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%.”

New Jersey Statewide – Up 2.0% YOY
New York-Jersey City-White Plains NY-NJ Metro Area – Up 6.4% YOY

I know my history, do you? This is a fine example of why you need a govt to check and balance individuals under a capitalist free market. You, rags, and fast eddie types are unable to understand this. You can’t trust certain human beings, they will try to take advantage of any situation they are in. 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 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.”

Firms contributed a better-than-expected 217,000 positions for the month, according to the latest count from payroll processing firm ADP and Moody’s Analytics. The number was ahead of Wall Street expectations for 190,000 new private sector jobs and topped the 196,000 positions created in October, a number that was revised upward from the initially reported 182,000.

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.”

The whole ethanol mess is a perfect example of excessive government meddling (overregulation). Plus, it’s horrible on small engines.

“Auto sales are supposedly strong”
You can say that again. LAD, our investment clubs best stock of 2015, is on fire. We started our position as oil prices (12/24/14) collapsed. We have been adding to it ever since. Even with the continued purchases, we are still averaging nearly 50% annualized growth on that one.

It sounds to be like the ethanol that isn’t in your gas gets ingested by you in the bush? I used to do that too, but a different kind of bush.

In my small engines, I use premium only and usually add stabilizer for any gas not used that day or shortly thereafter. More money but less worry. The lawn tractor is the only thing I leave gas in, but that’s because it sees pretty frequent use. I don’t fill the tank so as to not let gas age and I do run it dry periodically.

re: # 3 – “What happens when FB shares are worth zero in 5 years?”
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.
Best thing to do is top off the tanks with Moonshine.
Me like Trapper Dan.
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.”

Dead on. It destroys small engines and boat engines. I went though 3 carbs on my blower because of this crap. I have now started adding ethanol shield to my gas for small engines and I have not had a problem since. Before that, 3 carbs in 3 years on my commercial grade blower. 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.

Yellen said the economy is ready for a rate hike. Can’t wait to see the Great Pumpkin. It’s coming! Hopefully by 2017/2018, with 2019 being the latest. The writing is on the wall.
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?

I once stopped my snow machine to take a selfie and I was charged by an angry Grizzly. I quickly grabbed 416 Winchester and made quick work of him. That Grizzly had been tracking me for days. It was a big old boar and had ulterior motives, it almost got me when I ran out of gasoline. 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.
I wish small engine equipment would be manufactured with more convenient oil and fuel drains.
I usually drain my equipment and run it dry as opposed to using Stabil, but draining a big tank though a short hose usually makes a good mess.

I just transferred the fuel from my pressure washer and lawnmower to my two snowblowers a couple of days ago. This is the greatest siphon ever.
Though I agree. How hard would it be for manufactures to put drain bolts at the lowest point of gas and oil reservoirs?
On a different note, I just changed the air filter on Mazda 6 GT. Didn’t even need a screwdriver or socket wrench. Just two clips. Did my cabin air filter too without any tools. Took a total of 4 minutes to change both. Dealer would have charged me $100 easy for that work.

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.

Zukerberg “donation” with strings attached….. Lobby for legislation is my personal favorite. Why pull a lever when you can just buy the vote you want…..

By using a limited liability company instead of a nonprofit corporation or foundation, the Zuckerberg family will be able to go beyond making philanthropic grants. They will invest in companies, lobby for legislation and seek to influence public policy debates, which nonprofits are restricted from doing under tax laws.

Come on, reaching on this one. Comparing a monopoly in the energy market to a google search engine is def reaching. Plus, if google owned the entire market with no competitors it would violate anti-trust laws….right?

Do you use google as you default search engine? They’re about 70% of the market.
re # 73 – So far only reliable eyewitness report is they were having a holiday party and coworker started acting strange left then returned with a mask on and a started shooing.
Listened to reports from Cali in the car. This one was like no other. I don’t know what to think or believe.
Joyce, looking for a response. I have not copy and pasted anything. All original thoughts. I still can’t believe the author of that article, advocating for small govt and at the same time, trying to justify standard oil’s monopoly (aka advocating for big businesses having entire market shares on the basis of efficiency). People are nuts. If that’s not a$$ backwards, I don’t know what is. Defenders of logic, yea okay.

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?

If one is too successful, even if by purely being the most efficient, they must be torn down.

Just read Wikipedia so you can speak like an expert on the subject.
You love to claim you do nothing but employ logic as you deftly craft your arguments, which is a hilarious statement.
I will try to start over. If someone becomes the industry leader, only through being the most efficient and effective (and nothing nefarious), you’re only inhibiting progress by using the power of the state to tear them down.
“All original thoughts”
I’d be embarrassed to admit out loud.
Police chief said that city and court buildings were closed in response, interesting, considering the statement that local and county officials may have been at a meeting/luncheon at the building.
Listening to Wolf Blitzer. Right after police chief said weapons could not be identified. A minute later Wolf says “probably an AK-47 or other automatic weapon”
Now their expert says militia or antigovernment group.
Good thing CNN had all the facts. Perhaps they should run the investigation
Gangs? Big gang activity in San Bernadino area. Looking at news flow there were some big gang prosecutions this year.
I can’t seem to access the event calendar for the site, but that’s the clue – it’s the event that was targeted.

It’s amazing that sales didn’t drop 100%. Who would buy a VW after what they did? Maybe if they were giving them away.
Who would buy a VW after what they did?
Capitalist republicans.
Grim, I can’t begin to know. I thought gangs but motive? That will be key here. Find out who had it in for this group.
Pure conjecture on my part, but possibly it’s not the event, but rather the (size of the) crowd?. I don’t think the Paris Concert attack had anything to do with it being a heavy metal concert.

“Police chief said that city and court buildings were closed in response, interesting, considering the statement that local and county officials may have been at a meeting/luncheon at the building.”
Similar to a riot, that behavior is expected. The state protects its own property; the hell with those they supposedly serve.
Local or county officials suggest personal beef. I recall a lone wolf in NH who drove around and settled scores. Developed lethal case of lead poisoning at the hands of the Vermont State Police
It’s for the greater good, why can’t you understand this. Sure, under perfect conditions, this industry leader will continue to do well with no competition(competition are unable to enter market, it has been locked and sealed by the industry leader). 99% of the time this most efficient and effective industry leader that sped up progress on its’ rise up, will hold back progress once it has locked the market down. Of course this blows right over your head.
“I will try to start over. If someone becomes the industry leader, only through being the most efficient and effective (and nothing nefarious), you’re only inhibiting progress by using the power of the state to tear them down.”

If the shooting in San Bernardino is Muslims it is not Islamic extremism it was global warming. If it’s white guys it’s the NRA.
Being multiple confounds things. Columbine was multiple and grudge-based but that’s all that comes to mind outside of gang shootouts and there, multiple victims are collateral.

You are right, they will use regulations to keep him out of the market. Listen, I agree, regulations are the devil. At the same time, I know no regulation is also the monster due to some psychopaths running around.

Idiot,
This is my last attempt at anything resembling a conversation with you. You’re the epitome of being too stupid to realize you’re so stupid.
You cannot say in response: ‘well assuming four other things you didn’t say, I think this will happen, what is wrong with why don’t you get it’
It was put forth that if someone is able to capture majority+ market share purely by being the best, then the state shouldn’t intervene. Yet that lone statement you have a problem with.
You immediately dismiss the standard oil link because each time they tried to cartelize (with other companies not just themself), it failed and failed quickly. Aside from that, they never jacked up prices after capturing huge market share.
If a company is restraining trade through fraud, coercion, or (most likely) government intervention… I have no qualms about ending those abuses. Hmm, I wonder how we should end govt created cartels… with more or less govt?

Grim,
The dark corners of the web have listed a Arabic sounding male name with picture as one of the shooters, and listed two female accomplices as part of his crew.
Everything unconfirmed but the level of material, equipment, and personnel involved points to something planned out in detail and not a spur of the moment decision like was originally described.
Combined with the official statement being “at minimum domestic terrorism”, its not looking good.
Yeah photos on Twitter claiming woman was Arabic.
I’m not going to fight it anymore. I really think I see the light. Rags and Joyce have finally gotten through to me. The history I was taught was one sided. It shaped the way I looked at certain things. I never saw Rockefeller in that light/context. I’m finally realizing that you guys are right. I want what you want. Let the natural order take its place. What Rags describes below, is exactly what I want.
Rags and Joyce, thank you for finally getting me to see the light. I fought hard against the truth, yet you never gave up even though it felt hopeless. Thank you.
Clot, homeboken, fast eddie owe you a bottle, you will not have to deal with my naive posts anymore. I will only ask questions and seek further enlightenment. I’m done fighting it. I’m sick of being the village idiot.

An eyewitness said he got a look at the occupants and said male, young, short black hair and scruffy beards. He was Hispanic and it wasn’t clear if he meant one or two people. But that easily describes a young Muslim male.

According to the heavy.com link it was a “Christmas Party”. I’ve heard some people might be offended by such a thing, so these were clearly insensitive people who were asking for it.
Or maybe got one and was offended that it was such named? OTOH, maybe it was a canned ham? “Here’s your Christmas bonus Sayeed.”

Regulations on this will not be a problem. This is classified as a motorized tricycle and not a car so a lot of the regs Telsa hit are bypassed. This is effectively a Can-Am Spyder with a roof.
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.
Yes, I am on the list for one. My Prius was hit a few weeks back. Not much damage, but started the discussion on its replacement. This is a no brainer for me. High MPG, and 0-60 in 9 seconds. Its going to be a blast to drive.
Nothing new in this for me, but it might bring a few of you in here up to speed.

Better that way. You can continue to feel superior and don’t have to think too hard about what I’m actually trying to tell you. And I don’t have to get out my DSM-IV every time you try to engage.
But I will continue to insult you from time to time. Call it a compulsion and I think folks enjoy it. Nothing especially witty, just off the cuff ad hominem of a crude and superficial sort.
