Reality says

What if you are wrong, and inflation isn't 4%. Then what happens to your
thesis?

I said 4% or more. 4% was probably understatement.

That doesn't answer the question. I know you think the statement is correct - What if you are wrong, what does that do to your thesis?

bgamall4 says

Soros is NWO. Now, he thinks that the NWO could be used for good, for stopping bad loans, etc. I think he is wrong, totally wrong.

Since Soros is linked with O, wouldn't that indicate that the Dems are also NWO?

Yup Soros is a first rate sociopath. He brags about his child hood experiences with the Nazis. This fellow should be buried 100' deep, a 100' because deep down under he is good.

Reality says

You confuse "how BLS CPI is measured by the BLS" vs. "how inflation is
measured."

No, no confusion there. I have it correct.

Call it Crazy says

Who's disingenuous?? I post statewide data and you want to drop it down to your
neighborhood to support YOUR narrative.... Wow!!!

That would be you. The thread was about nationwide and you had to post statewide data to try to keep to your narrative. Pretty sad.

Call it Crazy says

Almost a 5 month supply.... Gee, there's NOTHING to buy since we aren't at a
6 month supply..... Really??

Low inventory, Low inventory, Low inventory,.... Rah, Rah, Rah....

What else do you want to "parrot"???

Yes. The point is that at a 5 month supply, prices will be expected to rise. There's a pretty strong inverse correlation between inventory and prices. Less suppy, higher prices. More supply, lower prices. It is probably the #1 predictor of future prices.

bgamall4 says

but like I say, when it comes to war, the Dems are much more reluctant to help the NWO.

LBJ, FDR, Wilson were quite happy to cause war, that idea does not hold water.

bgamall4 says

We have the Sandy Hook Hoax, which was the Dem's version of 9/11 conspiracy

Were all of the school shootings a hoax?

bgamall4 says

LBJ was NWO. It could be that the NWO overcame JFK throught LBJ. Wilson was influenced by the NWO. FDR fought against the NWO. There was a potential coup that was set against him. WW2 was a defensive war.

FDR was as complicit in the war as Hiro Hito or Hitler. He just had a couple of tricks he learned from Edward Bernays.

bgamall4 says

Good question. Who knows? Sandy Hook was exposed because people talked too much and we saw their actions as well. Some say Aurora was fake.

I know there were actors at the Boston Bombing, and that is a disturbing fact. The blood at the Boston Bombing looked like red paint. It was fake.

I don't think you are too far off the mark regarding the NWO, but the other is crazy talk.

In fact the drugs are more likely a tool of the NWO, it is Soma for the non malleable.

Call it Crazy says

Let's see what YOU posted regarding the nationwide OP:

Actually, this is what I posted about nationwide OP:

tatupu70 says

Here's the actual nationwide numbers in case you wanted to be honest for once.

"Inventory rose 2.2 percent by the end of January to 1.90 million existing homes on the market. At the current sales pace that represents a 4.9-month supply, up from December's 4.6-month supply. January's inventory was also up 7.3 percent from the year before. Realtors consider the market to be balanced between supply and demand when there is a 6-month supply."

tatupu70 says

Not in my area we're not.

is what I posted in response to your post about NJ data.

tatupu70 says

Yes, because cherry picking the one commodity that has increased the most is how one should measure inflation.

Things we buy from China have little inflation:

http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?g=sXm

things China buys with our money has a lot of inflation.

Fucking currencies; how do they work??

bgamall4 says

And you say Sandy Hook Hoax was not related to the New World Order?

So was the moon landing fake as well? Can they get that many people to lie?

That is crazy talk.

Straw Man says

This is 100% Russian propaganda.

Who owns Aljazeera, isn't that Al Gore? I'd say that's our own stuff.

bgamall4 says

To think that no conspiracy happened, when you look at Sandy Hook, 9/11, etc, is to lack intellectual integrity. Study diligently.

How so?

The Ukraine crisis is one of the few reasons I appreciate Obama and dems. Does one really think we can declare war on Russia? Russia has very little debt, huge surplus and still growing at close to 4-5% a year.

Russia and Ukraine have a history that goes back longer than America has been in existance. Strong rhetroic is enough-ain't gonna solve that one if we tried anything . Old McCain is a one trick pony and hasn't seen anything that he doesn't want to bomb. Stop focusing on the world and focus on our own problems-is that too much to ask.

Call it Crazy says

The ongoing crisis in Russia and Ukraine has, for some, highlighted deficiencies in President Obama’s foreign policy (or lack thereof).

Ukraine happened because Obama was acting like John Wayne, not in spite of it.

The toppling of the pro-Russian regime was a consequence of CIA and other U.S. government backing for the opposition and the protesters. Putin saw it, rightly, as western meddling in his backyard: meddling which I happen to agree was a good thing.

Perhaps we should return foreign police to the neocons. After all, they have such an excellent track record: as the architects of the end of Sunni rule in Iraq, they are the best friends Iran ever had. But this is just one blemish on their otherwise flawless record of failure.

Last I checked, those space alien quadrillionaires defecate gold-pressed latinum, not platinum.

It'd be nice if the student loan interest deduction didn't phase out. Beyond that, I think the government has probably gone way too far into the student loan business and is over-subsidizing universities, particularly shitty for-profit ones.

SFace says

The biggest change in stock compensation over the decade is the popularity of RSU's, PSU's in lieu of options, especially if you are not the first several hundred seed employees. stock units guarantees a payday (if liquidity hurdle is cleared) albeit you lose the upside of sheer options where the price explodes and you hold say 30K options and benefit on the increment than say 10K units where you benefit from the entire price.

Oh please, I know what the typical rank and file employee in the Valley gets in terms of RSUs. It's not that much. Again, a nice down payment, but not 4 houses. Sometimes it's based on a percentage of your base salary or base salary + bonus, sometimes based on other things. Depends on company.

SFace says

The thing is if you hit on the right company, at the right time, at the right executive level from someone I know.

Right, I already said that. If you are a key employee, possibly big bucks for you. Rank and file, no. We are talking about small numbers of people here, relatively speaking. I know several people like that too -- they are very much the minority.

SFace says

People who made their wealth in the dotcom eras are the buyers the last 10 years in the valley. People who makes their wealth now, will drive demand for their next generation.

They are, but again, only a small number of buyers, relatively speaking. Do they influence the market? Of course they do, but they aren't the whole market.

bgamall4 says

You need to take what I am saying about 9/11 seriously. A real crime by our own leaders has been created there.

You have not indicated evidence?

FDR instigated both theaters. It is common for political leaders to do this to divert attention from their own transgressions. Too bad there is no money in playing it straight.

bgamall4 says

Listen to it carefully, not just the part where he goes on to talk about a false flag against Iran.

Yes regarding the examples they gave but there was nothing said about 9/11?

That is your idea of proof?

It would have taken too much time to take out the floors one at a time. There was not time for the floors to pancake, and if you look at the video above, you will see that there was no pancaking, only a fall of all the floors simultaneously. The floors remained intact all the way to the ground. All the pins were removed at the very same time.

Thanks Bigsby

bgamall4

I put you on ignore before because of too many inanities... Actual experts on the subject are more believable than your ideas.

I will say that before almost every war the leaders have instigated it one way or another. But this one is over the top even for them.

bgamall4 says

Really. So, when the website Bigsby provides says it doesn't know why WTC7 fell, the only way to squirm out of their debunking failure, you believe them?

That in conjunction with the Popular Mechanics article, yup, the rest of the instigation s by FDR, Wilson, LBJ, Lincoln are easily shown

bgamall4 says

And your stupid site, Implosion world concludes they don't know why WTC7 fell. Got that Bigsby? They give up. It looks like a demolition when compared to other demolitions. It starts with the bottom floors imploding and the floors keep their structure as they fall into the footprint. The fall was nearly at the rate of gravity. No pancaking is observed at the real demolition or the WTC7 Side by Side. And so, with all that evidence the cover up website says they don't know why the hell it fell!

Drink some hemlock Bigsby. Do us all a favor.

Unlike you, most people don't claim to know exactly how something happened - they posit logical arguments based on the evidence at hand rather than blind assertions based on others' Youtube videos. The people who wrote that article aren't claiming it to be an explanation of the mechanics of how the buildings collapsed, it relates to what they know about demolition - something you seem to think you are an expert on but which these people actually are. Is that why you seem so worked up in your responses?

bgamall4 says

Hey Bigsby, you said before that there was no New World Order. Hagel says there is. Just another lie on your ledger.

Good grief. He isn't arguing that there is a 'New World Order' the way you mean it you plum.

Reminds me of the Japanese in the late 80s/early 90s...

In all fairness I remember hearing stories about H. W. Bush, how out of touch he was. He hadn't actually personally paid for anything throughout most of his adult life. He didn't know how a credit card worked, nor did he have a personal one. I remember stories, that if you were a new person in his campaigns and various political ventures, you might be stuck with picking up the tab, until you could be reimbursed.

This was a topic at the time, because here he was campaigning for the Luxury tax, the very tax that killed a South Florida billions of dollars a year Boat and high end cars industry.

Having said that, he sure seems more like a Bush every day.

Awesome. Send them to Orange County.....Newport Beach is still a bargain compared to San Francisco.

Indeed, related to the thread is this article - where do you think these Chinese are going to go next? : http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303874504579377782536917724

Specifically:

"Last year, Chinese buyers spent just US$439 million in Canada, barely 2% of their investment in 2012, according to Dealogic. Chinese investment in the U.S., meanwhile, almost doubled to US$12.2 billion over the period, and increased by 13% to US$10.2 billion in Australia. Chinese executives say that concerns over State Owned Enterprises are based on a misinterpretation of their motives and organization."

What does that say about the future of China?

The execs are selling?
The rats fleeing the ship?

Heraclitusstudent says

I think it is too early to tell. The number of Chinese "fleeing" still makes up a very, very small percentage of the country. Also, most Chinese people (from mainland China) I see here in the US still have very strong ties, both emotional and financial, to their homeland (naturally). I think it is a myth that the Chinese all want to leave China. After all, it is getting better day by day, while this place is getting worse...

Han says

I think it is a myth that the Chinese all want to leave China.

I didn't mean fleeing China as a home nation.
I meant that they obviously don't think their money can be invested safely in China.

This shouldn't be the case with 7.5% growth in China and 2.5% here.
But apparently that's what they think of the future.

Heraclitusstudent says

I didn't mean fleeing China as a home nation.

I meant that they obviously don't think their money can be invested safely in China.

Well, there was that Bain survey which suggested that a lot of the high net worth individuals want to diversify their holdings a bit outside of China. Their concern was wealth *preservation* as opposed to wealth creation.

That survey apparently also suggested that a large number of these individuals were considering emigrating, but it was quite vague as to what "planning" or "considering" really means. I'm considering a lot of things, but that doesn't mean I'm likely to do them all.

In any case, there isn't that much evidence that a large number of people have fled, as Han said.

The definition of HNWI was $1.6 million (10 million RMB), which isn't really that much money on the low end -- certainly not enough for the legendary "all-cash" non-sense that the realtors claim unless you are investing a ridiculously large percentage of your portfolio that way. Why be a piker here, when you could be a robber baron there?

Yes he is. He is saying that the neocons took the defense department and made it an independent department. Those neocons are connected to the New World Order as much as are the ones who bankrolled it, the Rothschilds and Rockefellers and Warburgs.

If you don't think so, look at the reward Dick Cheney and Rupert Murdoch got with their opportunity with Genie Energy. Look it up you corrupt soul.

At least you managed to avoid writing the word zionist. Just.

They told us they aren't spying on us either, next thing we found out about NSA the hard way. I' just saying, don't trust this government too much. They aren't interested in educated public, they are only interested in their own power and expanding it wherever and whenever possible.
