[quote=flu]Guys. This isn’t nearly as messed up as a few of my friends who own very profitable businesses are doing..

They are selling high end products to high end consumers in china.

So these friends basically import then goods FROM CHINA to the U.S and then send it right back to china to sell.

Go figure.[/quote]

because the chinese have lousy internal distribution

[quote=Diego Mamani]Interesting story! I wonder how many times people discard “broken” appliances that really aren’t! Our friend was ready to replace his TV![/quote]

I knew a guy bought a Marshall amp from a music store
was told it was dead. He bought it for scrap.
he was hunting for schematics so he could fix it,
and wanted my multimeter.
I gave him a power cord and told him to plug it in.
I said “Watch it power up”. it promptly did.
I told him the gear heads who work at music shops
probably had a blown fuse.

[quote=Diego Mamani]This is bad news! What we have here, essentially, are deadbeats (“FBs”) being protected by the courts based on a technicality.

actually what’s happened is the banks have damaged their security interests.

All it means is that this is now unsecured credit.
If people decalre bankruptcy they can do a
cramdown.

the foreeclosures aren’t worth much in most markets.
