Repo pricing, banks going for the throat

[bearvine]

The Wire IS the best show out there. As many critics have pointed it out, it is the great American novel of our generation. Last 10 chapters, here we go.

BTW as many of you have pointed out, the banks are holding back and do have more inventory.

Not to mention the people out there who owe 600k thanks to the refi’s, had 300k cash, and are now down to 50k cash with their $6k per month payment.

Bear, glad to find a fellow fan, thought I was alone. I was under the impression we have 13 more chapters (at least all the previous seasons were 13). Vo, you’d more than dig it, probably the best writing since, well, you have go back before t.v.

Vo, I have the first few seasons on DVD but with the final season coming up, they are all on loan, everyone is trying to catch up. The Sopranos was a cool show but it’s not even close to the Wire, I suggest you splurge on HBO and if you have digital cable you can watch them all on the “on demand” thing for free, each month there is a different season in the on demand library. You can rent them as well. Buying them will run you about $40 a season on e-bay. Seasons out of order is o.k., season 4 was the best, give it three episodes and I guarantee you will end up watching all 65 hours of the hands down greatest american novel.

Bear, everyone’s been asking for some evidence to support the talk about the banks holding back, most is just conversation, do you have any insight. I can’t understand their logic in not dumping a depreciating asset that has a high carry cost, what’s in it for them. I understand that jow sixpack believes the nesletter from his local realtor about prices bouncing back very soon but I have to imagine that banks have access to to intelligent advisors or at least cable t.v. If they were holding back, I am noticing a couple of repos hitting the market every day just in my zip code and at new lows. If they held back, I’ll bet they are about to give up that stategy very soon.

The Wire– excerpt from a review

David Simon, creator of “The Wire,” is not only a television veteran but also a former journalist who knows jaded from bitter and, one might guess from the downbeat story lines in his achingly realistic drama, a guy who understands the human condition.

No doubt, then, a small part of him must be relishing – nay, enduring – what amounts to more cold truth about life. And especially life in the entertainment business. First, his show – which will go down as arguably the best drama in the history of television – is getting more attention than it ever has. “The Wire” – either because people finally started to listen to a rising chorus of critics or because “The Sopranos” is retired or because pop culture buzz has no discernible reason to it – is the show everybody’s talking about right now.

But it doesn’t matter.

Four million – or 14 million – people could watch the final season’s premiere on Sunday. It doesn’t matter. All 10 episodes will get shown anyway. The war is over. All that confetti can’t hide the wounds it took to get this far.

Second, Simon always felt conflicted when critics called “The Wire” complex and difficult. Those are great attributes in a series. But they scare away viewers. For all you newbies – Season 5 is exquisitely complex and difficult.

And yet, the payoff for getting to Season 5 is greater than the privilege of watching a masterful piece of work, season after season. That’s reward in itself. Season 5 is the culmination of brilliant, nuanced storytelling, exceptional acting and the fearlessness of Simon and his writers from the get-go in telling novelistic stories on television without pandering. When it all ends, that’s the priceless denouement that none of this year’s buzz can buy the latecomers. To get it all, you need to have seen it all.

The plus side is, eventually people will Netflix or buy the DVDs. “The Wire” will be seen. The legacy is already written.
