I meant on the front page of yahoo.
Even on the front page of google news there are no serious headlines. No one complaining about housing or mortgages. Or complaining about rising oil or inflation. NO one complaining about rising food. NO one complaining about gas prices or national security, border security.
The only people complaining about those issues are elite trader bars who have been wrong since um..2002. News media doesn't report it cause it isn't a big deal. Americans like to spend lots of money in food and gas. We have no problems with inflation. No huuuge lines for gas like in the early 70's. Opec doing a good job.
Need to make more money. Need more funding. More upstart and venture funding. More money inflows. Need more wealth creation.

Obviously if you do a search for just 'housing' you will find stories, but none of them are serious enough to make it to the font page of yahoo news.

You call massive? It hardly reaches over the previous low.
You are still facing a loss of 700 YM points, 3500 dollars to recupe before you make any profit again.

I often notice that bears will give a lot of personal anecdotal resons for being short such as Booo hooo hooo it costs me $100 to fill up my car casue oil is too high.boo hooo hoo food prices are too high...boo hoo hoo I cant make my house payment boo hoo hoo there is too much inlfation boo hoo hoo my job is being outsourced boo hoo hoo rich are getting richer boo hoo hoo borders aren't secure boo hoo hoo ron paul won't win boo hoo hoo I cant make ends meat
To make money in the markets (as I do) you have to be purely analytical and emotionally detached. You must look at everything in terms of what wallstreet wants, not from your own personal bias. The market doesn't care that gas prices are too high or you cant make ends meat.
