Hurricane Katrina is going to wreak havoc with Natural Gas and Crude supplies out of the gulf of Mexico. New Orleans is 6 feet below sea level. They say it could take 6 months to pump the water out of New Orleans which is home to Henry Hub. New Orleans is already pumping (in good weather)...

Another brilliant statement from the head "Realtor" (cheerleader).... "If you paid your mortgage off, it means you probably did not manage your funds efficiently over the years," said David Lereah, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors and author of "Are You Missing the Real...

I wouldn't expect anyone to put a great deal of work in responding to you. Doing so most always elicits personal comments about the posters "mental illness", etc. As far as the aerospace "leaving" comment...the facts as I see them go something like this. Although many did blame aerospace as...

Very true, we all can see the tree branches loaded with fruit...but it's not quite ready to pick. Ben here could keep the party going another inning!

Many others share your opinion (as I do also). This link is to a great article showing that a guy has dumped over 1 million shares of a home builder while arguing against the premise of a housing bubble. Much like the Toll bros themselves. Read down, especially towards the bottom....best...

Steve, you get a very different take than I do about Roach's comments. I see carefully worded plain English, all of Steven Roach's commentary is like that. His contrarian economist commentary is excellent, insightful, and gives contrast and balance to whitewash economists like NAHB's David...

Fannie Mae exec comments (covering his ass...) http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B5A56987D-4CB1-4CE9-B082-2DFE1CAA54F6%7D&siteid=google "The possibility of a housing bust has "risen sharply in certain parts" of the U.S., thanks to a number of conditions including easier...

Roach would indeed be wrong if he said houses might become worthless. But you know he said no such thing. Roach speaks of market liquidity, and in a down real estate market transaction volume dries up. The remaining sellers who just have to sell accept much less. In Los Angeles the last real...

http://www.lewrockwell.com/englund/englund24.html "Houses Are Consumer Durables, Not Investments by Eric Englund Over time, under a 100% gold standard, a house would gradually depreciate in value. A house, after all, is nothing more than a durable consumer good – it is a capital...

Jem, I for one have enjoyed your posts and wish you luck in whatever your future choices are. But I think this market gives one pause...(1) Greenspan has just sent the "guidance" letter to banks and S & L's about their lending practices. (2)The yield is narrowing, this may tighten lending as...

I think Wal-Mart is probably the most visible presence of Chinese made goods because of their marketing and pervasiveness...they are everywhere. And most everything in their stores, it seems anyway, is made in China. But make no mistake, Wal-Mart is just a fraction of China's output. The...

To me this really is the whole issue. When GM comes out with cars like the Malibu Maxx or the Pontiac Aztec...and this is their only answer to extremely well crafted vehicles like the Camry, the Accord, or the Highlander and Pilot, they are doomed. The management of GM, if they had any...

Interesting news...this fund manager has been one of the biggest real estate bulls for a number of years. Makes sense, sell into strength after having bought weakness a number of years ago. Booking a nice profit for his shareholders too. Smart money sneaks out the backdoor, while the dumb...

Only when all the real estate bears show angst, frustration, and throw in the towel...and all the bulls have exhausted their kinky mortgage options can this thing actually crash.

Looks like Bruce Toll is quietly selling off a "little" more of his stock while the exit door is big enough to fit through. Perhaps the kids need braces or the garage needs paint? http://xml.10kwizard.com/filing_raw.php?repo=tenk&ipage=3503803

I saw this posted the other day on this topic...the shoeshine boy has spoken! Perhaps now the runaway bride can become a realtor? OWP http://thehousingbubble.blogspot.com/2005/05/so-long-playboy-hello-real-estate.html#comments "Now they're not just ringing a bell, they're sounding off...

I thought this article's point, that "excess gearing" might contribute to "financial instability", was a good one. OWP http://www.ajc.com/search/content/auto/epaper/editions/sunday/business_2409111fb2f7a1091022.html Expect a price collapse in housing market Donald Ratajczak - For the...
