Haven’t pawed through all the comments I’ve missed, but found out that the feds guarantee 89% of home loans these days, about double what it used to be. In other words, just like it has been since the Repubs lowered interest rates to help the market, the government is still controlling the housing market. We have a long way to go before we are pricing correctly. I’d just love to have heard the meeting between Greenspan, Trick “Dick” Cheney, and Dubya where they explained what they were doing.
AG “We’ve had a terrorist attack and the economy is in dire straits. We need to create a bubble in the housing market.”
GWB “Right, we gotta finish off what Al Qaeda started.”
DC “Um, no George, that’s not what we meant.” (chuckling under his breath)
AG “We’re going to create an ownership society. Everybody’s going to own a home. The government is going to help people and it will boost the economy.”
GWB “Oh right, like welfare.”
DC “Something like that, yeah.” (belly laugh, taps his boy on the shoulder and leaves to watch snuff films in the White House theater)
Jobless claims -> Dow is down again. Repeat after me, there is no better investment than the stock market, it always goes up in the long run. The baby boomers and the Arabs have a lot of disposable cash and they have to put it somewhere. Computers have revolutionized the way we work, leading to the new economy. Everyone will be rich and will buy lots of gadgets and use lots of health care, plus they will go on lots of trips. Investing wisely will assure your retirement. Why I know people who make more money in the market than they do from their jobs. Wouldn’t it be great if the government privatized social security so that we could invest our savings in the market?
Rest assured, it’s safe as houses.

Heck, I thought you and Doom invented the whole Interweb.
Islam is a degenerate death cult.
“…Moreover, religious buildings are symbols of supremacy to many Muslims; hence the reason mosques are ubiquitous to the Muslim world whereas churches are all but — and in some Muslim nations totally — banned. It is precisely because of this ingrained view towards the significance of religious buildings that Al Azhar Muslims are convinced that no sane Muslim would adamantly pursue the construction of a 9/11 mosque, which must instead be “a new conspiracy against Islam and Muslims.”
Incidentally, how does one interpret President Barrack Hussein Obama’s recent support for the 9/11 mosque? He certainly spent enough time growing up in the Muslim world to have a better understanding of the Muslim mindset — including its take on religious buildings as symbols of supremacy — than the average American. Far from approving it, then, he of all presidents should appreciate the triumphalist overtones a mega-mosque so near to Ground Zero conveys to Islamists.”

Hmmm…
“This chart shows that an entity (or more likely several entities) is consistently selling gold into the PM Fix in such large quantities that the selling suppresses the gold price to the extent that the cumulative intraday change is negative while the gold price has been increasing. The entity doing such selling must have access to a large amount of physical gold and must not be interested in selling for profit. The only possible culprit is a central bank or several central banks. As the central banks do not trade directly, there must be bullion banks who are acting on their behalf.
The London Gold Fix is conducted by the representatives of five bullion banks: HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Scotia Mocatta, Societe Generale, and Barclays. The “fix” is no longer conducted in an actual meeting but by conference call. The bullion banks’ representatives communicate with their trading floors and with each other during the conference call to find the clearing price at which all buying interest and all selling interest is balanced. When this price is determined the price is said to be “fixed”. This is exclusively a physical gold market activity. It is balancing the number of bars of gold for sale with the number of bars demanded for purchase at a particular price.”

ChiFi (64):
I’m gonna wait until you figure out how to post the link before I attempt to explain it.
Brilliant new piece by Krieger:
“To assume that the dollar will not be devalued in a major way versus real everyday assets such as commodities (especially real money that is no government’s liability such as gold) is in my opinion counter to all common sense and is logic that a ten year old can understand but escapes the quants on Wall Street. I guess the only real difference between my view and someone like Rosenberg’s is the timing of it all. I have made it very clear that I think this will all be a relatively near-term event (the entire monetary and financial system will be dead within two years and something new where gold plays a major role is created). I think the food, oil and precious metal price surge that is coming has already started and will accelerate since those in political power will print and print and do everything possible to avoid deflationary collapse. This is not to say that I think they can avoid deflationary collapse, what it means is that in a fiat money system deflationary collapse can mean hyperinflation. The entire inflation/deflation debate is in my view asinine. If the debate is between 4% inflation and deflation then I agree, deflation it is. The larger point is that deflation and hyperinflation are not mutually exclusive they are two sides of the same coin.
So let’s say I am correct and the dollar is being devalued already in a major way as we speak versus the real everyday goods people are forced to buy and that this will accelerate rapidly from here. With a 2.57% yield on a 10 year treasury if the basket of goods purchased in a given year starts to accelerate beyond 3% there is a huge problem for the owner of treasuries. You will need to rely on continued appreciation in principal just to keep up. Of course this can happen but the higher the bonds go the tougher the math becomes. Furthermore, why not just buy gold? One asset is being manipulated higher by the Fed through its purchases (treasuries) and one is feared by central banks the world over that are constantly attempting to arrest its rise (gold). As more and more people and investors grow distrustful of their own governments, more and more people will want to bet on its ultimate default one way or the other. This means of the buying of gold not treasuries.”

“This all brings me to the 0% BLT economy. This is actually a phrase a friend said to me the other day and I thought it summed it up perfectly. He said pretty soon a BLT sandwich will cost $12 but at least interest rates will be 0%. Maybe Geithner will provide 0% financing on trips to McDonalds with loans that can then be securitized by Wall Street and sold to some pension fund manager that uses leverage to enhance its yield all with a government guarantee! In a similar vein, I would like to point out the charts for October Cattle and October Lean Hogs. They are soaring. Is anyone talking about this?”

If you are interested, Cabela’s is having a 4 hour special on Saturday—$99 for surplus Russian army rifles, 7.65 so they take the big rounds. These aren’t AK’s, and they appear to be old, semi auto long rifles. Hardly good for modern warfare, but at that price, you can afford to arm your own militia. Will be interested to see if they sell out.
They are selling a lot of black guns too. Quite a few assault styles in .22, which is curious. Good for cover fire, I guess. Never priced them so I cannot say if they are cheap or not. Not legal in NJ; only useful if you plan to leave them on that side of the river.

Nothing is illegal…if you don’t get caught. Thanks for the heads-up on the 7.65 compatibles. Those suckers pack a punch. For $99, how can you go wrong?

I priced out a M1A. 1600 new. Thats a little too rich for me. If anyone comes across one used for under 1k let me know.
Nom 78
Re black 22’s…. Dont discount psychology. Relatively few people have the familiarity with weapons to recognize the difference between a .308 assault rifle and a .22 look-a-like. Granted if forced to use it you may find your self quickly out gunned, but most people would be more intimidated by a black .22 then an M1 garand or m14 with a wooden stock, both of which are much more of a threat.
Nom,
a few black .22’s mixed in with some real heavy rifles such as an m1a could act as a substantial psychological force multiplier. With the caveat being that you better have some basic tactics worked out for how to use them if forced to. A heavy .308 like the m1a will see a car door or wall of a house as concealment as it can readily penetrate the majority of both. a black .22 would see both obstacles a cover and not readily penetrate either.
Also consider that the .22 wont penetrate most body armor while the .308 is very capable of penetrating a large majority of body armor (depends on a lot of factors)
Then again such scenarios are very 3rd world and not a likely occurrence.
@11: Pant up demand…
hyde psychologically the black .22 would scare the beejesus out of most. Only good for close range head shots. More than capable of wounding and putting most folks out of service. Getting shot is still getting shot. .22 just does not have any knockdown power.
Nom 7.65 for 99bucks almost makes me wish I was a Pennsyltucky resident
pain
Only good for close range head shots
Even that is questionable. Unless you have the barrel against the persons head a .22 can easily bounce off of the human skull. (Note, a few famous mafia hitmen loved .22 pistol for jobs. a point blank shot placed at the back of the head where the spine meets the skull will cause the bullet to bounce around inside the skull)
There was a news paper article a year or so ago about a car jacking gone wrong. The carjacker used a .22 and tried to shoot the person for refusing to get out of the car. The .22 penetrated the glass of the window and hit the person in the arm. The bullet DID NOT penetrate the skin!!!!
Its still good for making people take cover. people are ducking for cover regardless of the caliber being fired at them!
[82] doom
Bayonets??? I have no idea, but I don’t think so. I got the circular and the rifles are Mosin-Nagant 7.62x54R, said to be in excellent condition. It looks like a WWII sniper rifle. Again, hardly practical, but cheap, and they are selling the ammo for $10 per box of 20 rounds.
BTW, they will sell to you. It is illegal for you to buy, not for them to sell. I took no chances and did my buying as a PA resident.
[85] hyde
I have a similar defense plan, relying on .22s for covering fire and larger calibers for takedown/sniper fire. Handguns for close-in, of course. As for psy effect, I don’t doubt you, but the idea of laying out $500 apiece for a .22 cal Umarex Colt M-4 OPS is a bit steep.
But they have quite a few badass guns in black and mossy oak. Can’t run afoul of the NJ “looks” restrictions with mossy oak.
re# 89 – Cousin of mine was shot right between the eyebrows with a .22 on a robbery gone bad back in the day in the Bronx. Only had a scratch where the bullet struck him. An inch down and to the left or right and he would be a dead man the bullet would have penetrated the eye and bounced around a bit inside.
He did also take one through the arm, when he put his hands up in defense. That round went cleanly through his leather jacket and his forearm.
One lucky SOB.
86] hyde
Cabelas also has a black DPMS Oracle .308, with 2 19 round mags and hard case, for $1,000. For $700, you can get the same gun in 5.56×45 with 2 30 round mags instead. Remington has a couple of totally badass guns, one .308 and one .45o, but you are looking at upwards of $1,300. Too rich for my blood.
[91] juice
Back in H.S., I narrowly missed a robbery at the market where I worked. The gunmen then tried to carjack a classmate’s car, but he was very large, very italian, and told them to fcuk off. They shot him in the arm with a .22. Just broke the skin and that was it.
Rumor had it that his father was a made man. Gunmen were local punks. When it became common knowledge who Louie was, one gunman turned himself in, and the other beat feet to Florida where he did the same.
Pain 88
in the “text book” sense, most armed conflicts, whether military or guerrilla/civilian take place at less then 50 meters and tend to converge as the conflict progresses. Data shows that, as you pointed out, a .22 simply isnt going to knock people out of the conflict fast enough to have a decisive effect, and can leave a person combat effective even after taking a round.
Then again its not to say that a .22 cant be lethal.
Nom 92
While the .308 is generally more powerful then the 5.56, the 5.56 actually tends to be more incapacitating due to its increased probability of bouncing around in the targets body upon impact, instead of following a linear trajectory. The increased power of the .308 causes it to generally follow a linear path and not bounce as much. The other side of the argument is that .308 has better penetrating power and is more effective when body armor is involved…

hyde while I don’t dispute the fact that 22 does not have any power. I have taken down deer using one with a well placed shot. all guns are deadly, it is the effective range that is the problem.

Accordingly, depository institution holding companies that had more than $15 billion in total consolidated assets on December 31, 2009, will no longer be able to include trust preferred securities as tier 1 regulatory capital, and would be obliged to replace their outstanding pre-May 19, 2010, trust preferred securities with qualifying tier 1 regulatory capital during the phase-out period. Depository institution holding companies with less than $15 billion in total assets could continue to count their pre-May 19, 2010, trust preferred securities as tier 1 regulatory capital, but could not issue new capital-qualifying trust preferred securities.

Trust preferred securities have long played a controversial role as a component of tier 1 regulatory capital for depository institutions and their holding companies.1
During the financial regulatory reform debate in the United States Congress, there was discussion of the appropriateness of trust preferred securities as a limited component of tier 1 capital in the aftermath of the credit crisis.2 Trust preferred securities are a popular form of regulatory capital, having steadily grown in both number of issuers and in outstanding amount since first permitted as qualifying tier 1 capital. As of December 31, 2008, there were approximately 1400 bank holding companies (BHCs) that had issued over $148 billion of trust preferred securities (compared with 110 BHCs with $31 billion of trust preferred securities in 1999).3
The so-called “Collins Amendment” was proposed in the United States Senate to eliminate trust preferred securities as tier 1 regulatory capital for depository institution holding companies and nonbank financial companies that are supervised by the Federal Reserve Board. However, this provision was subsequently modified in the Conference Committee on the reform legislation to apply only to depository institution holding companies that (i) have more than $15 billion of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009 or (ii) were not mutual holding companies on May 19, 2010.4 This provision is currently included as Section 171 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which is printed in the June 29, 2010, Conference Report on H.R. 4173 (Conference Report).5
Affected depository institution holding companies have a three-year phase-out period, beginning January 1, 2013, to replace the related trust preferred securities (see Section 171(b)(4)(B) of the Dodd-Frank Act) with qualifying tier 1 regulatory capital. Similarly, most US bank holding company subsidiaries of foreign banking organizations that have issued trust preferred securities would have a five-year transition period.
Notably, for trust preferred securities that were issued on or after May 19, 2010, there is no phase-out period and the disqualification would become effective on May 19, 2010.6
Accordingly, depository institution holding companies that had more than $15 billion in total consolidated assets on December 31, 2009, will no longer be able to include trust preferred securities as tier 1 regulatory capital, and would be obliged to replace their outstanding pre-May 19, 2010, trust preferred securities with qualifying tier 1 regulatory capital during the phase-out period. Depository institution holding companies with less than $15 billion in total assets could continue to count their pre-May 19, 2010, trust preferred securities as tier 1 regulatory capital, but could not issue new capital-qualifying trust preferred securities.
Notably, qualifying “small bank holding companies,” as defined by existing Federal Reserve Board supervisory policy statements (in general, bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $500 million),7 would be exempt from Section 171 of the Dodd-Frank Act and could continue to issue capital-qualifying trust preferred securities.
Of course, governing instruments for existing trust preferred securities will dictate which related trust preferred securities can be called and when.
Affected sponsors of trust preferred securities should carefully review the governing instruments for the requirements of a call and, in cases where the no-call period may not yet have fully run, carefully review the definition of “Capital Treatment Event” (or similar term) used for trust preferred securities. This is because there are different definitions used in the capital markets and the differences may be material to which specific issue of trust preferred securities is callable for adverse changes in regulatory capital treatment and when.

Grim, et al.:
A short sale is a sale at less than is OWED on the house, not less than what someone previously paid for the house. Unless you have seen the mortgages on these houses, there is absolutely no way to know if this is a short sale or not and is really unfair to the howeowners.
John, #111… Wouldn’t the MLS listing have information on whether something is a short sale or not (would be relevant because the buyers will need to know what hurdles they face for approval of their offer)? I’ll go out on a limb and say that Grim wouldn’t make such a newbie mistake, so no harm done…
? Cabela’s sale I can buy said 99$ gun with an NJ drivers lic. but illegal?
i dont see anything on any of the listings that indicate any of them are short sales, so it does seem like a mistake. i think it goes part and parcel with everyone’s eager attempt on here to see people lose money or prices crash. on some of grim’s listings, he’s calling it a short sale simply b/c they have reduced the price from their original list price. a few that i checked (and i can check them all if need be) actually previously sold for less than the people are currently asking–that makes it a short sale? huh?
John
Actually, I do know. These are all listed as short sales requiring lender approval in the MLS.
You do realize this is something that is required to be disclosed to buyers, right?
Trust me, I’m a Realtor (no, really).
114 – check the agent remarks
i mean the one in franklin lakes was purchased 15 yrs ago for $541K—they are now asking $1.4M–what about those facts makes it a short sale?

Aug. 19 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. Congressional Budget Office predicted the budget deficit for fiscal year 2011 will be $1.066 trillion, revised up from an estimate of $996 billion in March.
The nonpartisan agency’s semi-annual budget report is likely to add fuel to the November midterm election debate over reducing the deficit at a time when the nation’s economic recovery may call for more stimulus. Today’s report estimated that the deficit will be 7 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product in 2011.
CBO Director Doug Elmendorf said the agency’s projections haven’t changed significantly since its March forecast, reflecting an economy that continues to struggle to recover from recession and the prolonged impact of bailouts and other spending designed to spur growth.
“Unfortunately, this is a case where no news is not good news,” Elmendorf said. “The country faces serious budget problems and serious economic problems.”
The CBO projected that the cumulative deficit for the next decade will be $6.27 trillion, compared with its March estimate of $5.99 trillion.
The CBO’s deficit forecasts don’t include changes in tax revenue or government spending not yet approved by Congress. When Congress returns from an August recess for a pre-election session, lawmakers will focus on fiscal policy, including a partisan debate over extending tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 under President George W. Bush.
Income Tax Rates
Those cuts include lower rates on income, capital gains and dividends, a $1,000 child credit and relief from the so-called marriage penalty.
President Barack Obama argues that the nation can’t afford to extend the tax cuts for individuals making more than $200,000 or households with annual incomes over $250,000. The cost of extending the cuts for the most prosperous Americans would be about $700 billion over a decade, said Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
The CBO said today the deficit for the current fiscal year ending Sept. 30 will be $1.34 trillion. That is 9.1 percent of GDP, or the second largest shortfall in the past 65 years, exceeded only by last year’s 9.9 percent.
The agency blamed this year’s shortfall primarily on weak tax revenue and policies enacted in response to the economic decline. Last year’s economic stimulus package accounts for $392 billion of the 2010 deficit, the budget office said
121: Yes, narrowing the gap!

Hi Mike,
Not too forward. So long as I can have an outdoor GTG, it should be okay. It’s short notice, I know but pretty much certifiable folks from here (and significants/spouses/kids) are welcome.
Even REinvestor101. But everyone has to play nice.
If it looks like it’s too short notice – I wouldn’t mind a mini GTG (for folks who can) and then a “real” at-home GTG after my exam in Sept. That one would be easier to prepare for as I’d have more time (and others would have better notice.)
Plus, I’d have time to get gussied up for my (smoochy smooch) REinvestor-poo.
Grim’s got email/phones/contact #s and I’d probably enlist him (sorry, grim!) as the go-to guy to help arrange to some degree… (jb, you’re not gonna kill me yet, are you?)

It’d be a blast to get everyone together for a real GTG instead of the micromini-GTGs that I haven’t been able to make. Besides, somehow or other I think Doom needs a drink.

Hindenburg Omen update:
“Today we got our first Hindenburg Omen confirmation. The number of new highs was 136, and new lows was at 69 (per the traditional WSJ source). Granted this particular criteria set was a little weak as the 69 is precisely on the borderline for confirmation (the 2.2%), and the new highs number was not more than double the new lows (although it was close). Less gating were the McClellan oscillator which was negative at -83.6, and the 10 week MVA, which rose, which were the two remaining conditions. The first omen was spotted on August 12 – a week later the H.O has been confirmed. The more confirmations, the scarier it gets from a technical perspective, not to mention the conversion into a self-fulfilling prophecy (like every other technical indicator).”

Although I have a house full of sick kids at the moment. One took a trip to Valley ER last night. She fell at camp yesterday and hit her head.

Today she still can’t hold down food and her siblings are now throwing it out the other end.

Q
Notes from the hinterland:
Mrs. Beer got a long overdue raise in pay today. She’s very proudq of herself and I’m proud of her too.
Asking prices are down here in Hunterdon, but there’s still a lot of denial. Can’t get tomorrow’s price today. I’m just hoping otomorrow’s price comes sooner rather than later.
W
Mrs. Beer’s BFF has a neighbor who has been trying to sell since February. Started off at 410K and has been cutting asking by 10k every month or two. Latest scuttlebutt is their Realtor ™ told them they would have to remodel their kitchen to get their (reduced by 40K) asking price. (Shout out to House Hunter- this is 08534).
Went to see Mom and Pop Beer this past weekend out in Central PA. Mom told me not to buy a house – prices are declining and peoples are losing money. Wait and you’ll get a much better deal. When I told her that I’ve been telling her that for a long time now she looked at me like I had three heads.
I just got my Droid X so if I screw up this post I’m blaming it on the new phone.
Enjoying a nice Flying Fish Farmhouse Summer Ale right now. Has anyone tried New Jersey Brewing Company? So far, I’ve only seen the stout. Little too warm for me to be drinking stouts, but I’ll give it a try in a month or two. I saw that a lot of Oktoberfests are out today. Get them while they last!
Look, all I can say is that you guys are right: the country is ruined, she’s an old pr0nstar who has done it up the Hersey Highway too much. The problem is that Georgie Orgie and the Big O! are terrified of facing those facts so they prop it up to help the boys on Wall Street and to avoid repercussions come Election Day. They’re truly adept at those kind of lies by now.
As far as personal gain goes, you’re ratted. The smart money is on keeping the charade going as long as possible… The only question is timing and there’s no way we can predict it. The peeps that get lucky will be the ones we think knew it all along. But it’s just going to be luck, mark my words. It could be 6 months, it could be 18 years. I give it longer if the Republicans are in power since they’re Straussians, but make no mistake both parties should be banned from further political action the way the Nazis are in Germany.

Death of the ‘McMansion’: Era of Huge Homes Is Over
“They’ve been called McMansions, Starter Castles, Garage Mahals and Faux Chateaus but here’s the latest thing you can call them — History. In the past few years, there have been an increasing number of references made to the “McMansion glut” and the “McMansion backlash,” as more towns pass ordinances against garishly large homes, which are generally over 3,000 square feet and built very close together. Well, count 2010 as the year the last nail was hammered into the McCoffin: In its latest report on home-buying trends, real-estate site Trulia declares: “The McMansion Era Is Over.”
Just 9 percent of the people surveyed by Trulia said their ideal home size was over 3,200 square feet. Meanwhile, more than one-third said their ideal size was under 2,000 feet.”

Mosin-Nagant 7.62 at Cabelas’ actually comes with bayonet.

I wouldn’t recommend this weapon for anything other than decorating your house.

Generally, people have the government they deserve. If no politician can tell the voters truth about them and be elected, we end up with those who tell lies and get elected. If since 1990 per capita consumption in the U.S. increased by 75% without actually making more of anything other than financial products and housing, this consumption level has to be rolled 20 years back plus some – as we’ve sold our factories for scrap metal already. To our surprise, most of the ideas are not marketable.
It scares the sh.it out of me when I figure out that after November election the self -righteous frauds like Kevin Hassett will tell what to do with the economy:
Manufacturing has been declining as a share of U.S. gross domestic product for some time, from about 28 percent in 1950 to about 11 percent in 2009. Any economist can tell you that this decline is not necessarily a cause for concern.
Over the past few decades, our economy has transformed dramatically, and the importance of innovation has increased sharply. A 2006 study by the Federal Reserve found that investment in intangible capital is more important today, in the aggregate, than investment in tangible capital. We have become an ideas economy.
That’s not a problem. It’s economic evolution, a natural and positive force. (this is from his recent Bloomberg article http://noir.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&sid=awCdt7JV1kro .
