Morgan Stanley: Long Road Home for Housing

From Housing Watch:

Home Price Recovery Will Take Three Years, Morgan Stanley Says

There’s more pain ahead for the housing markets, according to a recent report from Morgan Stanley.

How likely is this nightmare, and what can you do with this information?

“We see potential for another 5-10% decline in nominal prices over the next year,” said the authors of “U.S. Housing Strategy: The Long Road Home,” an analysis out this month from Morgan Stanley.

Even after home prices hit bottom, Morgan Stanley’s experts think home prices will stay low “for another three to four years, during which annual appreciation may reach only as high as inflation or income growth.”

Only a few economists still expect a big drop to home prices this year, though most expect prices to sag.

Morgan Stanley is on the pessimistic end of housing forecasts with its prediction of a potential drop of 5 to 10 percent. A decline like that would drag down the closely watched Case Shiller Home Price Index to between 136 and 129.

Other housing economists have softened their forecasts. In December, Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, predicted that home prices had a long way to fall before hitting bottom this autumn — down more than a third from its housing boom peak. His prediction back then, in an interview with Reuters, would have sunk the 20-city Case Shiller Index to about 128 — more than 10 percent down from its current level.

Zandi now predicts that, “Home prices nationally may still fall somewhat lower,” according to a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times. That’s a big change from the painful drop he predicted before.

    From Bloomberg:

    Pending Sales of Existing U.S. Homes Probably Climbed in April

    The number of contracts to buy previously owned U.S. homes probably rose in April for a third consecutive month as buyers rushed to lock in a government tax credit, economists said before a private report today.

    Sales may soften in subsequent months following the April 30 deadline to sign contracts and obtain as much as $8,000 in government assistance. Any sustained recovery in housing hinges on maintaining stability in financial markets and gains in employment in the wake of the European debt crisis.

    “Right now, we’re seeing some buoyancy in sales related to the latest round of tax incentives,” said Richard DeKaser, chief economist at Woodley Park Research in Washington. “When we get into the post-incentive period, we’ll see another air pocket.”

    The report from National Association of Realtors is due at 10 a.m. in Washington. Bloomberg survey estimates ranged from a 3 percent drop to a gain of 10 percent.

    Back in the old days — say, pre-Michael-Moore — a critic went to a film, looked at the photography and editing, made a considered judgment and wrote it up. Now you almost have to re-report the thing yourself. Who didn’t the filmmakers interview? What’s the background of the three “experts” with whom they did speak? Who gave them funding? Which facts were left out?
    The Cartel (Unrated) Bowdon Media (90 min.) Directed by Bob Bowdon. Now playing in New Jersey.
    STEPHEN WHITTY’S RATING: ONE AND A HALF STARS
    Rating note: The film contains nothing to offend.
    It’s exhausting and, practically speaking, nearly impossible.
    So let me state my own biases before I review “The Cartel,” a biased new film about New Jersey public education and some parents’ push for charter-school alternatives.
    Years ago, my father attended Jersey City schools, then Rutgers, and got a good education. My two children are in suburban public schools now and get a great education. I know some schoolteachers who are doing terrific jobs.
    This may be similar to your experience. It is not, however, a scenario Bob Bowdon would recognize. In his eyes, the state education system is inherently, irredeemably corrupt. The teachers’ union caters to its dues-paying members (as if any union doesn’t) and is riddled with slackers. Our public schools are a mess and a drain on our strapped economy.
    You might agree. But if you think there may be anything more to the story, don’t expect to find it here. Like the worst “documentaries” — and, like Moore’s work, Bowdon’s film earns the ironic quotes — there’s no attempt to hear both sides, no purpose except to hammer home some talking points and, maybe, influence legislation.
    Unlike Moore, Bowdon isn’t a natural filmmaker; his sarcasm is heavy-handed, and the film’s style (which relies on some crude animation and lots of old TV clips) is flat. But he does share that more famous rabble-rouser’s dislike for balance. In the twisted view of “The Cartel,” every New Jersey school is in a slum — yet also full of eager, well-parented students who arrive ready to learn, only to run headlong into incompetent teachers and corrupt fat-cat principals.
    That’s his reality. Is it yours?
    Sure, plenty of our public schools aren’t turning out ready-for-success graduates. But might not the first school reform begin at home, by raising respectful children who value education? And might it continue by allowing our schools to expel the ones who won’t?
    That, I think, would be the sensible, social-conservative point of view.
    But Bowdon (who got post-production support from a couple of partisan groups, including a pro-voucher organization) takes a more political approach, blaming it all on unions and Democrats.
    “School choice,” he insists, would solve everything, but that involves more than just charter schools. What if the vouchers didn’t cover the tuition at the prep you wanted, or the school didn’t want your child? Oh, and how about that whole pesky church-state thing — do you want your tax dollars going to help fund madrassas? These are questions Bowdon doesn’t really explore.
    Nor does he address whether charter schools are truly any better. He suggests that, even if they aren’t, it doesn’t matter, because they’re safer. But doesn’t their self-selecting nature — only truly involved parents are going to jump through those enrollment hoops — guarantee that?
    Logic doesn’t really matter because movies like “The Cartel,” which trumpets its slant, from its title to its “Godfather”-inspired typography, aren’t interested in exploring questions. They just want to trot out the conclusions they’ve already drawn.
    As long and as loud as they shout, only the already converted ever listen.

    BP is the #1 supplier of fuel to the US military. With those sorts of high level connections i think their damage is fairly limited int he long run. They will put on a good show and hand over what appears to be a substantial amount of cash,but where does that money come from? I wonder if any costs associated with the clean up and civil/criminal penalties might not be passed on to the pump…..

    Any monies paid out by BP will ultimatly come out of the consumers pocket. The only real penalties for BP would be criminal charges against individual executives and a revocation of all Gulf leases, putting the forfeited leases up for bid by the other major oil companies. The money received from the bids for the former BO gulf leases could then be used to help fund the cleanup.

  30. Confused in NJ says:

    Shepard Smith had a fascinating segment on the catastrophic Gulf oil spill today, featuring an interview with a former nuclear-sub captain who argued persuasively that it was time — past time, really — to blow up that leaking oil well in the Gulf and put an end to the massive pollution that’s resulted from its being open.

    Smith originally brought on Christopher Brownfield to discuss the potential for using a nuclear bomb to stop the leak, and Brownfield said that yes, it was decided a viable way to stop it — it has been done four times previously. But he gave many compelling reasons NOT to use a nuclear warhead for the job — the biggest one being that the same job could be accomplished with conventional explosives.

    So why aren’t we talking about doing this? Well, Brownfield explained that too:

    Brownfield: If we demolish the well using explosives, the investment’s gone. They lose hundreds of millions of dollars, from the drilling of the well, plus no lawmaker in his right mind would allow BP to drill again in that same spot. So basically, it’s an all-or-nothing thing with BP: They either keep the well alive, or they lose their whole investment and all the oil that they could potentially get from that well.

    As Brownfield explains, “We need to seal this thing off.” Desperately. But why hasn’t anyone been bringing a complete shutdown of the well to the table?

    Brownfield: Yes, I think — stopping the spill immediately. And the reason why we haven’t seen that option is because, frankly, BP is still at the helm. I think President Obama needs to take charge of this, bring all the assets of our military to bear, bring the U.S. Army Corps of engineers, bring the U.S. Navy, and bring in all the private-sector organizations that have the equipment for deep-sea operations to make this happen. Let’s explode this, collapse the well, and put an end to it.

    I don’t know about the rest of you but this story seems like it should be the final straw:

    Scientists are finding enormous oil plumes in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, including one as large as 10 miles long, 3 miles wide and 300 feet thick. The discovery is fresh evidence that the leak from the broken undersea well could be substantially worse than estimates that the government and BP have given.

    “There’s a shocking amount of oil in the deep water, relative to what you see in the surface water,” said Samantha Joye, a researcher at the University of Georgia who is involved in one of the first scientific missions to gather details about what is happening in the gulf. “There’s a tremendous amount of oil in multiple layers, three or four or five layers deep in the water column.”

    The plumes are depleting the oxygen dissolved in the gulf, worrying scientists, who fear that the oxygen level could eventually fall so low as to kill off much of the sea life near the plumes.

    If Brownfield is right, BP has had its chance to save its well. The time has run out.

    If Brownfield is right, it’s time for the president to seize control of the situation and blow this well up

    Nope! if we were smart we would combine brazils rule that requires physical demonstartion of BOPS at operating depth with Canada’s rule reuireing paralell relief wells be drilled at the same time.

    The catch is that deepwater Gulf oil is only economical at high gas prices ( i have seen estimates of sustained price of $85/brl +) or they minize production costs.

    Those two safety measures alone would substantially increase the cost of deepwater drilling and the oil companies would spend massive amounts of money lobbying to prevent their institution. I suspect that there are forces in the DOD and high levels of government that have BP’s back as there have been a number of papers written over the last 10 years stating the deepwater oil production in the gulf was a strategic necessity.

    I think its unlikely that the government is willing to enact regulations that will make ddep water drilling in the gulf uneconomical.

    Confused 30.

    The risk with explosives, even conventional ones is that due to the geology of the gulf seabed, the explosion could crack the capstones over the oil formation and cause massive additional leaks. If you look at the quantities of oil being found in deepwater it looks like simmons was right and there are indeed upwelling leaks that have worked there way through the weak seabed. The amounts of oil being found are orders of magnitude larger then could be produced by the well head leak alone

    If that is the case, then trying to cap the BOP is a bad idea as it will cause massive backpressure and will make the upwelling leaks bigger and possibly cause additional ones.

    Look at about 1:20 in the following video. This is starting to look like what is happening in the gulf. In this case the best option is a bottom kill using the relief wells while any top kill/explosive efforts risk further destabilizing the geology and making matters much worse.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpPNQoTlacU

    The explosion route only works if you have geology that can handle the explosive forces involved without becoming compromised. Everything i have read and the oil guys i have talked suggested that explosives in the gulf seabed are a bad idea.

    the seabed geology in the area of the gulf that the well is in is known to be unstable.

    http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/…/Salt%20Tec%20Abstract%20Book%20Main%20Content.pdf
    “The structure of the deep salt has had a major influence on the subsequent evolution of the deepwater
    Gulf of Mexico. A model in which a thin-salt fringe lay outboard of a thicker-salt Deep Basin can
    explain observed patterns in structural style, seismic data quality, diapir location and orientation,
    overridden diapirs, rafted minibasins, and imbricated sutures. It may also provide suggests for areas of
    future subcanopy hydrocarbon prospectivity…
    and
    We present here a detailed structural and kinematic analysis of the very well known digital
    bathymetric map (NOAA) of the northern GoM. This seafloor image displays clear structural
    evidence of three types of relative displacements between the minibasins: extension, shortening or
    strike-slip. Seismics shows that horizontal displacements are located within the salt ridges that
    separate basins. Our structural mapping puts in evidence a NE-SW trending direction of almost
    uniaxial elongation at regional-scale. This distributed stretching indicates that the allochtonous salt
    layer that underlies the minibasins is flowing toward the Southwest, since at least Neogene times. But
    the geometry and kinematics of strike-slip shear zones (in particular in Green Canyon area) show that
    blocks of pre-Early Miocene sediments underlying the allochtonous salt have rotated around a vertical
    axis. This indicates that even the autochtonous salt layer is involved in the recent deformation
    recorded by the seafloor morphology.”

    Terra infirma: Understanding salt tectonics ,a Bureau of Economic Geology, Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin,
    “Following common usage, we broaden the term “salt” to include all rock bodies composed primarily of halite (NaCl). Salt is mechanically weak and flows like a fluid, even at geologically rapid strain rates. Salt is also relatively incompressible so is less dense than most carbonates and all moderately to fully compacted siliciclastic rocks. Salt’s fluid rheology and incompressibility make it inherently unstable under a wide range of geologic conditions…”

  40. Mr Hyde says:

    Confused, Shore,

    If you want an idea of how delicate drilling in this area of the gulf can be take a look at the following document from BP. It describes the thunderhorse operation which operates in the dame geological strata.

    http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9030433&contentId=7055435

    ‘The Thunder Horse reservoir conditions are among the toughest encountered in the industry,’ he notes, ‘producing fluids at pressures over 1200 bar and temperatures up to 135*C, which can also be corrosive due to the presence of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide. In 1999, there was no subsea equipment capable of handling such fluids, hence high pressure subsea trees – the arrangement of valves that control the wells at the seabed – and all other related subsea equipment and control systems had to be specifically developed for the project, equipment that also had to be designed to operate in 1900m of water…..

    ….’The combination of deep water, salt overhang layers and very deep reservoirs requiring long wells is just one part of the challenge,’ says Charlie Holt, wells delivery manager. ‘Add to that the high reservoir pressure, the high flowrates – some of the wells can individually flow at 50,000bpd or more – and the fact that hydrogen sulphide can be present in the wellfluids once water injection begins, and you have a drilling and completions challenge that no-one had faced before.’

    Hydrocarbons lie in three zones in the Thunder Horse reservoirs, lying between around 5500m and 8000m vertically below the seabed in the Miocene sandstone. When drilling any well, a key parameter is the ratio of pore pressure to fracture gradient. The pore pressure from the hydrocarbons in the rock determines the pressure that must be exerted by the drilling mud circulated through the wellbore to prevent the hydrocarbons flowing into the well as it is being drilled, while the fracture gradient indicates the equivalent mud weight that – if too high – will fracture the rocks, an event to be avoided. Drilling a successful well requires staying in the window between these two controlling pressures, a window which varies with drilling depth….

    You got kids? PA gives any resident a 12K state tax deduction for 529 contribution, so you may as well toss a chunk in there…..if possible, have it put in one of your parents’ names; give them the money and have them fund it…

    also, you mention IRAs…..however things split out with your wife, if one of you does not have an IRA (each SS# is considered distinct), you can slam the a contrib into a non-ded 2010 IRA contrib and then convert to a Roth.

    Chi Fi – great stuff. question: Do the parents have to live in PA in the first scenario?

    and what is the adv to funding in the parents name instead of my own?

    yikes: I should have given a more complete answer. If the grandparents do not live in PA, then the best plan for that state should apply. Also, the tax break for the plan would belong to the funding source, so in this case it would be the grandparents. The tax break is on STATE TAX only. So in the case of PA it is (the total amount funded in that year capped at $12K) x (your marginal tax rate). The federal tax break is that any gains on the 529 are not taxable upon qualified withdrawal.

    The issue with the Roth is that you can make a non-deductible contribution and then convert it to a Roth, and since the full account balance is after-tax, there is no tax payable for the conversion. HOWEVER, if you have other non-Roth IRAs, then things get very messy and forget it. However, the husband and the wife can look at everything separately as the view is by SS#.

    Grandparents are helpful for 529’s because colleges and federal programs (for the most part) completely ignore assets of anyone other than the student or parents. So a 529 owned by a grandparent is invisible. At the right time, keep the student’s SS# off the 529 until they receive their final aid package as a senior, then empty the accounts…..no harm/no foul…..

    This isnt about BP trying to recover the formation for later extraction. This formation is dead. The leaking formation is one of the shallower and smaller ones in the area. We are all very lucky it was this well that blew out and not one of the ulra deep well that is much larger and at higher pressure such as those being drilled and pumped by the thunderhorse platform.

    In my armchair general opinion BP is very nervous about it becomeing public that they have had the casing walls blowout as well and that the main leaks are welling up through the seabed florr and are large enough that the leaking BOP/riser is just a drop in the bucket.

    Consider that recent measurements seem to suggest that the BOP may indeed be leaking only 5,000 – 10,000 BPD of oil. Yet they are finding plumes that suggest flow rates of 50,000 – 100,000 BPD. That only works is there are upwellings from breached casing and represents a worst case.

    This is about BP trying to keep everyone focused on the BOP/wellhead while trying to avoid making matters worse. plugging the well from the top has a high probability of making the suspected seabed upwelling much worse.

    G*d, you people are ignorant. Are you still upset about how DiCaprio made your weiner twinkle twelve years ago and you didn’t understand it? Is that why the hysteria over James Cameron being called in on this?

    If you knew anything, you’d know that Cameron is highly knowledgeable both about underwater cameras for deep-water photography, and also about the kind of robotics that are now routine for dives into the kind of water into which oil is now gushing. You might not like his movies or his ego, but he’s highly skilled in these areas.

    Ballard did find the Titanic, but Cameron made a quantum leap forward in photographing it and in developing remote-controlled robots that can get into nooks and crannies of wrecked things — like ships and oil wells.

    N.J. Gov. Christie revises
    bid for education grant;
    throws out compromise

    Tuesday, June 1, 2010
    Last updated: Tuesday June 1, 2010, 7:16 PM

    BY LESLIE BRODY
    The Record
    STAFF WRITER

    Governor Christie threw out the school
    reform blueprint endorsed by the state’s
    biggest teachers union last week and filed a
    new bid Tuesday for a high-stakes federal
    grant known as “Race to the Top.”

    Christie said his education commissioner
    had compromised too much in order to win
    the union’s blessing for a contest that could
    bring $400 million to the state. Christie said
    the new proposal reinstated key elements of
    earlier plans, such as merit pay for individual
    teachers, putting job performance over
    seniority when laying off staff, making it
    easier to fire poor teachers, and giving
    bonuses to successful faculty who relocate
    to failing schools.

    The eleventh-hour change came as a shock
    to officials at the New Jersey Education
    Association, who said they learned on
    Tuesday afternoon – the contest deadline –
    that the governor had changed the
    application and taken off their signatures of
    support.

    Union leaders and education commissioner
    Bret Schundler had spent weeks hammering
    out compromises on the plan, and on
    Thursday both parties expressed satisfaction
    that they had come up with a collaborative
    blueprint. Union buy-in wins points in the
    stiff competition.

    NJEA President Barbara Keshishian reacted
    “with a mixture of deep disappointment, utter
    frustration and total outrage” to the news
    that the application had been rewritten, she
    said in a release. “The biggest losers in this
    entire fiasco are the state’s 1.4 million
    students.”

    Christie told reporters Tuesday that he was
    not involved in the past weeks’ discussions b
    etween the union and commissioner
    Schundler, and that when he learned the
    details of the compromise on Friday, he told
    Schundler to spend the holiday weekend
    restoring principles such as individual merit
    pay. The union-endorsed plan had focused
    on school-wide bonuses for schools that
    made strong gains, and it kept seniority-
    based job protections.

    Christie said he retained faith in his
    education commissioner and wanted
    “creative tension” within his staff.

    Roselle school board member is arrested on burglary charges after police chase

    By Eliot Caroom/For the Star-Ledger
    June 01, 2010, 7:44PM

    CRANFORD — Roselle school board member Michael Boyd sat in the Union County Jail this evening after leading police officers on a two-town chase that ended when he flipped his car and tried to run away, according to Cranford police.

    An officer initially tried to pull Boyd, 39, over when they saw that his car matched the description of a vehicle seen leaving a car burglary on Munsee Drive in Cranford.

    Boyd, a computer technician for Colgate-Palmolive in Manhattan, was elected to serve on the borough’s school board last year. He ran with Shondalyn Gales and Anthony Esposito on several issues, including improved governance of Roselle schools and guaranteeing the district’s financial accountability.

    Roselle school district spokesman Dan Burns said Tuesday he couldn’t comment on the arrest, because the district had no knowledge of it.

    Cranford police said the chase began about 1:30 a.m. Monday morning when Cranford police Officer Derek Farbanec spotted Boyd’s car on Myrtle Street.

    “(The officer) turned on his lights, and the vehicle accelerated and went on to Amsterdam Avenue in Roselle,” said Sgt. Gerard Quinn of the Cranford police. “Due to the recklessness of the driver, the Cranford unit terminated the pursuit. Several blocks later, the officer could hear a crash.”

    When the officer caught up to the car at Aldene Road, it had rolled over and hit a telephone pole, Quinn said.

    Boyd crawled out of the car, ran away and tried to climb a fence, but Farbanec pulled him off the fence and arrested him. He was charged with criminal mischief, burglary to a motor vehicle, eluding a law enforcement officer, theft and resisting arrest, according to police.

    Police said that a duffle bag filled with $1,700 in stolen property from the Cranford burglary was found in Boyd’s car. It included CDs, cosmetics, an mp3 player, cash and a Coach wallet with gift certificates.

    Boyd was being held in lieu of $25,000 bail in the Union County Jail Tuesday.
    Quinn also said he received motor vehicle tickets for speeding, failure to stop and driving with a suspended license.

    Question of day for people under 35 who have a job only.

    My first job I was told my job was to do whatever my boss told me as long as it was not illegal, immoral or unethical.

    I have followed that rule ever sense and moved up the ladder, if boss was a jerk or company going down tubes either transfered or quit.

    I have staff under 35 who actually do their job. But what drives me nuts is they ask for vacation when things are busy, won’t work one minute ot, ask for stuff like telecommuting then they have no kids, wont’t eat or drink what they are told to eat or drink even if they eat or drink it.

    Case in point the “Luxemburg Cupcake Incident” SVP visting bought expensive cupcakes and put them out on table and said to the two staff members sitting near by he bought these amazing special cupcakes for them all the way from Luxemburg and he came straight from airport to office so they are very fresh. Both staff did not eat a cupcake. Then to my horror one staff member after SVP leaves gets up to eat a cupcake, I then go WTF and she goes I don’t like to be told to when to eat. I had to explain to her that is the equivalent of going to your future mother in laws house for your first thanksgiving and then refusing to eat the turkey.

    Another time we had a “granolia” incident of a similar nature. This combined up with similar things boss has first kid staff does not even buy boss even a card that says congratulations, heck not even an email and then two weeks later walks into same bosses office and wants to know when he or she can get promoted. I know some of this does not matter, but why do people feel they can do this little things that greatly annoy people and still deserve a big raise and bonus? I get it if you want to be an AVP for like and sit in the cube. But why do they think they can be SVP this way. My friend works at Hewitt which is a huge HR consulting company and she says many of her clients have this problem.

    I believe the mindset is: ‘I do my job, my work gets done, that’s what I’m paid to do’. Maybe buy them a Dale Carnegie book?

    I’ve only worked for small companies since leaving the Devils, and asking about someone’s sick kid almost feels required, like it’s the cost of doing business.

  87. jj says:

    Re 85

    Here it is my interview questions.

    If your spouse has a more important job then you and you always call in sick or take the day when kids are sick or your furnance or car breaks can you not let people know that is how little you think of job.

    When you boss gets married or has his first kid will you send a card?

    When a very important client or big boss asks you to eat a cupcake can you just eat the damm cupcake?

    Can you resist packing up loudly at 455 pm so we all know you are running out the door at five pm.

    If you and your co-worker do the same amount of work and I give you both 50K for a christmas bonus but you have a rich spouse and no kids and the other has a stay at home spouse and four kids and a big mortgage and college to pay for can you not go running around office saying how you blew the money on cruises, clothes and jewlery cause your spouse is rich. It just makes your co-worker hate you and your boss feel bad even though he did right thing.

    Can you read a damm WSJ on way to work and not shake your stupid head to an IPOD.

    After 5pm Friday and before 8:30 am Monday look at your damm BB once in a while buddy.

    If you are looking for a union job can you pleae join an union and don’t waste my time.

    If the big boss or client likes Yankees, Giants, Jets etc and you have a meeting with him on Monday after a big game would it kill you to spend ten minutes with the paper morning of meeting so you can join in the small talk and not look stupid.

    Now final interview question if you plan on doing the opposite of everything above can you resist coming into my office every six months asking for a bonus or raise. If you can your are hired, we need cube sitters.

    Black lawmakers push to cut back new ethics office

    Associated Press Writer Ben Evans,
    WASHINGTON – Nearly half of the members of the all-Democratic Congressional Black Caucus want to scale back the aggressive ethics procedures that Democrats trumpeted after gaining control of Congress.

    Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, and 19 fellow black lawmakers quietly introduced a resolution last week that would restrict the powers of the new independent Office of Congressional Ethics. The office, formed by Congress in 2008, is run by a panel of private citizens.

    Since its inception, the office has investigated at least eight black caucus members, including veteran Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y.

    Fudge did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Some lawmakers say the increased transparency of the new office is unfair to lawmakers who are ultimately cleared

    From Bloomberg:

    By Andrew Frye and William Selway

    June 2 (Bloomberg) — Warren Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has been trimming its investment in municipal debt, predicted a “terrible problem” for the bonds in coming years.

    “There will be a terrible problem and then the question becomes will the federal government help,” Buffett, 79, said today at a hearing of the U.S. Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in New York. “I don’t know how I would rate them myself. It’s a bet on how the federal government will act over time.”

    Berkshire’s investment portfolio included municipal bonds valued at less than $3.9 billion as of March 31, down from more than $4.7 billion at the end of 2008. The company had a maximum of $16 billion at risk in derivatives tied to such debt, according to the company’s annual report for 2009.

    Buffett, Berkshire’s chairman and chief executive, has previously warned about the risks of insuring municipal bonds. In his annual letter to shareholders in 2009, he said public officials may be tempted to default on bonds whose payments are guaranteed by insurance companies rather than push through needed tax increases. He said guaranteeing municipal bonds against default “has the look today of a dangerous business.”

    Fried’s Gung Ho After China Trip

    Montclair Mayor Jerry Fried, who recently returned from a two-week trip to China, said he was pleased with what he came away with.

    “It was a very good trip and I met my goals,” Fried told Baristanet. “We established leads for future business investment and also established a cultural and educational exchange.”

    Fried, who was in the world’s most populous nation to speak at a technology seminar, also took time to flog Montclair to the Chinese and to think of mutually beneficial ties in a bid to raise sagging revenue at home.

    “Like all NJ municipalities, we’re pummeled by the global economic crisis,” Fried said. “We are a small but important city,” with plenty to offer in terms of location, creative talent, quality of life and innovation in sustainability.

    These, Fried said, he hoped, could help lure “great people, innovative businesses and direct investment into Montclair” from China.

    Fast-growing China, which is both the world’s top polluter and a leader in green technology, lags in innovation of products and services.

    That’s where Montclair could come in, Fried said.

    “We have what they need – creativity in education and culture, innovation in business, a perfect location, and leadership in sustainability,” he said, describing China as a massive investor in math and science education but desperately needing to overhaul its education system to inspire new ideas.

    By the end of his trip, Fried, in collaboration with the town’s board of education, struck a deal to get two free Mandarin teachers for Montclair elementary schools, while 10 Chinese students will head to Montclair High School.

    And this place is literally on the shore (or right across the street anyway).

    From my perspective, it has many of the aspects of a Nompound (agriculture, timber, space for multiple groups, remoteness, and outstructures). It does not, however, have year-round appeal or ready access to attractions (like skiing) that promote current use and perhaps rents.

    Thus, it would be a fine addition to a nompound property portfolio, but not the only addition as it is not exactly a place I would spend much time in. Rather, it would be the basic SHTF nompound where one could go, provided that it paid for itself from agriculture if nothing hits a fan.

    In that event, I would want to pool several investors, and if one wanted to be in residence, they would be the GP or managing member.

    Al Gore and the rest of the global warming alarmists always fail to mention that the timescale their hypothetical events would happen is on the order of decades and civilization could easily adjust to any climate change that will occur in the next 50 years with little effort. They would have you believe a tidal wave is approaching the coast of Florida next week. After 10 years of scientific data analysis and mathematical fitting expertise, I can clearly say, the global warming data is far to noisy to ever try to draw a scientific conclusion on what happens, and any academic that insists otherwise needs revisit the method of “propagation of error”. Last time I took some popular global warming data and fit it to multiexponential function with 10 floating parameters, it returned a standard deviation of 300%. Anyone who tries to construct a model based on that data should have their degree revoked.

Members of the seven-person Judicial Advisory Panel included four former Supreme Court justices: James Coleman, Alan Handler, Stewart Pollock and Deborah Poritz.

    Climate and weather need a bit more than “curve fitting”. There are so many dependencies — it requires models based on underlying physics. Can you make some qualitative inferences using the data? Yes. Should one try to fit a curve (doesn’t matter it if has exponentials or sines) to data from a complex system? No.

    Also, 300% standard deviation may be good enough in some cases. More CO2 going into the environment, excessive deforestation, etc., will have to result in some changes.

    This weekend we took a drive into NY’s Finger Lakes. They are nice enough, but, again, the taxes are way too high. And, NY also seems to be redy to sink under its debt load. So, scratch off another prospect.

    “Climate and weather need a bit more than “curve fitting”. There are so many dependencies — it requires models based on underlying physics.”

    A multiexponential function incorporates those dependencies, regardless of the fact that you have not identified them with a true physical meaning. Aside from that, they all represent growth (albeit different rates) in the same direction (up). With 4 floating exponentials, you can represent time scales spanning days to centuries and 4 exponentials would be enough to effectively fit or incorporate nearly all the processes related to the supposed increase in temperature.

    Can you make some qualitative inferences using the data? Yes. Should one try to fit a curve (doesn’t matter it if has exponentials or sines) to data from a complex system? No.

    “Also, 300% standard deviation may be good enough in some cases.”

    Good enough? 300% standard deviation is what you call meaningless data. Us respectable scientists try to aim for less than 1%.

    “More CO2 going into the environment, excessive deforestation, etc., will have to result in some changes.”

    Yes, but the impact of those changes has never been verified. Btw…I like to flaunt my education in Chemistry all the time on this site, but I also have a degree in Geological Sciences.

    The point of my post was, the data is so noisy, a fit function of multiple floating parameters wasn’t even able to verify that it wasn’t a decay rather than a growth. Temperature data that exists is way too noisy to extrapolate any meaningful conclusions. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. That’s why the Climate gate guys had to fudge their data.

    Data are often very noisy, so a “first principles” based model, depending on the problem at hand, may be much more valuable even if its predictions are “worse off” than a curve fitting exercise. The good thing is new science can improve model predictions.

    Respectable scientists and “less than 1% error”? What predictive field are you talking about?

    In the case of climate change, there are issues of trends (just like seasonal variations of the house prices), and random fluctuations, so, at the risk of someone going fox news on me, the raw data need to be transformed to get some meaningful information.

    There’s a difference between noisy data and noise that is of the same magnitude as the trend you are claiming. Think of it this way. I dare you to try to model the direction of the DJIA for the next 5 years on the the past 2 weeks of data. You can’t…and for good reason.

    The models you speak of are, as of now, completely useless and have no scientific merit at all. You can’t claim a trend when your noise exceeds the magnitude of the so called trend.

  205. Ben says:

    one more thing. What would you say about an election poll that said 50% +/- 45% of US citizens would reelect Obama in 2012?

    50% means nothing with a margin of error of 45%.

    Well, your temperature fluctuations meaning nothing as because the margin of error of the available data is over 100%.
