Why are you posting photoshopped image?

I believe he's making fun of those 2 brainless tea-party cunts.

Obama didn't avoid the War Putin did, that my friend is where in the Irony lays.

Putin is one up on Obama for doing a Kennedyesque gesture in his term as a leader. Obama won a Nobel Peace prize for best Kennedy impersonator, but let's face it, he's been any thing but Great.

Are you guys sure Obama isn't a Patnet member? He sure is as clueless as the rest of you.

President Obama dismisses the notion that he mishandled his response to the crisis in Syria, saying during an interview that Washington is more concerned with style than substance, ignoring suggestions that Russian President Vladimir Putin is gaining the upper hand

You gotta love how when Obama says he's going to take military action, the right-tards are suddenly anti war. But now, when it looks like military action might be avoided, they're pissed about that too.

I don't think it matters what Obama does; you are against it simply because he did it.

That is a misrepresentation of the tea party. They have always been anti-war, promoting military isolationism. Could be accurate though for some Republicans.

The interests of The Republican Party supersede those of the United States.

But they are not traitors.

few homes in the USA are worth $500K

Define "worth"

Time to lay off the steady diet of Rush Limbaugh...

Cic,

The people who have the power to screw you aren't middle and upper-middle class folks with waterfront property.

Fegads101 says

If Obama went on tv and said, " I want everyone to join the republican party, and only vote for republicans from now on" the GOP would come out against it before the speech was over.

For you, on the other hand, the opposite is true. If Obama wants it, it must be a good war. If Republicans want it, it must be a bad war.

If you like the war, why don't you go and fight, and join the cannibal gang who eats out heart and liver of enemy soldiers?

The US is a very large country...

Wow... Thanks for that newsflash!!!

And yet you say what you say.

Obama is a moderate Republican.

mell says

That is a misrepresentation of the tea party.

You're right. There aren't enough spelling errors for it to be a real tea party sign.

Blurtman says

Obama is a moderate Republican.

Circa 1990.

Today's moderate Republican thinks that taxes cause cancer, that we're living in the end times, and that executing women for getting abortions is the only legitimate function of government.

The line between the moderates and the right-wing Republicans is on the issue of Israel: the moderates believe all United States assets should be given to Israel; the right reads The Turner Diaries.

The country has shifted right.

HydroCabron says

True.

They have their very own special constitution. They want to replace the pledge of allegiance with something with more hate and more religion in it. Because that's what Jesus would want.

Eliminate flood insurance for any new building in any 500 year plain.
No insurance for anyone that "rebuilds" in 500 yr. plains.

Roberto Ribas spends his time on here acting like a child under an assumed name, but we all know this despised community college teacher for who he really is. he cant hide how much of a cunt he is even if he tried

Pull the plug on QE and let's find out where the economy really stands.

The Los Angeles Times. “The number of so-called absentee buyers, usually cash investors, has dropped slightly in Southern California since hitting a record in January. But they still account for more than 1 in 4 home purchases in the region. And just 8% of those deals were on foreclosed homes in June, compared with 25% a year earlier. ‘Everybody and their dog is an investor,’ said Dick Caley, a Long Beach real estate agent. ‘It has gotten to the point where I do not even return the call.’”

“The mix of investors and their strategies are shifting, with large financial firms starting to pull back and smaller players moving in, looking to buy, fix and flip homes for a quick profit. The short-term mentality worries some economists. ‘Flippers are selling to other flippers, who are selling to other flippers, until there is nobody to flip the home to,’ said John Burns, a housing industry consultant in Irvine. ‘And that is when you have a big downturn.’”

“Experienced flippers say the increased competition is forcing them to change tactics. Brian Coomans, owner of investment company GGB Properties Inc. in Long Beach, sees a short window of time left to make money. ‘I know I am not going to be doing this forever,’ he said. ‘I have maybe a one-year window, a two-year window to be flipping homes like this.’”

So what's your housing prediction for CA?

Bigsby says

So what's your housing prediction for CA?

the flatlining has already begun in the past 60 days due to fed tapering, now time to let the market do the rest!

Perhaps you'd care to put a number to your prediction.

How many buyers search the interwebs & do drive-bys to avoid commissioned sales people's pressure tactics & find the listing to be an overpriced shack in a dumpster neighborhood?

Shyster associations should fire any representative that doesn't continually Pump-Up the Hype.
Looks like sales will increase & prices will rise. Traffic is down but most are discriminating buyers.LOL

Does anyone else get the feeling that there is some disagreement here on the future of real estate prices?

I suspect it is in danger of becoming slightly uncivil.

Bigsby says

Perhaps you need to reread my earlier post - you know, the one where I said he can post his prediction as well and then the two can be compared.

when he post a specific number, then so will i. until then, your lover is predicting much higher up, and i'm predicting down

Iwag says

look at this loser with his lies again. i bought in 1991, you know, back when your haircut was still in style?

i would gladly compare my housing gains to your housing gains anytime Roberto. all of your phoenix desert shacks compared to my single San Francisco victorian that i bought over 20 years ago. you really want to compare who timed what better asshole?

honestly the only punishment i really fear is ending up like Roberto Ribas. it keeps me up at night, and pushes me to do greater.

So why are you so vein-bustingly trolling this site then? A bit sad for someone who is seemingly in his 50s or older.

You've posted 85 comments and been on here for a few weeks...

And you still haven't put a number to your prediction... or explained why someone who is supposedly of your advanced years is behaving the way you are.

are there other observations youve made about me bigby? are you in love yet?

Bigsby says

He would be wrong, and so would you.

but would you kick him out of bed for it?

Analyzer says

Pull the plug on QE and let's find out where the economy really stands.

Since nowadays "the economy" = "the stock market" + "the housing market", the "economy" would probably tank if the QE stopped. Our economy is "asset based," or so they say. It's not based on the creation of actual goods and services. It's about numbers getting bigger over time.

yeah its funny when you can be wrong over and over, and claim you got things right, all at the expense of your wifes life savings

Could it be that the 44% who oppose raising the debt ceiling are those who actually pay income taxes???

Can America just spend more than is take in indefinitely, without any consequences?

Bigsby says

Err, I haven't made any predictions about what might happen in 2014

thats right, you have no input except to be my tail and obsess over me

egads101 says

Not sure why you care so much about that guy, he seems to have made a great deal of money in real estate... you'd think on a housing blog, you'd want to learn from him, but whatev...

the oracle predicted the housing market would lull, or did you forget? prices will be higher in a year, but not at the torrid pace of last year.

that guy? that guy is you roberto!!! has the sun fried your brain in phoenix? CallItCrazy posted a screen shot that showed your roberto account and your egads account have the same exact ip address

why are you being a liar roberto?

also like i said, anytime you want to compare who made more money in real estate, i'd gladly put up just my one s.f victorian against your dozen desert shacks

you bought in 2009, 2010, 2011, and i bought in 1991. who do you think is really going to win that battle asshole? hahaha

Bigsby says

I've simply asked for your prediction for 2014

You bought the Victorian you still live in when you were 21/22? That's quite impressive. Clearly, the intervening years haven't been kind to you if all you are now reduced to is trolling on a RE forum.
