not worth the read... kid went to work in mom and dad's mortgage business. and that makes him a freaking economist?

In other words, you can't necessarily discredit what he is saying, so you discredit him? Where does he claim to be an economist? BTW, it doesn't take an "economist" to observe the obvious.

As this interesting time in housing continues, it becomes more and more clear how I sold before the bubble, and bought so much at the bottom, and have now made and will continue to make so much money: My compitetion, people like Yupsuck and tanyerbottom are so much less intelligent than me!

thanks for being you, it makes being me easier!

You can enjoy your success and make your points Roberto, but there's no need to be an asshole about it. Buying a bunch of cheap homes in Phoenix doesn't magically transform you into a raging intellectual. You might be, but not for that reason.

As far as the hysterical shrieking of Robertoaribas goes .. always consider this....

I believe that my 144 IQ would trounce you.

Roberto is in it too deep to have an open mind. If he had an open mind he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Oh come on. He's bought a bunch of cheap houses in Phoenix and is renting them out for far more than his PITI. He's quids in. It would hardly make any difference to him if prices collapsed in Phoenix (and considering they are still relatively cheap even with recent rises, it doesn't exactly look likely). If you really think he should be having sleepness nights given his situation, then you are living in la-la land.

Wow...resorting to a bunch of unwarranted childish name-calling, being an arrogrant prick (may as well return the name-calling) and taking pleasure in the supposed misfortune of people you don't even know or ever will know? All in the same post?Roberto clearly has issues. Not to mention no class whatsoever. I'd hate to be one of his tenants.

Just remember - karma. And the fact that Roberto can purchase all of Maricopa County and beyond, but he ultimately "can't take it with him". You don't see Warren Buffett going around boasting about his fortunes, although he certainly could - it's called humility and class.

Roberto: This post wasn't about nor intended to be all about your vast real estate holdings in greater Phoenix. I certainly wasn't inquiring about them and really could not care less. You have already established your legendary status in your own mind, been the star of far too many of your own posts and have hijacked too many others, including this one.
