3 former bunnies attacked by Troll. Troll torn limb from limb.

Troll eventually defected by the $700 kitten.

or ARM from ARM?

I need to work on a script.

I like it, I can see the marquee posters now.

There are tons of rich people out there, and they aren’t living paycheck to paycheck with I/O loans.

Agreed.
BUT, some investors delude themselves by overleveraging and thinking that they are rich. Rich people will buy prime RE whenever they want (hey even pay cash (real cash, not borrowed cash)) a shrewd investor will buy prime RE when the property can be bought below value, or fundamentals give high expectation of price growth.

AntiTroll: What do you consider "rich" to be?

I thought rich means 1M+ of diversified passive income per year, no?

I wouldn't debate the point too much. Any logical arguments only hurt MP's brain. And since he's already intellectually handicapped any further damage can only make him more obnoxious.

MP fights with most of his brain cells tied behind his back.

Is MP the AntiTroll?

That is so gross. Can someone provide an "artist's impression" of this troll? We need an artwork for the movie poster.

Is MP the AntiTroll?

He is the anti-Chr...
No, that would be giving him too much credit.

I'm sad you don't like my imagery. I'll keep working on it.

AntiTroll: What do you consider “rich” to be?

Actually I prefer the question.
"What do you consider wealthy to be?"

Answer: Independance.
To be able to do the things you like to do. This is different for most people.
For some people it means cash, others running their own business, having children, being healthy etc

For me. To be happy, enjoy life, good food,enjoy others company, doing things I enjoy, raise my family. Money isn't a driving factor in my life,(it does help though) as I try not to live beyond my means and try to have realistic expectations.

What about yourself?

I’m sad you don’t like my imagery. I’ll keep working on it.

No, I like the imagery... A troll is supposed to be gross, right?

Wealth to me means being able to live life on your own terms regardless of what's going on with the outside world.

Is MP the AntiTroll?
Please.... don't hurt my feelings.

No, I like the imagery… A troll is supposed to be gross, right?

I'm not sure. But our troll is gross.

Yes, the AntiTroll is way too smart to be MP.

Is MP the AntiTroll?

Zephyr, AntiTroll is a friend. MP is a troll. There is no similarity between them whatsoever.

AntiTroll: What do you consider “rich” to be?

Oh, and one important thing to me is:-
I'm debt free with cash in bank.

We will all be rich producing The Beverly Hillbillies: Attack of the Troll.

Sorry, must close the tag.

We have to make sure central casting uses the real troll. Otherwise it just wouldn't be gross enough.

But if we use the real troll, the crew itself will be in danger. Can we just use CGI?

Danger of what? Fits of hysterical laughter?

Hysterical laughter can be fatal. Let's hope that it will be a hit in the box office so that I can finally buy a house in Marina. I can make fresh marinara sauce using ingredients from my owned garden.

Hmmm... like the whole Beverly Hillbillies/Troll movie angle. How about "Malibu Mobilehome Bunnies vs. the Creature from Box Canyon" ?

Maybe if you're really lucky, you can buy a mobile home and put it on a plot of land in the Marina.

After all, the only place to put a mobile home is in a prime location.

Nothing is more prime than the space directly in front of MP's garage. I can charge a toll for passage.

And to change locations you will need a prime mover.

I vote to purge.

Have any of you heard of this guy or read his book?

http://www.realestatetiming.com

I have not read the book before but I doubt it has anything that we have not discussed yet. I have read two housing crash books before and was deeply disappointed. Shiller's book is the best one yet.

MP claims to be an Ibanker. Personally, I think he uses this and other sites for entertainment. That's why I vote to evict. He's not here to make any valid points, he's here to provoke. Any attention we give him makes him happy. Actually Peter P's suggestion to purge is even better. Let's erase all proof he was ever here. That'll annoy the hell out of him.

SF Chronicle today:

Soon-to-be Obsolete Floor Brokers becoming Real Estate Agents

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/08/05/BUGKBDQGHQ34.DTL

If this isn't yet one more nail in the coffin then I don't know what is! Talk about getting into the party late.

Well, there is not much activity in the stock options market nowadays. Volatility is so low. Now this former floor trader will have to compete with former bunnies. And they will be attacked by the troll!

Wow, SactoQt, you've really turned hawkish on MP! I thought you liked his ability to inspire Primetroll?

Excerpt from above article:

Broker Kevin Holt, 41, a San Francisco native who has spent 15 years at the Pacific Exchange, plans to trade from his home in Vacaville and sell real estate after the floor disappears, although he'll probably keep on working there until he's booted out the door.

"A lot of us are going into real estate," he said. "We make good money on the floor. We'll make good money in real estate. We're just not regular-job type of people. I couldn't see anybody down there going to work 9-to-5. Not anybody."
