ParticipantI hear from Canadians that the new weekend diversion is to head south for shopping sprees, exchanging their Loonies for the worthless native currency.
On the plus side, it’s good for retailers in border states … the U.S. will make a small profit reselling imported goods, before sending the rest of the money overseas again.

ParticipantMost of us had to pass similar tests in high school, and like naturalized citizens we are free to brain-dump everything the minute the test is over. God bless America!

ParticipantI’m with NSR.
My gut says the bond market is about to hand him is behind.
I have great respect for Bill Gross’ analysis and writings, but every now and then he’s just talking his book.

ParticipantIncrease regulation. Fund it through user fees, i.e. real estate transfer taxes.
Work with local governments to file liens and forfeiture actions against lender-owned nuisance properties, encouraging lenders to rent or sell vacant houses.
But a moratorium? That would kill lending, and go down in history as another nail in the coffin of the great California real estate bubble.

ParticipantBig Volcker fan here …
But there are those who hold him responsible for destroying the U.S. manufacturing sector. I doubt he’ll win any popularity contests south of the border either, as his policies helped precipitate the Latin American debt crisis.
Tight money whipped inflation, but at a high price in unemployment and homelessness. I think that given the unenviable situation, he picked the lesser of two evils. Given the current situation, I can only hope that Bernanke has more than one evil to choose from …
