I am currently between romantic entanglements, so I’m free to throw down the gauntlet. Someone with my unique faults is rarely “taken” for long.

Now here is how I read the tea leaves, but also why Diana’s tone has me concerned.

1. The stock market has been trending up for a while, the only mistakes I’ve made in the last year is to not invest against the grain, against the tin hat people and against the piggy doomsdayers. Ford, Harley, homebuilders like KHOV, banks and other stocks, considered at the end of their rope, are all between 500% and 1000% up in the last 13 months. Stocks usually lead the actual economy by a few months to a year.

2. Home price declines have either stopped or bounced off bottom, traditional affordibility metrics have returned to 90% of the market, maybe not the one’s the more active posters are looking at, but sanity has retrned to most of the country. A recent visit to the southeast, I saw evidence of even greater bubble bursting than we have seen here, yet the golf course I was on set a record for the number of golfers in a single day.

3. Odd cheerleader behavior

http://www.cnbc.com/id/36183826

kudlow is a cheerleader to the nth degree, one with more pom poms than I have failed relationships. But today’s article, listed just below Diana’s, is out of character. He’s asking fellow conservatives to stop attacking the employment numbers, obamanomics and all the rest for fear of losing credibility. His argument makes sense, if you claim the sky is falling every day, and it doesn’t, then nobody will listen to you. Instead, since the numbers are good, try assigning credit away from your political foe, claim it will be even better without him or that he had nothing to do with it, just stop beating the same drum because the numbers will be on his side.

I hate politics, I could care less and I never listen to kudlow because he always has an agenda. Normally I would just say that he is trying to keep the market rolling and telling critics to be quiet, but this white flag looks different. I read the politically slanted opinions to gauge reality, even if I don’t buy into it.

4. The Tarp and other bailout measures actually kicked ass, the gov’t earned about 7.5% on it’s investments(err bailouts). I have money in those same banks and got about .5%, had it been a donation it would have beat the going rate by 13x.

5. Roubini said it would go just like this, he’s been right so far, I can attribute some of my good fortune to him, so I’m petting that dog till it bites me.

So, yes, My tin foil hat is back in the closet, I see recovery as the year progresses and a decent 2011, now it’s time to figure out where the next bubble will be, because there is always a next one.

But then Rich posts an article from Diana, it is in contrast to what the tea leaves have been telling me. She has been a very reliable source of both lust and mainline information for me. It’s like a faithful old girlfriend or booty call who never refuses your call, and suddenly, she won’t answer. You run to the mirror to see if you still have your looks, then to the scale to see if you gained weight. You can’t find a reason, is she engaged? Is she still alive? Did the earthquake knock down her cell phone tower? What gives, something is amiss.

So retrieve your tin foil hat from the closet, because there just maybe something unexpected around the corner. I for one, will be retrieving my wine and watching to see if the elusive tsuinami theory takes it’s last opportunity to manifest itself. If it does, I’m ready to double down.

You are right Rich, my beloved Diana has always been a moderate through this whole thing, she seemed bearish at the peak, but always backed it up with facts and not twisted ones used for hype. I read that article when it first came out because it is the lead story on cnbc and was a bit shocked she didn’t qualify her statement about banks out west holding onto properties to manipulate prices. She did qualify her statement about the tsuinami. She gets more inside scoop than we do and parses it out as needed, usually she is right. While not the hottest of the cnbc sirens, she is the smartest, so she gets my goat than the others.

With the employment numbers getting better by the day and actually revising to the good, the stock market flirting with 11k and the rise in pendings as we enter the strong season, I can’t figure out why my girl has turned bearish. All I can say is that there may be something on the horizon that we have not been made aware of, there has to be a reason why her compass is pointing South when all the rest point North, because that is not how she usually rolls.

In case she reads this, the offer is still on the table: A weekend in a five star hotel, room service for every meal, a fistfull of viagra, remember to rest up and pack light, I’ll make you see god.

Iforget, there is a feature on this website that allows us to tell how long you have been a member, in your case, it’s under 2 hours.

It’s like being a new member of a group of friends and at the first party they invite you to, you hit on someone’s wife. When just joining this website, immediately posting a topic can be viewed the same way.

To answer the question, there is only one poster that I think may have stopped paying for strategic reasons, not because they couldn’t pay. That poster is 23109, a quick search and you will see that he was under significant wifely pressure, ignored countless threads of advice and jumped too early. He found himself upside down and returned to ask advice about milking the situation for free rent and then walking away. Not sure if he did it, but it was heading that way. He bought a few months before priced fell about 30%, it was late 2007 or early 2008.

Other than that, not sure if anyone else qualifies. There have been many who arrived and talked about being in foreclosure, but they weren’t members who were bearish, they became members after buying and then realizing too late that they succumbed to the propaganda of the mid 2000’s. They found this site and then said “oh crap.” This was before the main stream media ever mentioned the word “bubble.” It felt like a daily occurance in 2007, but by 2008 everyone was aware that the tide had turned or at least should have been aware.
