Borat….I understand they don’t think they can “afford” to drop their prices, but my point remains the same because those sellers don’t fall into people who must sell their homes for whatever reason. If you HAVE to sell your house, you better move it quickly and be one of the “few” to drop your price to what might be considered to be a bargain, because when everyone drops their prices, it will be too late.
The banks who held MBS, CDS too long are now in that boat. People were wondering if Merrill was prematurely dumping securities last summer and questioning the move, but now they look like freakin geniuses.
zzzParticipantThat rumor about BofA sounds quite ridiculous and probably posted by someone who wants to see a run on the banks, for whatever their pleasure, reasoning may be – maybe to buy in or buy up an American bank on the cheap. BofA would never send out a letter like that to their retail branches as the word would have gotten out and we wouldn’t be reading it on a blog, itd be on major newswires.

zzzParticipantI imagine Susan Davis has a poll on her website to quickly gather people’s sentiment versus reading individual letters. VOTE on her site!

I am not debating this, I fully agree with you.
The question is whether or not you bother to TIME your 401k. There is NO guarantee his bond funds arent going to eat shit if the market continues at the levels we’re at. Fixed income is not a lot safer if more companies fail or if a lot more companies get downgraded. No one is talkin guarantee but since you and I don’t have a crystal ball, as DaCounselor pointed out, the market does go UP and DOWN. Trying to time the UP And DOWN has been proven not to work very well for MOST of us over a LONG time horizon. If you are <10 years from retirement, you shoulda been out of equities to begin with.
