some stories….guy I work with says a friend’s son in California, 30 years old, just lost his job at Lehman. He gets 2 years pay and the value of his last bonus. Not bad.

Other antidote: heard of a woman trying to trade in a 3yr old Ford Explorer…no place she visited will take it as a trade = value $0

#69 shore guy…if you look at my parents as an example, they bought in a new development in 1962 and still own the home. if you charted the gain and loss over time, there were examples of 8-10 years at a time when their home didn’t go up in value at all. Other examples where it went down a little. Just so happens it is a win win if you bought in ‘62. However, if you purchased a home in 2001 and sold in 2006 like me, you doubled your investment…guess that is why they call it timing. Minute by minute valuations associated with bubbles make people think of housing in investment terms. I sold my home to move to another school district, period.

McGinn’s an ay ess ess as well
“ut he didn’t pick the title, the same way columnists like me aren’t always thrilled by the headlines our editors put atop our stories.”

Really? Did you read the book? Was it really about how the RE market was going to crash, and it just got mis-titled by a rogue publisher?

I hear that’s what happened to Kevin Hassett, whose name nearly rhymes with a$$hat.

This reads a bit like a Colin Powell apologia. I’m sure your a nice fellow, but no, you can’t have your reputation back.

Marion Barry is a moron.

During his stint… he and his crumb bums smuggled all sorts of hardcore drugs into the DC area. Funneled right into the black communities, which in turn led to the high murder rate. (most murders were drug related),

If you don’t think the govt smuggles drugs into this country w/ the help of the mafia, I have ocean front property in Arizona I want to sell you.

That Rev. Wright wasn’t too far off.

yup, back to RE.

08 YTD hospital layoffs:
2,585 people.

If you are getting older or have relatives that are getting older. Look for overcrowded hospitals & overworked staff to care of you. Just what you wanted :)

The health care in NJ is terrible and this state should be ashamed of itself.

oh yeah… but if you are an illegal, you get to move to the front of the line.
