Participant“I work full time as science teacher”
Anyone else find this scary? I mean you are the LEAST scientific person here, you cherry pick data, and let emotions rule logic. And you obviously know nothing about sample size of the data you are looking at and obviously have no ability of looking at business metrics.
Some of market is going down, but not nearly to the level you are making it out to be right now. Clearly you just want to talk down the market due to whatever motivation you have. But your distorted cherry picked facts supporting your fantasy based opinions are clear to everyone.
And people wonder why our education system sucks. Those who cant do, teach.

Participant“I don’t usually post about an individual, but after reading your post I looked at your blog. Working in education with the attitude you displayed in your post is not a good thing for the kids. Science in particular should always be open to opposing points of view. Maybe its time for your next career. ”
I woulda been cruder about it, but yeah what ^^^^ he said.

Participantlatesummer2008,
You constantly try to sensationalize trivial items to reinforce the fact that you believe the market is going down.
The market is going down, gradually deflating. Not nearly as fast as some want or predicted but it is clear it will be going down for quite some time. Being prone to hyperbole and half truths isn’t really any way of getting a point across.
Looking at any one month of any one zip code is just silly/stupid.

Participant“However, the MONTHLY DECLINES are ESPECIALLY TROUBLING, considering sales are SUPPOSED TO INCREASE through Spring, BEFORE Summer”
I disagree, about MoM, there are many seasonal variations (spring break, easter) reasons why April is usually less than march. YoY is still the best indicator, MoM is useless without a smartly made seasonal adjustment.
There is no doubt this spring selling season is incredibly weak.

Wouldn’t buying now be gambling on the opposite side of the coin?
ParticipantCheck this house out read the title report (note the lien for 24 million!) and then read article.
Great, for bidding at an auction you get the chance to get in the middle of a $68 million ponzi scheme (rather ironic though). I realize they are supposed to provide clear title, but its a big risk. Nice street though, I was just on that very street last October for a Pasadena Heritage event.
February 27, 2007 at 11:54 AM in reply to: Lets get the nontraditional mortgage guidance adopted in CA #46368ParticipantThe bill is going to adopted, it is only a matter of WHEN and if it is a regulation or guidance.
Here is the bill (SB 385):
http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/07-08/bill/sen/sb_0351-0400/sb_385_bill_20070221_introduced.html
Just write your representative and ask for immediate adoption.
February 27, 2007 at 11:23 AM in reply to: Lets get the nontraditional mortgage guidance adopted in CA #46362ParticipantWhether Machado asked others for more time or not, the key would be to let them know that people are watching them and expecting them to take action.
NEW has sent out an email saying they will restrict all IO loans (except the 10 yr IO) in states that have the nontraditional mortgage guidance, so it is having an effect.
But people have to care enough to at least send an email and spread the word.
Participant“Timing a market is fairly ridiculous. There are properties today that can be bough right now that will see very little or no depreciation.”
What you are talking about in the above quote is effectively trying to time the market, just in a different way than what you are accusing other of doing it. You are timing that the market will be level or slightly down and that is why you are getting in, others are betting it will go down, which is why they are not getting in.

If you sit down and look at the joy people are taking at other peoples loss, it is the definition of schadenfreude.
You can agree that there is a bubble and that some people are now paying for the their mistakes participating in it, but there is a bit of glee that is showing for some around here in regards to it..
