Is it mostly agreeable that most politicians don’t have the interest of the voting people on their mind 100%? It seems like they do small things for the little guys, but ultimately left/right/up/down whatever their membership is these candidates that make it far enough to be elected to high office have serious commitments that they’ve
already promised to the big money paying their bills..

Is there really any question that all political parties have people that get ‘bought out’? That’s just human nature right, not particular to left or right viewpoints?

That’s gotta be a franchise or partnership of some sort? Maybe it’s just a diff company with similiar name, but there’s a ReadyMix that is a publically traded ticker being RMX

I’ve noticed that anytime I’ve had a hobby.. I would either, or someone would encourage me to try and monetize it.. it seems like it’s a common part of a hobby/business evolution… By not subscribing you’re making a vote that will help in determining what the market things about the subscription service.. that’s how she or anyone would measure it, not by any blowback.. I dont think at least.

For Rich it was a quick experiment as he’s probably very adaptive and flexible in his perpsecitves, and I’m sure how it is now makes more sense from a his perspective… I would think the advantages would be – he’s not on the hook to create content on a schedule which is probably good now that he’s got bigger fish to fry, and additionally any content that he creates can be alive for a lifetime generating PPC/advertising revenue.

I just quit my job recently… so keep your eyes peeled for a blog(nonprofit/non-ad) of my own.. I just bought the new redesigned and incredible Tundra, it will be the powerplant for the trailer that I’m going to buy/travel/live in for the next while.. I am considering documenting that sort of lifestyle since I expect that it will be more common for folks working/contracting in California that realize that owning a house doesn’t make them any more normal or cool. This is still just an idea so it might not happen.. either way, any mention of the blog here would be reciprocated by immediately visible links and massive street cred to piggington.

I had a question here but removed it.. I found the answer on fairways website.

You’re tied up to a huge ball and chain… somoeone threw the ball over, it’s just a matter of how long is the chain? If you can sell without losing much consider yourself lucky and don’t spend much time thinking about it unless you’re comfortable paying for that loan and staying in that house for 10-20 years.

deadzone, if you really did short LEND and NEW – you are probably a few rung up already!

Powayseller is cool.. I think usually if people have others mad at them, then theyre stirring the pot – good in my opinion.. but I checked out her site and I only found one link to piggington tucked away in a long list of links.. seems like this site deserves more credit than that.

Ditto!

I moved from Carlsbad Village to Parents house.. Parents house is awesome and I get to see my rent money go somewhere good. Be careful in Carlsbad there are a few low income areas that have those rent subsidies… as cool as kids are, it kind of sucks to live next to 5 kids in one apartment.

Can I recommend checking out Cardiff by the Sea.. for some reason I’ve always found Cardiff rents to be disproportionately low there..

I wish everyone could move back to their parents.. that would sure accelerate market turmoil.

RE: “winning the superbowl”.. I never said I felt like I won anything, I said I felt like I was on the team that won.. so the feeling I was trying to identify was one of small participation but moreso a rewarding association experience(fellow piggys).

Does this crash present a slam dunk opportunity for anyone? Can you keep your job and stay docuemented-stable so that you’ll be able to get a loan? I personally think there is more opportunity on the back end of this cycle.. When everyone panics and things become oversold, feverish and very predictable(I’d guess in panic times, the trends closer to follow basic human psychology rather than seasonal or other patterns).

How is the tail end of a boom the good one? If someone were to go for leveraged investments say out of the money puts, and they were using something like 50-100k(around a down payment price).. I think what they can get on the back end of this boom is more than they’ll get throughout the entire next boom… If you put 50-100k into those LEND puts as many people were idnetifying as a possibly good investment – you’d have a nice chunk right now.. maybe 500k-1mil… how about letting that sit and earn interest during the inflationary period, and then cashing out 75k in 10 years to buy a house that will get you a inflation paced return.. Maybe someone can slam this if they feel so, I’m just tossing it out as something to think about..

Plenty more excitment to come.. most of my relief and joy is that now there will be attention on this stuff in the media all the way til it hits the bottom… People will be more aware on ths subject through this coverage and we won’t have to spend as much energy in RE 101 and debunking myths(hopefully)… We all know how hard it can be to convince the sheeple of things, at least until the they’ve heard it from their TV then they open up..

I just hit the up for 34 hours mark.. bare with me, but I’d like to participate and toss some ideas out..

…Housing will be stagnant and prices won’t even matter for most people because they are either too busy putting in the 60 hours a week just to pay for interest on their home note and gas costs to and from work or they won’t have the job history/income to get a loan since money will be hard to come by.. there will be no investors in the real estate market since it will be taken over by some new government subsidies.. only people that have chunks of equity looking to trade spots with others in the same position will be buying/selling.. There will be federal socialist programs to start getting middle class used to living in government apartment buildings for discounted but still unaffordable while on unemployment rent..

….Crime will begin to go up, and it’s association with unemployment will reer its head… We will start to see what happens when illegal immigrants and hoodlums do with their time when they don’t have a job and their 9 kids need a place to live…

…Illegal immigrant thing in southern california will further highlight itself in the foreground as mortgages are scrutinized and loan information reconciled by banks looking to clean up/salvage their books.

….People will start to wonder how inflation is so high when cash is so hard to come by.. who moved the free money tree and so on..

….Stock market will be dormant and only those who like watching paint dry or have the pulse of a lizard on a block of ice will have the patience to earn their pennies on small fluctuations..

…There will be mass exodus to the great plains where people can have their unemployment dollar go further.. unemployment benefits can be modified in times of economic turmoil this will allow people to survive for the 5 years they won’t have a job.

Print out a piece of paper with 100 stocks on it that have propsered
over the last 10 years.. next attach it to your dartboard, walk 10 steps back, cover your eyes, turn and throw dart.. there’s your stock to short. If you don’t have a dartboard, you can do a pin the tail on the realtor version of this game..

One consideration.. maybe stay away from the inelastic stuff… they may not drop as much and may in some cases even have an inverse relationship with recession(cigarettes, alcohol and gambling etc)
