Sounds like you are a “player” who is worthy of an free pass.
No hate here, by the way. I, like you, am doing my part to clean up the real estate profession. If I happen to save a few outlandish articles for posterity, then I will be able to share them in the future so that others don’t follow the advice of these snake oil salesmen again. What’s so wrong with that? Check out “BULL! 144 Stupid Statements From the Market’s Fallen Prophets” by Greg Eckler & L.M. MacDonald for a fun read that would not have been possible if history had not been kept on some of the stupid things Jim Cramer, Mary Meeker, Suze Orman, Lou Dobbs, and even Alan Greenspan said during the final hours before the stock market meltdown of 2000-2003.
My bitterness stems from my own inability to convince good friends that buying last year and THIS year were mistakes. I know that they are screwed now and I do partially blame the statements made by David Lereah, LAY, and other local pundits in influencing their decisions. That’s it. I could give a darn whether I ever own another house here in San Diego. I’m just tired of all the lies I read every day. Nuff said?
