If you wrote that in a script they would say it was unrealistic. Classic. O.k. My version, also true: I go to my 20 year high school reunion a couple years back at the height of the boom, all the hotties are somehow connected to the R/E industry, all doing well and I remember admiring some of the things they bought with their riches, since the top portion is visible, I’m human. For the past few years I get these spam e-mails trying to sell me real estate in whatever town they live/work in, I’ve relocated so none of it applies to me but I read them when I’m bored to see what the local koolaid is for their towns. In the last three months they have all abandonded their r/e sales or mortgage gigs but the spam mail keeps coming. One is selling monavie vitamin drink (looks to be a pyramid scam), another is selling some bootcamp workout class and another some skin care crap, all are MLM, I guess it’s in their blood. I Love opening the e-mails now, I’m betting before 2008 is out one of them switches to some form of amatuer milf internet porn. A buddy of mine and I have a bet going as to which one goes first.

February 22, 2008 at 1:41 AM #157461gdcoxParticipantSlightly off-topic, but catalyzed by your observations above, you have to remember that part of the population, something like middle single digits, are sociopaths. That is they are born without the ability to have a conscience. Not surprisingly , they are well represented in sales and , I suspect, amongst politicos. Anyway they gravitate to different parts of the economy over time and you know one place where they concentrated in the last few years. It is big shame because their personable ways hide the lie and when they decamp the real , dependable professionals in the sector they affected have their group reputation shot to pieces by association.

February 22, 2008 at 7:45 AM #157481GoUSCParticipantSpeaking about experiences I was having a sandwich at a deli on Convoy (next to Pancake House). Anyway I am sitting there minding my own business but I can’t help but overhear the conversation going on on the next table. Three guys sitting together talking about their homes. One guy is in the process of foreclosure. One guy is thinking about short selling and one guy is renting (and probably laughing inside to both the other guys).
I am noticing this more and more. The obvious truth is that A LOT of people are in way over their heads and this thing is hardly close to being over.
