ParticipantVCJIM – yes, but when inventory decreases, you don’t know if it is people taking the houses off the market because they don’t really need to sell then or people buying buying houses.
So you don’t know if you are seeing the results of buyer psychology or seller psychology.
I really wish we’d move this thread to the main topic.

ParticipantI do some work with a company that specializes in helping mainstream companies market to the Hispanic community.
They rarely do anything internet related.
Sadly, as a group they are not considered internet-savvy. Furthermore, those who are internet-savvy are likely english-speakers.

ParticipantAll you traders out there – does this make sense?
As interest rates fall, stocks tend to rise because as rates fall, the expected no-risk return on your investment from a bonds goes down and investing in stocks looks more attractive.
(If you can only get 3% on your money with a bond, the stock market looks good. If you can get 8%,the stock market doesn’t look as good).
Thus, as we head into a recession, we get bad news about the economy and the stock market responds positively to that news because it suggests the feds will lower rates.
I think the news of the economy slowing drives up stocks in the short term, then, as the economy starts crapping out and earnings reports suffer, the stock market comes down with the economy. I think the Christmas season will really let us know if we are going into recession early 2007 or early 2008.

ParticipantLets be clear here – I think you’ll get no argument from anyone here that So Cal is going to crash big time. Our issue is with your claim that Amarillo is immune to the same.

ParticipantI have a little sub-portfolio of 6 stocks that isn’t performing well in my IRA. I’m seriously thinking of pulling the trigger and getting that into a 1 year bond.

ParticipantAre you really suggesting that McMansions in the outskirts of Amarillo are immune to price reductions?

ParticipantCome on, sdrealtor. Even I’m OK with it. Try to argue the point in the appropriate thread. We’ve been rough on PS and she has taken it well.

Participantpowayseller – I think the answer is short term bonds. Anyone else ?

Participanths said “Nobody has the right to tell PS to go away”
That wasn’t the message.
The question was
“does she post too much?”
not
“should she go away?”sdduuuude
ParticipantObviously you weren’t here Monday morning, when 11 of the active forum topics were by one person, many of which received 0 replies.
This may be childish thread, but it has more posts in it than all other threads, except a couple, in the last several weeks so it was obviously an issue important to the forum attendees. Plus, I think it helped powayseller focus on more important things and encouraged others to get involved.
I, too, hope everyone keeps their high-quality posts coming.

Participantpowayseller – Thanks for taking this in a constructive manner. I think this thread also helped get people posting. There is alot of activity in the last day or two by many others.
Peace.

Participantoh – another trick. I have better luck going to the home page, LOGGING IN FROM THE HOME PAGE, then going to the link you want, then refreshing.
I often have trouble when logging in from the “login to post” link but rarely have trouble when logging in from the home page.

Participant“masses” is another word that is not clear. You can’t assume you need 19% to lead to “masses of foreclosures” because you don’t know if “masses” is 10, 1000, or 1,000,000.
I mean – when someone asks you how much prices will fall, you say “50%” not “a whole bunch.”
