At first the article seemed too long but when I started reading, I could not stop.
Unbe-frickin’-lievable!
Read it people, if you haven’t yet. And thanks for posting it here, socrattt.

I am going to thoroughly revise my fiscal policy.

SDPD wants to see my ID and ask me where I’ve come from, where I’m going and what I’m doing. What business is it of his?
The net effect of all this Gestapo behavior is that regular guys like me start hating cops

Man, if you ever travel abroad (possibly except Western Europe) you are in for a big surprize.

I wish you are right.

Since I’ve read The Bubble Primer in 2005 I became an adamant believer in housing bubble burst. I knew the prices are going down a lot.

Now it’s a different story though, I am not so sure about the future of the housing market anymore. Granted, the current trend is still down. But for how long? Have you seen a convincing metric that can predict bottom(s) with at least 10% accuracy? A metric, mind you, that should be based on (macro) fundamentals, yet make a quantitative prediction on an extremely local matter? Do you even believe it’s mathematically possible?

Sigh.

To me CCs are just a convenience. If they introduce annual fee, I’ll probably keep a card or two (AmEx/Costsco for example). If there is no grace period… well, my SDCCU debit card is also a Visa.
