you really need a caption for this?

I believe we've just experienced a major tectonic event and no one noticed. DataQuick (which, for newbies, is an SCAL-based RE market research firm) has just release a sales & price report that omitted their obligatory "Indicators of market distress are still largely absent". In its place, they have substituted the following:

"Indicators of market distress are still at a moderate level. "

For DQ to replace their beloved motto with the above, things must be looking REALLY ugly from the trenches. After all this is DQ we're talking about. If a massive asteroid were about to strike the earth and DQNews was covering it, they would probably issue a press release that said, "Interesting celestial phenomenon to appear in the sky today. Indicators of public panic still at a moderate level." This statement is basically the DQ equivalent of screaming "FIRE! Run for your lives!!".

Add to this recent admissions by David Lereah that prices might actually fall in some regions, and you have all the ingredients for a true Apocalypse. This, coming from the Permabull Pollyanna himself. Cats living with dogs kind of stuff. What is this world coming to?

Discuss, enjoy...

Jon,

Well, maybe an "above average Joe", but honesty is helpful in a relationship unless one is extremely good at denial and pounded out an advantageous prenup (or managed to avoid prenup entirely) ahead of time.

FAB,

Thanks for the advice. If I ever go on the dating market and decide to aim for someone rich, that's certainly something to keep in mind. Right now, my short and not rich boyfriend is worth a lot to me as is - I'd say at least as much as a dishonest cheater with a networth of $25M, probably more like $50M, depending on how much time he pulls away from fantasy sports to study for LSAT and/or GMAT.

uh-oh, birth control to ginger tom...

I think 100 wives is illegal, because it falls under the category of Cruel and Unusual Punishment.

LOL

For the wives or for the husband?

One Hundred Mothers-in-law. You work it out.

HidingintheBronx Says: Formal education is just a test of what you know about the professor’s knowledge. You can’t put anything in to it. That would be impossible.

You're equating grades with formal education. In a university setting, you have an opportunity to study whatever useful thing you wish. Compared to normal life, at college the resources are easily available and you have the requisite time to explore them thoroughly.

Most young people (including myself at the time) just do the minimum in college, which consists of learning the professor's selected material. That is a fault of the individual, not of the university or its faculty. Besides, much of the information in undergrad courses is fairly universal, at least in engineering. Newton, Maxwell, Gauss and Ohm didn't lend themselves to interpretation. Courses in history, literature and such are probably more subject to the teacher's perspective, as there is no hard truth.

@FormerAptBroker: I thought the requirements for a trophy wife were hot, young and... uh, hot. If she's got a degree, organizational skills and beauty, then she's not just a trophy. She would be like a BMW 7-series, expensive and flashy but still of good utility. A trophy wife is like a Dodge Viper in a state full of potholes--you know it's just for show.

HARM,

Could you erase all my comments since October 15th, 2006 at 8:59 am.

Sorry about the bother.

99   HARM   2006 Oct 17, 7:31pm  

Done.
