Cyanide laced hair pomade?

Have him torn limb from limb by massive hirsute lesbians who have been fed a concoction of PCP and anabolic steroids for weeks to work them into a chronic, maniacal, frothing rage.

They can disembowel him with strap ons first.

Hand him to the Fed.

Then, the MHLs can lick the blood streaming from the rending feast out of each others' swollen vulvas and steroid induced enormous clitorises for the televised entertainment of the masses.

Ewwww! I am becoming APOCALYPSerated.

How about pouring gravy on his gonads and tossing him into a room filled with starving dogs.

Why do you hate dogs? Turn him over to Al Qaeda.

Yeah, a thousand VIEWS, and what, three or four people posting, so it's clearly repeated views by the same people. Most everyone who regularly posts on this forum has you on ignore and doesn't see your threads or posts. I was basically the only person left responding to your befuddled reasoning and laughable assertions, but that is now going to end.
Enjoy the remainder of your life and try and find a better hobby.

BlackRock CEO Laurence Fink said Tuesday that the housing market is “ structurally more unsound ” than prior to the financial crisis due to its reliance on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, according to news reports.

True. We need more loan programs, more lenders and less regulations.

Real-estate investor Sam Zell says he expects the Homeownership rate to drop as low as 55% as more people delay marriages.

More renters. Higher rents just round the corner. Buy now.

You forgot to mention this link that was part of the article. That's alright, I did it for you.

Condos are a ripoff. I guess they're ok if someone is lazy don't want to keep up their place, but in a decent condo the HOA fees are greater than the difference in price to a house. Each $100 in HOA is like 25K added to purchase price (minimum, HOAs will go up over 30 years while payments are fixed) and they aren't giving you 100k discount off a SFR. Apartment style condos are considerably cheaper, but then again you can rent something equivalent for significantly less than the payments.

I dunno when I was looking at a place my agent kept trying to push condos but I did the math and it didn't make sense. Likely in SF proper or other high density spots it's different but in the burbs condos suck IMO.

That is a common belief, but keep in mind the association covers a lot of maintenance that you would do anyway, like roof repairs, painting and landscaping.

Loan programs depend on who is willing to lend which are the savers and the risk reward. Currently the FED is screwing around with low rates which skews the risk premium. Adding Govt just screws the market even more.

As far as regulations... regulate who ? Banks ... im sure the left like that... but real regulations have not been implementated with regards to the Realtors ...

"1. Affordability is really, seriously good.

The median 2013 first-time home buyer had income of $64,400, according to the National Association of Realtors. With a clean balance sheet, Bankrate.com says that buyer can afford a $259,672 home. The national median house price is $201,700."

One should look at markets and see affordability is screwed in the West. National numbers as such mean little.

Did you read the article??? If someone can't afford to buy a house, they buy a condo. What happens if they can't afford to buy the condo?

Buy a trailer or rent an apartment?

They continue renting.

The West, along with NY has always had a pathetic affordability rate. Prices still keep rising. Compared to historical levels the West has seen a jump in affordability rates.

Precisely correct. We have over 6 million new renter households since 2007. And considering how both rents and home prices increased, it's going to be very difficult for the renters to save up for downpayment. Regrettably, many of them will end up renters for life.

Unless they want to make a real sacrifice and rent something small and cheap to save up for an FHA down payment.
But they won't, because almost no one voluntarily steps back into a lower standard of living even if it's for a temporary period.

Exactly, for example going from washer/laundry and central AC/heat in the unit to a place with lack thereof is psychologically very difficult to do and most people would resent it.

Yea, what would their friends the Jones say. How humiliating.

Heh! Same thing happened in 2006-2007 when the only willing buyers left were bottom feeders

I can't really justify wasting a bullet on this sub-human while Sam Zell walks on this planet.

Don't flatter yourself Gary. If you keep track of a thread, you'll notice that you can quite easily flick back and forth to it hundreds of times over a period of time. It's obvious that hardly anyone bothers to view your threads simply by looking at the number of people who comment. The number who post on this forum seems to be little more than mid double figures or so. The regulars even less. Thirty-six of those have you on ignore. Look at the number of comments on your blog. There are zero. Nobody (except a couple of your fellow conspiracists) is paying any serious attention to what you are saying. You are a source of amusement from time to time.

Anyway Gary, as you are quite possibly the most paranoid and laughably deluded person I've ever come across, I guess we'll both benefit from giving each other a wider berth in the future.

Stewart was good.

How could there have been runs on the bank?

Glass Steagal would not have made any difference.

AIG was in no danger of going under, they are an insurance co with rock solid assets, a small part of AIG would have gone under but by no means the whole company.

Same with GE, Jeff Imelt would have lost his bonus, so what.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley should be gone.

But the main thing that is wrong is that Geitner pulled the same chicken little charade that Paulson pulled.

The thing they should have done was NOTHING. Let the banks go under so what.

The interview only confirms my opinion that gietner is the ultimate weasel. At least paulson was in your face screw you we are doing it anyway, not a boot licking apologist. Stand up be a man and admit you screwed over everyone but the bankers you mealy mouth shifty eyed little schmuck,

The thing that should have been done is nationalize the bankrupt banks, sell off the anything of value, and put the bankers in jail.

Most amazing was Geithner's performance during his confirmation hearing, when questioned about what the hell he was doing as NY Fed President during the Wall Street crime spree. Like the bored ruling class bureaucrat that he is, Geithner nonchalantly replied that he didn't see his job to be that of a regulator, thereby contradicting the very responsibilities defined on the Fed's web site.

And Congress enthusiastically endorsed him.

For all our feathered friends saying that there's no manipulation:

I do like Stewart, but he's more of an entertainer, not a journalist. He's still mostly mainstream idealogue.

If you really, really want to get an understanding of this read Neil Borofsky's book. Bailout: An Inside Account of How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street Barofsky was the ig for tarp trying unsuccessfully to keep paulson and geitner from simply giving the money away even to people who didn't want it. Reading his book will make you want to turn ApocolyseFuck loose on timmy boy to do his worst.

bob2356 says

You imply that Stockman's book is not worth reading.
It is, it is 700 pages, covering the meltdown and the events that created the situation in the first place. This from a guy who was on Reagan's cabinet and has served as a congressman and a investment banker. Mish endorsed the book and it is also endorsed by Austrians.

If you think that Geitner is the only or main player, you have more to learn.

I'm not saying the book you endorse is not worthwhile, just that Stockman's book is really good.

It does no good to torture sociopaths. They won't learn anything from that, and worse, the torturer incurs psychic damage. Simple removal from the planet is safest and most effective.

I don't think he is the bad guy. I see him just like our president(s), a face for the public to vote for, while someone else is pulling the strings.

It's why we have a 2 party system, entrenched oligarchy that owns everything. Take one asshole out, another one comes in his place and does the same things while promising "hope and change".
