That's your argument? None of this could've happened because people can't keep a secret?

Not people. An entire town a priori recruited into a vast conspiracy that requires them to keep life-changing secrets forever with no payoff for them anywhere near equal or exceeding their investments.

How do you know they didn't get paid off? Look at all of the donation pages that spun up before, during and after the shooting...it's estimated that the families received over significant sums of money simply from that. If anything, that disgraces the dead children more than people trying to find out the truth of what really happened. It's not an argument to ignore tangible facts and counter it with simple conjecture.

Here's an article showing how this "tragedy" was leveraged for monetary gain.

I always believe everything the state sponsored media tell me. It would be unpatriotic to question the media organizations owned by our super wealthy rich and influenced by the NSA! What are you, debyne, some kind of anarchist?

Our perceptions aren't nearly as infallible as you may think. Our brains can be fooled using the very same systems they evolved to make sense of the world.

I saw the Facebook page for Victoria Soto RIP, saw the date, created three days before the incident.
The old dude who "took in" some kids for an hour was a member of SAG.
Too many slip ups, sloppy work on a false flag. The kids who were "killed" were taken from kids that went missing over the last five years.

People in power have noticed that when a tragedy strikes that agitates the populace enough, they can pass rights-withholding laws in response. So why wait for a tragedy? Create a fake one with wholly owned media corps and start taking away rights!
It should be noted that the primary component of the gun bill that was tendered in response to the sandy hook false flag was a creation of a national gun owners registry and other information gathering. It was all about keeping tabs on us, the law abiding citizens.

This is what Israel Shahak, translator of the Yinon Plan, a scientist in Jerusalem and a Holocaust survivalist believed. And he is accused of being anti Semitic!

Gary, you still haven't proven to me what is in it for the Zionists. I'm waiting...

You would think if they have a big game plan that they would be much better at executing it, rather than waiting around for the NRA to lobby against them, which is what they did when sensible gun legislation like background checks was proposed.

This conspiracy-theory stuff makes me miss the days of the angle trisectors and circle squarers, who only pestered mathematics professors.

The deep need to to feel (a) privy to knowledge the general population refuses to see; and (b) persecuted, is best worked out through crank mathematics, and not in public forums, where they invariably claim the right to peddle their bullshit while lamenting that nobody is listening to them.

Start a forum on viola da gamba restoration, and these guys will show up.

I take it you have some ideas for the concession stands as well?

How did you guess? Instead of executive boxes, we could lease private sniper nests along the shore line.

The yacht racers could, of course, hire defensive snipers to fire back, maybe sell spots on their boats to sponsor Celebrity Counter-Snipers in a cross-promotional play with the boat sponsor.

Whadaya say?

Good idea! I had been thinking more along the lines of the food offerings, perhaps Cannibal Anarchy branded hamburgers and hot dogs?

The Warren Report answered all your questions? The 911 Commission was an unbiased fact finding body?
The fact that some people make up fabulist stories, to fill in for facts that they know are missing, does not mean that the Govt does not conspire and lie.
In fact these stories help them get away with their lies.
The Pat Tillman story is a tale of conspiracy to lie to the American people for institutional and political gain.
The FBI had prior knowledge in OK City, 93 World Trade, and probably Boston.
And lied about it solely to cover their ineptitude.

Yeah, you bears, just GTFO of investors way!

Meanwhile rents have skyrocketed.
If I had paid attention to your kind I

would be royally f-ed now.

@SubOink - isn't this the anniversary of your purchase? If so, I hope you post that again. I kinda like seeing how much bearish pushback you get on each anniversary...almost as a barometer of where we are in the economic cycle.

LOL -yes it is. And I will post again...when we bought I assumed the market was going to stay flat and would have been comfortable with that but it friggin took off like a rocket from there. Bearish??? Are you kidding me?? Have you checked prices lately??

EDIT: Oh you mean bearish pushback from the perm bears? yes...LOL...

Call it Crazy says

How the fuck are "high prices" a recovery? Would we call it a recovery if gas prices went to $5/gal? Would we call it a recovery if health care costs doubled?

A recovery is when the middle class can afford to buy houses again and have money left over to spend on other things.

We're still in the second Great Depression. Unemployment and underemployment are at historic highs not seen since the peak of this great depression and the prior one. A second bubble would be catastrophic to our economy. When it bursts, it would be far, far worse than the financial collapse of 2007 because of all the debt and the even higher concentration of wealth. Those too-big-to-fail banks are now even bigger than they were in 2007.

Rooting for higher housing prices because you already own a house is like rooting for nuclear war because you want to sell nuclear weapons.

If the wealthy are getting richer and Wall Street is flying high then is must be a 'recovery', what else would you call it? How many kids in this country are hungry?

Don't realtors have standards at all? I thought their licensing required mandatory attendance at courses designed to teach them how to get away with all manner of heinous crimes and deviant acts against nature?

If he can't get away with it, he shouldn't be in the game, loser.

Come on gold keep tanking................

Interesting reaction between yesterday and today. Seems some reality may be setting in.

Oh, there's no need to "dare" me to explain why this period we're in is in fact a housing bubble: All of the classic, well-defined ingredients are all there:

A: Large levels of speculation. As seen even now, a huge percentage of real estate in the Bay Area has and is still being bought up by investors and even investment firms and REITS.

B: Cheap money. The low interest rates that primed and started the last housing bubble have also done the same for the current housing bubble. The difference this time is that interest rates have been kept lower and longer than the last time.

C: A rapid and dramatic increase in prices. Like I said- the value of our house has supposedly gone up about 30% in one year. But just like the last bubble, wages have not gone up by an amount anywhere close to making this increase at all sustainable.

Those are the primary reasons. These are the classic causes of housing bubbles. Deny it all you want. We are in a housing bubble.

I was listening to a gold guy the other day he was saying that a driver on gold is going to be that now that the yuan is going up in value that the Chinese or going to do more of what they have always done which is buy gold.

Uuhh...did you read it?

"In Newtown, there was a significant amount of money collected within 30 days after the event,” said Department of Consumer Protection commissioner William Rubenstein.

"We've determined that there are at least 70 or so entities that we've identified that have collected about $21 million dollars or so,” said Rubenstein.

That's a red marked note too, which is particularly valueable

Umm I don't rent you ridiculous pea brain moron. I bought my house in the fucking 90's.

You want to compare price appreciation between my home in the Richmond in S.F to your shack that you scrapped your pennies together for so that you could be chained for 30 years?

I promise you it will make you look like an utter idiot, but you've already accomplished that quite nicely fuck face

How many of these REALTOR monsters are still at large? Why do we have to wait until they are convicted to get them off of the streets?

Because the law doesn't allow us to shoot them, Tony. :)

Shooting is too good for them. We should cut out their hearts with a spoon.

Investment vs speculation:

http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/09/difference-between-investing-speculating.asp

From that article:
"The main difference between speculating and investing is the amount of of risk undertaken in the trade."

So they are in fact very much one of the same. Thanks for proving my point. Indeed- investing is akin to speculating in that both take risks, and both are made via the assumption and hope of a profit to be had.

Wow: this is news to you?

I don't watch much cable, and I've known he was Gloria's son for years.

You need better news sources.

If a first time homebuyer buys a condo would that be speculating?
Most real estate being held for a long time would be investing. Flippers could be counted as speculators.
