    I THINK THE MARKETS HAVE BOTTOMED!!!

    Sorry to hear, Troop. Your account doesn't show the shares at all, even with 0 value? I would imagine etrade will let you list them for sale, but if not, you can probably have the shares transferred to a new account with a broker that does trade OTC. Just beware of account minimums and fees...

    Newport Coast

    Are you asking if people think prices will keep falling? Or are you asking what people think you should do, given the assumption that prices will keep falling? Just to be clear, there's no chance the rent will cover your expenses, correct? And you aren't so filthy rich that you couldn't...

    Quotes from (just prior to) the Great Depression

    As a boy I spent every summer with maternal roots in rural Arkansas and Missouri, among other places. I recall my grandmother still canned her home-grown produce in a dusty back room...the results from which I found unpalatable, to put it nicely. Times may be "hard" now, but only in a relative...

    Auto Dealership Deathwatch

    I just heard that Planet Acura in Buena Park closed on 12/16. I don't think there was much warning.

    Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas to all! I realized again that the best part about the holidays is that it gives us a chance to spend time with loved ones we rarely get to see. To paraphrase a friend of mine, I keep hearing about this awful recession, but I personally have never been richer.

    Need help on garage door repair / replacement!

    Is this a sectional steel door that moves up and out along a track on each end? A crack in a steel door doesn't sound right.

    Phew!! The Christmas shopping is done!!

    Peter, good thinking keeping the poor lass sheltered from both the rain and the wind. A true credit to the chivalrous everywhere. Also, I couldn't help but notice it looks like someone else is going to get the dreaded Holiday 5-pack this season.

    What's going into escrow - Irvine and maybe some Tustin too
