“Two- thirds of student loans are held by people under the age of 40, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, blocking millions of them from taking advantage of the most affordable housing market on record”[/quote]This is just asinine! most affordable housing market on record?? You’ve got to be kidding me!
One cannot find anything decent under half a million these days which is probably 6X-8X the median income compared with a historic 3X-4X and they’re calling it the most affordable? In addition job security is much much lower these days than it was in the past.
Now, people will tout historic low interest rates but the average homeowner stays in their home 7-10 years and then what? 7-10 years down the road interest rates are most certainly going to be much much higher. So you’re going to by a 100% overvalued home at low interest rates, your monthly payment may be the same but what happens when you need to sell in 7-10 yrs to move up? Or perhaps people think they will live in the same home for 30 years? This whole low interest rate argument is the most foolish thing I have ever heard yet people still blindly chant it.[/quote]
I know Desmond that is not what he wrote.

zeek, Thanks I try not to make sense, or I don’t really have to try……[/quote]
If you don’t expect yourself to make sense, that’s fine. But to expect others to make sense (which you certainly appear to) while not expecting yourself to make sense…doesn’t make sense. Which makes sense, since you already said you don’t make sense. Make sense?[/quote]
Zeek,
Just getting discussions going. What really does not make any sense is reading the same posts before the recent gun control vote and the same ones after the recent vote.Participant[quote=zk][quote=desmond][quote=zk][quote=CA renter]There is a much greater likelihood that they will be victims of criminals than victims of guns. That is the point. Smart people get this, and that is why they are so organized.[/quote]
Smart people? You’re kidding, right?
I’m pretty sure you mean, “people who agree with me.” Or maybe, “people who I think are smart because they agree with me.”[/quote]
ZK, more name calling, blame or attack “people that don’t agree with you”.[/quote]
desmond, you aren’t making any sense. I didn’t call anyone names, blame anybody, or say whether I agreed with CAR (for the record, I don’t).
I’m pointing out that to say that “smart people get this” is ridiculous, regardless of what “this” is.
By the way, didn’t you, just a few posts ago, say, “POS Morgan,” Mr. Pot?[/quote]

ParticipantSK it sounds like you were trying to blame itsdd for a “you people” comment but when ur brought up the Tea Party you had no problem with that?
April 19, 2013 at 2:33 PM in reply to: OT: Proof that mainstream media has a deep-seated liberal bias #761417Participant“Nonetheless, leading media figures and outlets still tried to shame the Senate. CNN’s Piers Morgan, a longstanding gun control advocate, called the Senate “a pathetic, gutless bunch of cowards.”
Character building…
ParticipantI was wrong on those two. Hard to understand what motivation they would have. I have for a long time thought that more people would start doing more desperate acts because of the economy. But I never thought bombings from terrorist would happen on the streets. Sucks. I am not a worry wart, but this is troubling.
ParticipantNow go after me Enron. I believe in sensible gun control, always have. You just proved my point, you do not need to put me down like you did, you do not know me. Work together, don’t criticize and be smart and I will stand behind anyone that wants to make America safer, most gun owners will.
ParticipantWhat happened? Really now. You will never be able to scream and demand gun control (a la POS Morgan). All the belittling, emails, stats, celebrities, etc, are just a waste of time. And I think they just are feel good measures not to accomplish anything but look at me actions.
Participant[quote=masayako][quote=livinincali][quote=masayako]I bought a bit more at $404 today, wish me luck[/quote]
Good luck but I personally would have waited. Nothing really suggests that breaking $420 support on higher than average volume is going to produce an immediate bounce. Dead cat bounce, yeah sure, maybe tomorrow. Long term bottom, highly unlikely but anything can happen as they say. I think $360-370 is probably in the cards now. That’s the next area of potential support.[/quote]
Thanks for the advice. I will buy a bit more when/if if reaches $360-370. Sounds like a plan.[/quote]
A plan to just lose money.
ParticipantThe article is just stupid:
“Two- thirds of student loans are held by people under the age of 40, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, blocking millions of them from taking advantage of the most affordable housing market on record”
The reason the housing market is so “affordable” is because few can afford it. If they could than it would not be “affordable”.
ParticipantDamn, sounds like student loans are worse than Meth……….
ParticipantStudent loans are depressing students.
Participant[quote=spdrun]California has a few advantages over Texas;
(1) Low property taxes fixed by statute. People would scream holy murder if this changes for primary residences, so it won’t. Texas is actually known for low income/high property taxes.
(2) Climate/even in Temecula you’re 1 hr away from mountains and world class beaches.
(3) Food/cost of living can actually be relatively cheap if you’re not pretentious, don’t need a 2013 car, the latest smartphone, and to eat out every other day.Then again, Austin has SxSW — that counts for something :). Nevada? No thanks unless it’s northern/mountain NV. 110F in summer on a regular basis — I’d rather cut my left yarble off with a rusty razor.[/quote]
Make sure it is a Lady Schick.
