casagrand is a well known friend of the bears. has been telling the truth about the market for some time now.
yes, the ad is what sickens me. to me this is far worse than just lying and telling folks it is a great time to buy. the ad is manipulating the data to fit the builder’s need to sell homes by creating fear amongst the uninformed that prices are rising once again and you better jump in now.
when merck manipulates and covers up data to fit with their goal of selling vioxx, they get sued. but what about home builders manipulating the housing data in an ad to fit with their goal of selling houses?
