I have predicted another housing bubble since 2010. Things were bleak then and most people laughed at me and called me crazy. I hold out the faint hope that those laughing critics will still be proven right, but the bubble has started.

The Fed sees remaining underwater homeowners as stalling the economy. Most were foreclosed upon, but some have enough money to pay off their debts.
Who are they to pay down debts? If only their house prices went up they would buy bigger ones and be more indebted!

Hey Gary ... just read your "banned" article from Business Insider. Great article. (I call it "Military Insider" sometimes, for its relentless militarism/pro Israel Oil War stance).
I've been "flagged off" that BI site numerous times for telling the truth about the Banks/WallStreet/Military raping of America ( with Mr. Obama's explicit blessing).
BI is owned by the status quo, and Joey W is totally illiterate, can't even spell with a spell check. Morons all at BI (for a paid price).

Here's an example of what BI will "flag" off their site. Direct quotations from a US President, presented without comment after one of the incessant pro-military articles.
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. "
Dwight D. Eisenhower 1961
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."
Dwight D. Eisenhower, From a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1953

The military industrial complex has taken over. And it is in bed with big finance. There are a few in big finance that fight it, like George Soros, but he wants to fight it with a super sovereign government. IMO that will be worse. That puts you in uncharted territory where the bankers are fully in charge with absolutely no sovereign ability to ward them off.

Thanks, Marco. While it wasn't banned, someone blocked it from the front page. I was dumfounded at that, and then when the editor told me it was too anti banker, it woke me up.
Ifany of you didn't get down that far here is the link to the article that was pretty much ignored by BI. It showed the determination of JPM to blow another housing bubble:

I had to change the title since I was thinking about Andrew Dice Clay instead of Andrew Ross Sorkin, lol.

BI is just a hack, bunch of propaganda talking heads. That's what our country has become.

There is hope for a more balanced view, now that Henry has been betrayed once again by JP Morgan. But the money is good and there is risk in coming down on the bankers. It all boils down to conscience, I guess.

I think it'll just boil down to dollars and cents, I doubt these people that up high have any conscience left.

Well, your view may well prevail. I do know that BI was outraged at the trading losses in the UK by Dimon and JPM. That was depositor money that is used to gamble in the UK square mile casino, the most reckless in the world.

I guess a reasonable expectation that you're able to pay the mortgage based on income, work and credit history today translates into those horrible "Tight lending standards..." of yore.
The most stringent qualifications I ever heard of was when a teacher friend of my mother and her husband applied for a loan in the late 60's. As part of the application process, they both had to have physicals. It was lucky they did because it was discovered that the lady had cancer. However, it was in such an early stage that it was completely eradicated, they ultimately got the house and she lived into her early 90's.
