4plexowner and bugs are two of my favorites posters.
The other Pollyannas are the ones who are several steps behind simply reacting to the events.
Or posters who irrationally rail against government interference, but when things get tough warn to “be careful what you wish for” (as if wishing otherwise would be helpful) then want a government bailout.
bugs is one of the few who saw the millions of foreclosures coming and large price drops in 50% range.
Thinking back it’s funny that some posters confidently claimed that Fannie and Freddie were solid institutions. 1 million foreclosures was derided as “gloom and doom, gun and ammo.” We are likely to have 10 million foreclosures before this is over.
