It took 227 days for me to post another 1000 things to say. That is 4.4 things to say per day, and 5.5 things to say per hour. Thanks to Panda for taking my call to type this for me, as my hands have severe carpal tunnel syndrome. Lets take a look at some of the highlights since the 2000 mark...
Countryfried essentially failed, and is now owned by Bagholder of America.
We have had 8 bank failures, including the now infamous IndyCrap. Once the Olympics are over the FDIC will probably swoop in on Downey, First Fed, and Vineyard Bank before I hit another 1000.
Bear Sterns blew up, and JP Morgan got a very nice piece of commercial RE out of it.
There have been about 17,000 NODs, and 7000 foreclosures. That is worse than I could have imagined, it took 2000 things to say to hit numbers like that, and this time it is even higher.
Panda has asked 452 questions, with only two that make any sense. J/K Panda, more than 2 have made sense.
Ipoplaya has gone from a raging bull, to growling and renting bear. With a chunk of cash.
IrvineRealtor has proven that thick skin, good staging, awesome pictures, correct spelling and gammar, and professional skills go a long way and he has impressed many IHBers with them. He has also made some fantastically snarky comments, and posted some great youtube vids.
The question of do you own the land in Irvine has only come up once, and what are mello roos has come up twice.
I have posted the search button .jpg 54 times.
Oil soared to over $100 a barrel, many thought Profette was nuts with that call for the new year. Awesome call Profette!
I have informed many here to not make deformed_incisions.
It has been fun here at IHB, and I look forward to posting another 1000 things, and reading thousands more from all the great posts from the IHBers. I keep coming back here because of you, otherwise I would just be ranting into a black hole called Lansner's blog.
