The truth will set you free. Jim Klinge and Lawrence Roberts are my heroes. We all owe guys like this a big debt (pardon the pun) of gratitude.

[quote author="awgee" date=1237962300]IMO, this is a must read. It takes 50% of what I have been ranting about for the last year and coherently consolidates it into one article.

Hi guys,
Long time lurker, low level poster here, but I think I've got some interesting news to share with the community.
Mr. Mortgage is back and has a new website up, and he's talking about the wave of foreclosures coming in June.
Here's the link:
<a href="http://www.fieldcheckgroup.com/2009/04/07/4-7-ca-foreclosures-about-to-soar/">CA Foreclosures About to Soar</a>

Does it really matter when we know what the results of these so-called stress tests will be? Especially since it is the banks who will doing those stress tests, what a freaking joke.

<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090421/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/us_bailout_fund">Treasury says about $110B left in bailout fund</a>
WASHINGTON ? Only $109.6 billion in resources remain in the government's $700 billion financial rescue fund.
But Treasury Department officials said Tuesday they expect the fund will be boosted over the next year by about $25 billion as some institutions pay back money they have received. That would boost the total to $134.6 billion.

Meanwhile Home Gallery Magazine (you know the glossy house pimpin' rag) for the IE has pages of homes listed with lines like $643 per month*** for 3bd, 3ba, SFR 1500F
That footnote, the ***, it's horrible...
*** based on 3.5% down, 5.5% FHA 30 year fixed, PITI, PMI & 5.876% APR.
Yes. That's right, payment, taxes, and PMI for under $700/month. It's not one home. It's page after page that will take $3000 and a $30,000/yr income to buy.
Or maybe you'd just like to use your planned down payment for a cruddy Irvine townhome to buy it free and clear and still have money left over to remodel the kitchen...
Maybe you want bigger, how about $1242/mo*** for 4/4 SFR in 3100sf. That one is horrible, it's going need $5500 down to do the deal.

The fate of California.
<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124329282377252471.html">Millionaires Go Missing </a>
One-third of the millionaires have disappeared from Maryland tax rolls. In 2008 roughly 3,000 million-dollar income tax returns were filed by the end of April. This year there were 2,000, which the state comptroller's office concedes is a "substantial decline." On those missing returns, the government collects 6.25% of nothing. Instead of the state coffers gaining the extra $106 million the politicians predicted, millionaires paid $100 million less in taxes than they did last year -- even at higher rates.
