National Home Prices up 6.8% YOY

From HousingWire:

CoreLogic: Home prices rise 6.8% in October

Home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased by 6.8% in the month of October when compared with one year ago, according to CoreLogic’s (CLGX) latest Home Price Index.

CoreLogic’s latest Home Price Index and HPI Forecast showed that home prices rose slightly in October over the previous month, rising 1% over September.

September’s Home Price Index was also up 0.6% compared to August.

“As we move forward, the rise in home prices will need to be better correlated to family income trends over time to avoid homes becoming unaffordable for many,” Nallathambi said. “This is especially true in several metropolitan areas where home prices have grown rapidly.”

CoreLogic’s report also showed that home prices are projected to increase by 5.2% percent on a year-over-year basis from Oct. 2015 to Oct. 2016, and the projected month-over-month gain will be just 0.1% from Oct. 2015 to Nov. 2015.

“Many markets have experienced a low inventory of homes for sale along with strong buyer demand, which is sustaining upward pressure on home prices. These conditions are likely to persist as we enter 2016,” said Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist for CoreLogic. “A year from now, as we finish out October 2016, we expect the CoreLogic national Home Price Index appreciation to slow to 5.2%.”

So thank people like Rockefeller for why we need regulation, they proved that we do indeed need it.

    “Rockefeller’s enormous wealth and success made him a target of muckraking journalists, reform politicians and others who viewed him as a symbol of corporate greed and criticized the methods with which he’d built his empire. As The New York Times reported in 1937: “He was accused of crushing out competition, getting rich on rebates from railroads, bribing men to spy on competing companies, of making secret agreements, of coercing rivals to join the Standard Oil Company under threat of being forced out of business, building up enormous fortunes on the ruins of other men, and so on.””

    You take away govt, and they have more money than anyone else. Will they not become some form of govt one way or the other in this position?

    You think because there is a govt, this is where their power comes from? You truly believe this? I don’t know, but don’t you think money is where their power comes from? Take away govt and they will still be buying people out to get what they want. Did you see how standard oil took over and black mailed every single business sector during its rise to power? The govt barely took back the power from these barons. They were more powerful than the govt. We are lucky that a rough rider named teddy roosevelt said enough is enough and ran for president to take on these barons. Why would I want to go back to that kind of world?

    Bank of Japan’s Message to Unions: Ask for More Cash
    Sharper wage growth seen as essential in battle against deflation

    By TAKASHI NAKAMICHI
    Updated Dec. 2, 2015 3:27 a.m. ET

    TOKYO—Bank of Japan officials are getting frustrated with labor union pay demands, people close to the central bank say. The problem? They should be asking for more.

    The officials are convinced that sharper wage growth is essential for overcoming more than a decade of deflation. But many unionized workers are softening their wage demands compared with last year, despite surging profits and a tight labor market.

Here’s what Mustafa Saadi, a Shiite commander involved in that particular effort has to say about America’s relationship with ISIS:“It is not in doubt. ISIS is almost finished. They are weak. If only America would stop supporting them, we could defeat them in days.”

    A Shell hydrogeologist testified in the South Lake Tahoe case that he first dealt with an MTBE spill in 1980 in Rockaway, N.J., where seven MTBE plumes were leaking from underground storage tanks. [Excerpt | Full document] By 1981, when the Shell scientist wrote an internal report on the Rockaway plumes, the joke inside Shell was that MTBE really stood for “Most Things Biodegrade Easier.” Later, other versions of the joke circulated, including “Menace Threatening Our Bountiful Environment,” or apropos to the present attempt to limit liability, “Major Threat to Better Earnings.”

    Actually. In all of my research on Ethanol, the problem is that as ethanol decays (as well as any other alcohol), it attracts moisture. So the best thing one can do, when it comes to storing ethanol fuel, is to fill it all the way to the top so there is no room for water to be sucked into the gas tank. I always add Stabill to my 5 gallon canisters.

    It’s funny. I mixed some 40:1 gas/oil (plus Stabill) for my weedwacker back in 2004 which was pre-ethanol. Just this year, I finished it up that 2 gallons of gas. The gas lasted over ten years. I tried adding some fresh ethanol gas and oil and it took forever to start, and ran poorly. I dumped it, put in true-fuel and she purred like a kitten. First pull from cold too. Same with my leaf blower. The ethanol free fuel is pricy, but worth it with small engine equipment. Or, you can rebuild your carburetor once or twice a year. All hail corn fuel.

    Rags, I don’t know. This article reads like a proponent of big business in the name of efficiency. It seems this author thinks that bigger is better in the name of efficiency. It’s funny, because this author probably thinks of big govt as the devil, but at the same time is advocating for big business. Big business=big govt. Big business gets to decide what is best for everyone, which is exactly what big govt does. How can you advocate for small govt and at the same time advocate for big business like standard oil that controlled 90% of the market?

    What would have happened if the govt didn’t come up with anti-trust laws? What would happen if Rockefeller continued to grow standard oil and then passed it on to his kids? Would they still run the giant business in an efficient manner? When the easy growth was gone, would they try to obtain growth by eliminating jobs and making other workers pick up the slack? I can see a lot of problems if standard oil was allowed to continue to grow and was left in the hands of people that have no way of dealing with the long term problems that come with a mature and established business.

    Why would you want to put all our energy requirements as a nation into the hands of a single business? This is big govt without the name. Wouldn’t you rather have lots of smaller companies competing against each other? What happens if this business with a 90% market share messes up? Now that we put all our eggs in one basket, the nation is screwed if something happens with this energy company. I don’t know, I can’t support the idea of a business controlling 90% of the market, too many things can go wrong.

    “All men—including exceptional men such as Rockefeller—have a right to take their enterprises as far as their vision and effort will take them. To throttle an individual because he is a superlative producer who supplies an abundance of life-serving goods to people eager to pay for them is to assault the central requirement of human life: the virtue of productivity.

    It is time to bury the myth of Rockefeller the “robber baron” and to replace it with the truth about this paragon of production. And it is time to repeal the assault on such men that is antitrust law and replace it with the full legal recognition of individual rights.”

Also, two carbs on my commercial grade wacker. If you don’t add anything to the gas, do not use gas that is more than 2 weeks old or you risk destroying your carb.

I was able improvise and use my remaining gallon of moonshine and mothballs as stabilizer so I was able to stay ahead of the bear and limp back into the village for fuel. Make no bones about it that old boar was hell bent on doing damage to me taking all of the meat I had trapped to turn into jerky. Now I have lots of Grizzly Jerky. I know that a lot of folks will not eat Grizzly meat mind you since most these old boars stuff themselves with rotten salmon. Well my butcher was able to turn him into some spicy smoked sausage, which we now sell to the tourists for $30 dollars a pound.

    “Dad, somebody is shooting inside our building,” the woman texted. “I’m hiding in a closet.”

    “Someone is shooting.”

    “I’m scared.”

    Mr. Shin said the woman later let him know that she had gotten out of the facility unharmed.

    Scores of witnesses who fled the building were brought to a golf course on the south of the building. They were moved from the scene in part because of fear of a “potential explosive device,” according to law enforcement officials whose communications were broadcast over a police scanner.

    What is the Inland Regional Services?
    Inland Regional Services, the scene of the shooting, is a nonprofit agency that serves people with developmental disabilities in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. The facility’s Facebook page said 670 staff members served more than 30,200 people. It was opened in 1971.

    It was criticized in 2010 for its contracting practices and what auditors described as a culture of employee intimidation, according to The Press Enterprise. A 2011 audit found that the agency misspent almost $10 million and was required to repay the state, according to The Press Enterprise.

    ’At Least 20 Victims’ Brought Out of the Facility, Reporter on Scene Says
    Alex Vasquez, an NBC4 videographer at the scene of the shooting in San Bernadino, described in a live broadcast seeing “at least 20 victims” in a triage center.

    He said no more victims were being brought out of the facility, the Inland Regional Center, where the police responded to the mass shooting.

    The local police scanner is carrying live exchanges among emergency crews in San Bernardino.

    Over the past few minutes, reports coming across the scanner have noted that hostages have been cleared from the “south building” of Inland Regional Services, which works with individuals with developmental disabilities, and from the second floor of the “north building,” but that medical assistance is needed there.

    Scores of witnesses who fled were brought to a golf course on the south of the building, moved from the scene in part because of fear of a “potential explosive device,” according to law enforcement officials whose conversation was broadcast over a police scanner.

    Why should one person control 90% of a market? When someone controls that much of a market, it’s not even capitalism anymore, you are competing against yourself. Too much can go wrong in the long term with this approach. It’s no different than the U.S.S.R taking over private business and controlling an entire industry. You see problems with that, but you see no problems with an individual given the same power?

    In NJ, you’ll need a motorcycle endorsement on your license, but you don’t need to do the test, you just get a restriction that says you are only allowed trikes. As it is enclosed, you don’t need a helmet, although I’m not sure if that law covers kids in the back seat.
