I was hoping that drive through ATMs would feature an archery range in which you get one shot per $10 deposited and the target is a banker. This would encourage Americans to save more and maybe shorten the archery lines at Renaissance Fairs.

I can provide the bullets. $20 per bullet. Every $10 dollars you deposit, you MUST buy at least 1 bullet.

This way your entire deposit is $0 dollars like I want it and you owe me double your deposit as well.

I'm also not afraid of you cockroaches. You're stupid slaves. I will never be killed by any of you.

Yes.

"In general, the pagan world, both Roman and Greek, had a relaxed attitude towards the concept of suicide, a practice that was only outlawed with the advent of the Christians, who condemned it at the Council of Arles in 452 as the work of the Devil."

But this is today, and since they are cowards from even the thought of living life as a 'peasant'. I suggest a whole gaggle of new reality TV shows documenting the bankers suicides!

But yes, absolutely, there should be readily available open windows.

Seriously? who cares about mortgages? America is cash rich.

All I know is we've been looking to buy in south orange county for several months, now. Month after month, we see the same homes. Not a lot of movement. A few new ones get added here and there.... some disappear from the listings only to return to the MLS a week or two later. If people are buying/listing in south county, I see no evidence of it in the 4br, 3000+ category. That's okay. I'm a fairly patient person.

Here, another article, same theme, different spin:

"Buying a home is no longer a no-brainer, whether you are buying as an investment or to live in it."

"There's more risk than there was."

Of similar sentiments.

WOW! The UNtrustworthy are certainly in control of what information is apparent to the people!

Say hey! This was in the Wall Street Journal on March 30, 1999. Note "... how much it will buy."

Holy cow/interesting/compelling ...!

And where is it up to date??? Right here ... see the first chart shown in this thread.
Recent Dow day is Monday, February 24, 2014 __ Level is 103.5

WOW! It is hideous that this is hidden! Is there any such "Homes, Inflation Adjusted"? Yes! This was in the New York Times on August 27, 2006:

Something just doesn't sit right with me about this whole thing.

We'll probably demolish the White house when Obama leaves. It's the new way to move on past national tragedies.

Great, you mean to tell me that the piece of busted up acoustic ceiling tile that bears an uncanny likeness to Alex Jones that I've been bidding up on ebay is a FAKE?

Fuck!

Lol, watch America continue to outsource itself, thinking that's the solution to cutting costs. Service based economy, military economy, borrowing economy, and throw away society, a sign of what is to come one day in the land of more.

Lol2, I don't have money to pay interest to the banks, property taxes, insurance, and ever expensive service based economy upkeep. I'm stretched, I don't care how low rates are. Income went flat and I sold immediately 4 years ago, renting and putting more money into my pocket vs. a house that does not rise in value, just sucks money.

Former Libertarian here, and it's all PoliSci college bullshit that is little different than Marxism.

Except your regular tagline, I do not see anything of substance in this post. You have to work hard if you want converts.

Vicente says

like Rick Santelli or Rand Paul they are "kind of Libertarian" except.... well except when it matters and then all the theory bullshit goes right out the window because they need money.

Citations please? Not that care deeply about what they think anyway.

Bank of America is rated a 5 out of 10 for profitability and financial strength.

It has a F score of 5 (out of 10).

Just checking the general sentiment here on PatNet.

You have to ask yourself, what would Jesus do? I think he'd fire the bankers from cannons mounted on the tenth floor.

Hmmm...lending business going down? I guess rich are getting better off than banks that they don't need banks to loan em the money.

LOL

I ain't buying a house until they are giving them away for free when I sign up for a checking account.

Yeah, let's screw the banks. Stop borrowing. Let em come begging to you to take their money. :)

This means rate is gonna drop soon on top of dropping sales and prices. Drops, drops, drops everywhere.

youre wrong because you claimed prices would skyrocket in 2014, that hasn't happened idiot

concord has been on a decline since september and inventory never bottomed like you claimed during the winter

when are you going to stop being wrong asshole?

Is true that price began to stabilize since Sep last year. Is still unclear whether what will happen in 2014 since activity normally picks up in late Spring. Is still early to tell the direction.

Wow, is it the 31st of December already? Time flies.

bgamall4 says

I can't see them wanting the total destruction of main street.

I think you are missing prospective.

They are blind to the damage they are causing simply because of greed.

Giant scam, that's what I see it as. Someone is selling virtual currency, and it's legal.... obviously our government isn't that clueless, so I think they are complicit in this somehow.

Why else let some scam like that operate?

Bigsby says

what changed your mind from your claimed neutral position in 2009 to extremely negative at the beginning of 2012?

Call it Crazy says

Markets and situations

So you keep saying. Unfortunately that is not an explanation. What changed about the markets and situations between 2009 and the beginning of 2012 to move you from your claimed neutral stance to your current persona of rabid perma-bear? Or would you just like to admit that wasn't actually your view back in 2009?

House prices slowing down: Case-Shiller

Shiller must be wrong. Anyone who is against home price increase should be wrong!

jojo says

Capitalism requires continuous growth everywhere and in all directions without limit. This is in direct conflict with our own limits as a society and civilization. For example, capitalism requires an ever growing population. This conflicts with population growth in many western economies ; population growth is slowing in the US, and has reversed in Japan). This is a fatal flaw of the system. One of many.

What brand of "capitalism" is this you speak of?

Creative destruction, and bankruptcy/failure would allow capitalism to function into perpetuity, wouldn't it? Without perpetual growth, in population, or otherwise

You should be eliminated.

As was predicted by many on Patnet

What kind of mother would entrust her children to a death cult that claims to worship a dead guy, complete with sculptures of the tortured corpse all over the place? She's lucky the kids survived at all.

She must have been putting her sons in open ass chaps whenever they went to visit.

Clearly, the mother should be burned at the stake and her money and property donated to the Church she defiled.

When you belong to a church, you need to play by the rules. 1. Church: always right, give all your worldly possessions so you can live in glorious spirituality without distractions 2. You: always wrong, revel in the guilt and masochism.

curious2 says

complete with sculptures of the tortured corpse

It gets better. In fact - and here I wonder why ApocalypseFuck isn't Catholic - each week you get to eat pieces of the dead guy, and God fucked the dead guy's mother.

But don't worry: the dead guy is coming back any day now, even though he's been coming back for almost 2000 years, any day now.

I so enjoyed watching Catholics laugh at Heaven's Gate, for claiming there's a spaceship behind a comet. They just couldn't get over how silly it would be to believe such a thing. That Sunday, they went to church to eat more of the dead guy whose mother God fucked - but she's still a virgin.

Ceffer says

Yes. Women are always defiling the sacred church in this way. That's why they can't be priests. Everyone knows that.

In reference to the top redfin graph above from doctorhousingbubble.com

"Last year, six weeks into the year something like 51 percent of Redfin customers were signing offers. For 2014, it is down to 8 percent. Since California is heavily represented in the 19 areas covered, you can easily see that something is turning in the market. It definitely isn’t the weather since fall and winter felt more like a massive spring. Unfortunately sun doesn’t pay the bills otherwise Arizona and Nevada would be the wealthy states in the nation."

http://www.doctorhousingbubble.com/polar-vortex-real-estate-california-2014-sales-and-prices/

So for year over year comparisons it sure doesn't look good for the housing bulls.

evilmonkeyboy says

Last year, six weeks into the year something like 51 percent of Redfin customers were signing offers. For 2014, it is down to 8 percent.

This is incorrect. The Redfin graph is showing YoY growth. 8% growth is still growth over last year, which was a crazy up year. The graph is showing that 2014 is off to a faster start than 2013.

That being said, Redfin needs to account for inventory levels. Sales numbers in isolation don't tell the full story. Redfin alludes to this with the following quote: "In February and March, we expect low inventory will keep sales volume suppressed to about 10 percent below 2013 levels. "

The Fed's probably created Bitcoin. It's the same game, just another name. Hang on to your physical gold.

Call it Crazy says

Nope, you're reading it wrong... It DIDN'T say YoY growth.

Look at the chart. Now look at the Y-axis. It states "YoY Growth".

A deity worthy of the name would have *skull-fucked* the dead guy's mother.

He did, as foreplay.

So who's more of a sick fuck? These Pedophiles or a Satanic Finance Mobster like me?
