puts out a ton of light. Fast forward to 2008, CA has banned halogen bulbs (something about using too much energy). If you go to Lamps Plus you will only find floor lamps with conventional bulbs (e.g. compact fluorescent)...

Good Luck IPO, I think you are making a very wise decision.

Just think, municipal goverments in So Cal could become your clients too. Vallejo may have been the first, but other goverments aren't in a whole lot better shape with declining revenue and high compensation contracts to public employees. The SF Chronical speculated that in Northern CA...

Screw roof's... When you hit balls off into the neighborhood I prefer cars, I love the sound of the car alarm going off after the impact bang.

One of the interesting things about this discussion is how in a way it relates to blog.. the real estate debacle. Greed, liar loans, falsification of documents were what drove the bubble. People who perpetuated these acts showed no morals. People posting here defend bad manners as a...

Hey, I've got nothing against gays in general. I just don't think that public displays of emotion are appropriate behaviour, rather very bad manners. e.g. I don't want to see two dudes kissing or holding hands in public; what you do in the privacy of your own home is fine. Just like...

Mr. Moulle-Berteaux is managing partner of Traxis Partners LP, a hedge fund firm based in New York. I suppose it might have something to do with trying to rally Traxis Partners porfolio, can't imagine he's being taken seriously.

So Trooper... Let me be the first to ask... When you do get married, your first choice of location is ... 1) San Francisco 2) San Francisco 3) San Francisco 4) Las Vegas (like hetero trash) 5) Irvine Really, you think money has nothing to do with this. If it weren't for...

After spending a couple weeks in gay San Francisco (and feeling out of place) I finally came to the real reason for the gay marriage push... Drum Roll... It's the money!!! Yes, Gay Marriage is projected to be a $40 billion/year business opportunity (think $30 - $80k weddings) with...

I owned a three story unit years ago. It gets old fast, trust me. You end up using just two floors and leave one for storage because you really only want to walk up and down 1 flight of steps. May look OK if you haven't done it before but my recommendation... steer clear.
