I don’t know if they are trying to blame everyone else. At least they are getting a second, and maybe third job, and say they want to keep the house. They made their bed, now they are lying in it, good for them.

Just out of curiosity, if you’re shorting a stock and it goes BK or gets delisted, what happens? How do you buy them back, or do you even have to? How do you close the loop on that transaction?

Its like hitting a grand slam, but not knowing how to run the bases 🙂

Changing floor plans that are offered are things the builders can do relatively easily, most sales contracts will state that the builder has the right to change things like that.

But going from SFR’s to Condo’s requires zoning and/or permit/govt approvals, which are much harder to come by. In general, when a builder does a “planned community” they are required to stick to their plan without MAJOR overhauls like changing from SFRs to condos. If a piece of land is not zoned for multi family dwellings, the buillder cannot simply change his/her mind and put them up… it’s a massive process to make that change.

It seems, the only thing newsworthy in that article was the line “Turn up the volume”.

Everyone here at the Piggington Costco already knew most of this… but by turning up the volume, maybe the rest of the 200 million Americans with their heads collectively in the sand, will hear it too.

Maybe if we had a president or a congress who weren’t deaf, that might help also. Gotta turn up the volume on those hearing aids as well.

Its no different than home builders who tell you every single week that their “incentives are only good til this weekend.” And then they tell you they were “extended” once again… every week. One builder even told me that the model we really liked was “not profitable to build, and even though everyone loves it, we’re going to stop selling it in two weeks” (rather than raise the price while people are actually still buying it. Talk about superficial sales tactics:p

Techniques by desperate sellers often look ridiculous to the rest of us.

What kind of jackass goes water skiing with a $20,000 watch on his wrist? We REALLY do need a change of values around here.

From Katrina victims wondering where their handout is, to FBs playing the victim card, to everyone and their dog selling their soul to every get rich quick vendor in sight, to Barry Bonds cheating his way to an all time record, Americans have lost the spirit that used to make this country so great. That is, we USED to work hard, save up, take risks and accept the consequences if our endeavors failed. We USED to do things for ourselves, instead of collectively holding our hands out, looking for someone else to do things for us. Nowadays we just want to know what the government will do to eliminate the effects of our own laziness and bad decisions.

Wasn’t it Jimmy Carter who once said that for the first time in America’s history, the majority of Americans think the next four years will be worse than the last four years? Man, our next four years (and the forty after that) are going to be rough.
