ParticipantThank goodness that esmith posted the definition of ‘FB’ on urbandictionary.com. π I’m a bit slow sometimes.
Anyway… I’m starting to get curious about how the various financial institutions will react to this situation. I was in Sunnyvale last weekend and the Downey Savings branch had a big sign saying that they’re directly selling repos with great loan terms – essentially passing the existing loan off onto a new customer at who knows what price. Is it just me or is this form of direct marketing a new twist to this saga?

ParticipantHoly crap, is it just me or is the aticle linked in the original post one of the most biased piles of poop that I’ve seen in a long time.
democratic-led congress
democrat asking for help
goes on and onTotally ignores any relevant factual information that doesn’t support an assault on the Democrats. WTF???
Consider this – the Republicans today filibustered the Troop Rest bill, preventing our nation’s finest from being able to enjoy the same treatment that our veterans of every other war were offered. So King George gets to treat our soldiers like slaves, because, well – they are King George’s personal slaves!
WTF???

ParticipantWish the commute wasn’t so long…prolly a good idea to do a lap ’round Balboa – just because. π

ParticipantDiego – I have to apologize in advance if this sounds needlessly harsh…but I think that it’s still valid nonetheless.
If employees that are heavily invested in their own company don’t pay attention when the CEO dumps his stock, then it’s hard to feel too bad for them. The writing is on the wall clearly, in USGovt approved disclosures.
Maybe I’m just a not-nice person, but I don’t feel sorry for someone who gets themself into a jam when they have no business being where they were in the first place.
Any, and I mean ANY, investment tv_show-book-magazine-whatever will counsel that diversification is likely to be the best hedge against risk. For anyone to be heavily invested in their own public corporation is a risk that noone advises.
Caveat emptor!

ParticipantI just can’t help it…this snark is just too fun.

ParticipantAnother of those sad facts of life things…
Expensive, non-management, employees tend to go before anyone else. That is, unless one of the MBAs has decided to move the remaining shards of domestic productivity offshore. Then the expensive guys get to train a whole new bunch of folks how to make widgets before they get axed.
Moral of the story: DON’T GET AN ENGINEERING DEGREE IN THE USA!

ParticipantImagine if 10% of homeowners wanted to sell.
I’d say that 30%+ of the houses within a half-mile of my current rental have for sale signs out front as of this morning. Within a single block, the rate jumps to over half.
I must need better deodorant or something. π

Participantnext thing you know, bush will decree farms use gatorade to water their crops…
It’s got electrolytes.
So true…cause who’d want to put that stuff in the toilet on their food?

Participanteye-pod – have you got anything better to contribute to the discussion than some weak personal attack towards me for merely pointing out the blatantly obvious? That you choose to characterize it as ‘political’ only underscores the silly yet nasty intent.
On topic…
I think comparisons to precious metals are somewhat silly. Once the specialty PGMs are taken out of the equation (Pd an Rh that both have unique industrial uses) then the average doubling of the precious metals in the last handful of years hardly compares to the quadrupling of housing values during the same time.
Lookup ‘Johnson-Matthey’ for the definition of the acronym.
