Ultimately, most of the money that financed the bubble is owed to the owners of mortgage-backed securities. What are these securities? Who owns them? Do these investors realize the risk?

It would be very interesting to see graphs of mortgage-backed bonds trading. Does anyone know the ticker symbols for these bonds and a free way to look up the graphs?

If I’m lucky, I can catch him trying to beat me up on camera and get it on Fox news. lol.

I can tell he doesn't have any balls so this won't happen, but his Wife might! :lol:

(I think it is still overpriced, but it really seems like the asking is lower than other recent places)

Patience SFW, another year or so you will be saying "I can't believe a couple of years ago I thought the price (several hundred thousand more) wasn't too bad, good thing I didn't buy back the!".

btw - I bet that plasma you see in the picture was purchase with home equity!

Peter P,

Yeah, the front page is down but I can still access the contents.

I'm going to do some lateral thinking on this and hope something works.

You just think making people pay 1% if they buy now is unfair to the 1% people compared the people sometimes paying 1.8% on their purchases.

If they don't like having been screwed like that, and now paying $600 a year while the new neighbor pays $6000 a year, they could sell and buy again. :)

SQT,

Thanks, the front page is back on.

I didn't realize the moderation was on either. Oops!

I made both you and Peter P administrators, so please feel free to make changes, add people or do anything else you'd like.

For anyone else interested, my(our) new food blog is at http://greencrabs.blogspot.com/

If you like what you see (or don't like what you see and want to make changes) and would like to contribute (as much or as little as you like), please let me know and I'll email you an invite.

hey, they've already perfected teleportation:

CNN.com - Scientists teleport two different objects

i wonder if you could then use the same technology to photocopy people?

i've been working on a noiseless, rotorless anti-gravity machine in my spare time for a while now... it's working pretty well, it just takes a while to set the spring...

..what?
You're not using the ultra-new 'hamster in a wheel' technology?

That's what my PC runs on. Oh, and a backup using rubber bands.
