From the Star Ledger:
Home prices still fall in the N.Y. region
Housing prices in the New York metropolitan area dropped for the fourth consecutive month in December, according to data released today.
Nationwide, prices in the 20 cities that are tracked by Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller housing index dropped 3.1 percent in December from the previous year.
“The housing market is definitely in better shape than it was this time last year,” said David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor’s, in a statement.
In the New York-area, which includes 14 New Jersey counties, the index dropped 6.3 percent from the same period last year.
From the WSJ:
Case-Shiller Adds to Confusion on Housing Market
Tuesday’s latest home-price reading shows that momentum slowed at the end of 2009 for the housing market, adding to the confusion about where prices are headed from here.
The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite index in December fell 0.2% from November, but after adjusting for seasonal factors, home prices were up 0.3%. That was the same change that the index showed in November.
Fifteen of 20 markets tracked by the index showed monthly declines, though the battered Southwest fared well. Las Vegas had its first monthly gain in more than three years (and today’s story helps to explain why conditions there have improved), while Los Angeles led the nation with a 1% monthly increase.
…
Robert Shiller, the Yale University economist who co-founded the index that bears his name, called the home-price rebound during the second half of the year “the most dramatic turnaround” since he began charting home prices in 1987. Home prices fell by 11% for six months ending in April 2009, before rising by around 5% over the following six months. The last time home prices swung so sharply was in April 1991, when a more modest 5% decline over six months was followed by a 2% rally.What followed? “Nothing,” says Mr. Shiller. “The home market was absolutely dead for the better part of a decade after that.” But he says today’s volatility in prices and the massive amount of federal stimulus has made the home-price outlook far more uncertain. “The market has shown a lot of momentum,” he said. “What trend are we seeing now? It’s very ambiguous.”
…
“What worries me right now is the default rate on mortgages,” says Mr. Shiller. “It might go up because of a change in our sense of responsibility to pay mortgages. People are angry and upset.”
From Bloomberg:
High-Scoring Borrowers Pay Cards Ahead of Mortgages
Consumers with high credit scores are more likely to default on mortgages than credit-card loans, said FICO, maker of the scoring formula most widely used by U.S. lenders.
In 2009, consumers with FICO scores from 760 to 789 defaulted on real estate loans at a rate 200 percent greater than credit-card loans, or 0.3 percent of consumers compared with 0.1 percent, the Minneapolis-based company said in a statement today. FICO considers borrowers who are more than 90 days delinquent to be in serious delinquency or default.
“This used to be a problem for subprime,” said Mark Greene, chief executive officer of FICO, in an interview Feb. 19 on Bloomberg Television in New York. “Now we’re starting to see at the high end of the marketplace, people with good FICO scores, having serious delinquency problems.”
Oh Noooes!
A low FICO score is the new black.
From CNBC:
Short Sale Rules May Help Sellers
Homeowners struggling to sell their homes in a short sale are getting some relief, thanks to the federal government’s Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives, or HAFA, program.
Up to now, many short sales — in which the lender accepts a sale of the property for less than the full amount owed — have taken months to complete. Sometimes, the complex and lengthy process has failed, resulting in foreclosure.
HAFA establishes streamlined short sale rules and incentivizes borrowers and lenders to work together to avoid foreclosure. The rules — in effect between April 5, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2012 — also are intended to speed up the short sale process.
“The streamlined short sales process will definitely help homeowners,” says David Liniger, Re/Max International chairman and co-founder.
Prior to HAFA, homeowners often listed their home for sale without an idea of what the lender would accept.
“A lot of sellers and their Realtors have not been able to sort out the problems with short sales and have given up on the process because, even after sending in the correct paperwork, they have sometimes waited three or four months for their lender to respond,” Liniger says.
Under HAFA, borrowers receive preapproved short sale terms from the lender prior to putting the home on the market.

Also, prices rise in areas where inventory is dominated by REO. The banksters entertain cash-only offers, and the investors come out of the woodwork.

It shouldn’t. The only people surprised by this have to have had their heads buried in sand for the past 20 years.
We’ve become so dependent upon debt that credit cards are viewed as an extension of one’s wages. Of course they’re going to keep paying the cc’s, they can’t survive without them because most aren’t earning enough.

Clot – Grim’s post @ 4 was about that HAFA program I asked you about a few days ago. Let’s get those things sold.
David Rosenberg is a sharp cookie. IMO, he has outdone even Roubini (who now spends his time in a nihilistic pursuit of supermodels). His latest missive confirms what I’ve been yelling here for over a year: FHA is a 10-megaton payload of utter and final destruction, which is trip-wired to blow at any minute. When (not if) this puppy goes, final doom is upon us. BTW- as many of the comments on the below-referenced thread state- HUD is a giant slush fund that operates under the public pretense of helping people, while acting as a backdoor mechanism to @ssr@pe the Amerikan public. Don’t expect HUD to help when it hits the fan; chances are, they’ll be going down in flames, too.
Anyone here who thinks I’m crazy…better think again. Rosenberg is as sober and serious a financial geek as they come.
“David Rosenberg at Gluskin Scheff commented today about possible problems at FHA:
FHA … THE NEXT SHOE TO DROP?
We have a contact in the mortgage business who took a good hard look at the delinquency data from the FHA, along with loss severities. There is a very good
chance that in the near future we will see the FHA insurance fund go negative.
You don’t have to have ‘a friend in town’ to get this insight. You just have to go to the HUD website for their REO sales. The number of HUD homes for sale is staggering. There are 50 pages of listings in just Ohio alone. HUD’s chief, Shuan Donovan was in Cincinnati recently. He wrote a blog about his trip:
“Yesterday, I had the opportunity to travel to Cincinnati, Ohio for the one year anniversary of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009”…”What I saw in Cincinnati yesterday is just one example of the economic recovery America is beginning to experience.”
By my count the FHA is listing 500 homes for sale in Ohio. You have to wonder what Mr. Donovan is selling here. This American recovery he is talking about is being tripped up by the FHA’s REO sales.”

There is no reasonable expectation that HAFA will work any better than any of the other programs that preceded it. It was cooked up by the same people…only now, market conditions are even worse.
I’ve read the UST guideline for HAFA from front to back, and there are enough loopholes and triggers for unintended consequences to completely destroy the housing market.
Let’s put it this way: if your institution holds a lot of junior residential liens, you might want to tell your people to get their resumes out on the street.

I keep trying to find a glimmer of hope…the you go and spit in my eye….Man. Thanks a lot.
The gubmint has been furiously propping up housing values for years. Between the FDIC’s backdoor REO dump and the new HAFA program, we could go from stasis to a freefall in prices within 90 days.
My take is that the long-predicted “rush for the exits” is about to be on…and the gubmint and their cronies are positioning themselves to be out the doors before they are barred shut forever.

Wyden-Gregg Bill Would End Tax-Exempts
New tax reform legislation unveiled Tuesday by Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Judd Gregg, R-N.H., would eliminate tax-exempt bonds beginning in 2011, change the tax exemption for state and local bonds to a tax credit, and prohibit the advance refunding of bonds.
Wyden sponsored the original legislation creating the first direct-pay bonds — Build America Bonds — that was eventually added to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. However, the Wyden-Gregg bill is silent on BABs, leading some market participants to question the future of the program, which is slated to expire at the end of the year.

The Economy Looks Like “L”
Gallup began with the news that in January nearly 20 percent of the U.S. workforce “lacked adequate employment”, which was worse than the numbers reported by the Labor Department. According to Reuters, these “findings appear to paint a darker employment picture than official U.S. data,” with about 30 million Americans “underemployed.” And Gallup misses the mark by at least 2 percent, according to John Williams of ShadowStats.com.
On top of those numbers, consumer confidence fell sharply in January from an anticipated 55 to a disappointing but probably realistic 46. A reading of 90 or better indicates a healthy economy.
The problem with option ARMs begins with the fact that people who took out these loans were given the chance to make ultra-low payments for the first few years — and many of them did exactly that. Borrowers, mostly middle- and upper-class with good credit scores, were allowed to make payments that didn’t even cover the interest owed (let alone the principal), with the understanding that payments would spike later on to make up for the shortfall. That allowed people to buy bigger, more expensive houses than they would have been able to qualify for otherwise. Plenty of families banked on rising incomes and an ability to sell their house as ways to deal with such loans in the long term — plans that the housing crash and recession in many cases foiled.
Time examined one Option ARM loan, a 40-year loan written in 2007 in the amount of $465,000. The initial monthly payment was $1,260, but jumped [due to a cap on the amount of negative amortization that was allowed] to $1,354. It reset two years later with the monthly payment more than doubling to $2,806. No wonder the homeowner walked! According to Diane Westerback, the managing director for Standard and Poor’s, “Some of the damage has already been done, but the loss projections [into the future] are increasing.”
I’m getting lost …

Freddie Mac Loses $7.8B In 4Q
A Deluge of Homeowners Underwater
In all, more than 11.3 million, or 24 percent, of all residential properties with mortgages, were underwater at the end of the fourth quarter of 2009, up from 10.7 million or 23 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2009.
An additional 2.3 million mortgages were approaching negative equity at the end of last year, meaning they had less than five percent equity. Thus even though the Case Schiller indexes have been showing a slight rise in housing prices during the fourth quarter, an additional 600,000 homeowners slipped below the waves during the quarter.
This is a true statement from Harry Reid, The Senate Majority Leader of the US Senate. Add another reason to pass new Stimulus bill – if you don’t, ladies get beaten up!

Lets say you want to borrow one million for a mortgage. You have to move one million in investment grade bonds/stocks/cds/t-bills etc into bank. Good stuff in a trust agreeemnt. If value of portfolio fell you had to pony up more cash. In return bank got a risk free loan that was 100% collateralized by cash and still had a back up as a lien on house. You were also prohibited from doing home equity loans. What client got was amazing rate and very little cost to get mortgage. We should bring back that type of mortgage.

Feb. 24 (Bloomberg) — Greek police fired tear-gas and clashed with demonstrators in central Athens after a march organized by unions to oppose Prime Minister George Papandreou’s drive to cut the European Union’s biggest budget deficit.
Hooded youths threw rocks, marble and other objects at riot police after the march today to the country’s Parliament building. At least one person was detained.
“People on the street will send a strong message to the government but mainly to the European Union, the markets and our partners in Europe that people and their needs must be above the demands of markets,” Yiannis Panagopoulos, president of the private-sector union GSEE, told NET TV yesterday. “We didn’t create the crisis.”

Clot,
I think you should go back to your normal screen name. I’ve covered global stocks and economies for 20 years now, and while you’re right that the situation in the US is dire, and worse than most people realize, I’ve seen worse economic situations in other parts of the world, and they get over it eventually. You’re prepared, presumably, and most other people aren’t. You do your thing, and other people do theirs. Speak up for what’s right and the right course to take, and then don’t let other people’s misery bother you too much.
The world won’t come to an end, so just deal with it the best you can, ok?
You often have some good ideas, but sometimes you just go so far overboard and say such outrageous things that it’s all people notice about you.
I know you worry about riots and roving armed gangs, but in the US, most of the raping and plundering has been and will likely continue to be done via the political process.

Because some people, like me, have bonds yielding 8%, but a 100% collateralized loan can be had for as low as $4%. Smithbarney also does this. Smithbarney also gets credit for asset under management. So Smith Barney wants the client to keep one million in account asset under management and have citi do one million dollar loan at 4% risk free. Win win. Even a better deal for someone with one million in 5% tax free munits who borrows one million at 4% that is tax deductable. You should not be borrowing money cause you don’t have money.

Nom, this seems to be your area of expertise so i yield to your outlook but note that many bab deals are coming to market with superior pricing to Tax Exampts. The larger buyer base potential would create a market with multiples of liquidity over what it is now.

I’m going on the record in backing some of Clots predictions.
I think Europe is headed for a summer of strikes, way before the US -already starting with Greece, Lufthansa, British steel workers. They still have unions over there, to a much bigger degree than in the US and take them more seriously.
The cultures are also based on “what’s fair” so there is already an impetus. US is based on “American Dream”(TM) which actually keeps people more placid, always looking for their shot. Unions are also less entrenched here within workers.
Clot is spot on that the first union strike risk here really will be the public ones.

As well they should be. For instance natural born Germans have a low birth rate. Muslims are invading countries having tons of kids and with welfar and free medical for all it is driving up the taxes for everyone. Since they won’t assimilate they drive the catholic churches and german traditional restaurants and stores of out business. On top of that uselss non-tax paying mosques open up and tear down tax paying businesses that employed Germans. The insult to injury is their countries would never allow this and would execute a German who tried to set up shop in their Muslim extremest countries. They need to close there borders to these people ASAP.

Its going to happen, but not until after bloodshed has already occurred.
Sweden is having so real issues with its large Muslim population as well.
The Fed computer models of collapse have led federal agents at the Federal Center in Denver to stockpiling pallets of gold bullion, gold coins, and bales of heroine to interact with gangs; so that between 4 and 12 days after a state of national civil emergency, like nuclear war, they could trade with the gangs that would control every city.
Heres the model results for a 10 kiloton strike in LA.
The violence will be… Just take a city, like, let’s say you had a city like Los Angeles and you took out 20 blocks with a 10-kiloton nuclear weapon, with a population kill of let’s say 200,000. And California devolved into a state where there’s no trucks going anywhere with any food. And this is a place where it’s a breadbasket.
This state would be a seething caldron of death, and half the population would probably be dead within 30 days. Just because of the roving gangs shooting each other up, and trying to grab food that was left and getting trucks and whatever.

The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that new home sales dropped 11.2 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual sales pace of 309,000 units, the lowest level on records going back nearly a half century.

This should not be a surprise to anyone who studies the gold market or the history of the gold market. The idea of paper receipts for gold has be mired in corruption for hundreds of years.

My wife’s 19 yr old neice just moved in with us. Trying to get her affairs in order. The amount of text messaging she does is insane. I asked how many per month and she said about 3,000! I looked it up and apparently this is normal for a teen. No wonder she flunked out freshman year of college. The other half of her day is on facebook.
256.
is it really any different than grown ups Fing around all day on the internet while at their job? We are all overpaid.
Got physical?
Final,
I’m swiming in it. As a matter of fact its all I got besides USD debt.
[256];
Look on the bright side, she flunked out after ony one year. She could be in the same barely employable position, four times deeper in non-dischargeable student debt, and pursuing a masters in “African-American Studies”, and doomed to work in the used house sales indusrty (see link @[157]), the travel agents of our day, such that it is and so long as it lasts.
since getting on FB and getting back in touch with people from childhood and HS I’m aghast at the level of retarded emoting and attention whoring. When the 40 somethings are posting bikini photos and taking sex surveys, can you really scoff at the teens and the text msging?
Has nothing to do with being overpaid. The kid can’t focus on anything actually around her in real life. The phone is constantly vibrating while she stares at the computer screen and taps out messages. I’m not even annoyed by it, but it is amazing to see how much different she operates compared to when I was a teen. Or even my sis who’s in her mid twenties.
I think if you are failing out of college then maybe you should scale back the texting. I could not do my job if I sent 3,000 text a day.

I have seen little of that from my h.s. friends and acquaintances on FB. Mostly because they were, and are, pretty level-headed and beyond the hey, what are you up to, its just about their kids, travels, and jobs.

Whoops. Shoulda done some research before I came up with that name:

Boring would restore my faith. I’m seeing some of what you describe amongst my closet family and friends from HS, the rest look like reality TV train wrecks. My blood runs cold, my memories have just been sold. I should have stayed off of FB.

Her parents already cut her off and I’m no sucker. Rent’s free. But she’s paying her share of the groceries ($50/wk) and utilities ($95/mo). I loaned her the money for the 1st two classes at O.C.C. but she’s got 2k coming in a tax refund in a few weeks, so I’ll get that back.

re: #276 – prtraders2000 -Teen B.S. at 19 isn’t quite the same thing as Teen B.S. at 14. Most of her H.S. friends have hopefully moved onto college or a job by now an aren’t just texting and on facebook all day. This kid still needs parenting to help her grow up. I have seen plenty of late 20 somethings still crashing with mom and dad with the do nothing jobs wasting time or wasting themselves day in and day out. What makes you think she will do better in school this time? 6 credits of classroom time leaves plenty of room for a job. How about an internship at a hospital or something to toughen her up and her grow up allot.

re #275 – more BS from Toyota.
I was in one the other day and as a goof I pushed the stop/start button while driving much to the chagrin of the driver a co-worker of mine. The engine did not shut off on he first try. On the second try I held down the button for several seconds and it did shut off that time while driving. Who is the bonehead who designed this? Where does it say on the dashboard or on the button itself to hold the button down for several seconds in an emergency to kill the engine?

Hundreds of guys depended on Paulie and he got a piece of everything they made. And it was tribute, just like in the old country, except they were doing it here in America. And all they got from Paulie was protection from other guys looking to rip them off. And that’s what it’s all about. That’s what the FBI could never understand. That what Paulie and the organization does is offer protection for people who can’t go to the cops. That’s it. That’s all it is. They’re like the police department for wiseguys.
What the f*ck are you looking at? ;)
You cannot make this sh*t up:
After applying for the FID on Monday, my employer received a letter from the police department regarding my permit.
OH MY GOD: THe partners interrogated me about why I need a gun, told that I do not need a gun, that I was more likely to be injured by that gun than use it against an assailant and the fact I have a young child should mitigate against having a gun.
Then, they informed me that they are against non-police owning guns and will not participate in filling out the questionaire provided by the police.
Thus, I called the police department and explained this to them. The police informed me that this will not kill my application. The police mentioned that some people have strong feelings about guns. They also wished me a good day and will call me when my application gets approved.
Partners=control freaks. or liberals run amouk. Ironic since I am a liberal. The universe is not without Irony.
Needless to say, the associates at the firm are aghast regarding the whole situation.
#289
that is pathetic. maybe they will be a little afraid of you now though.
I do not mind control laws. Hey the mental health background check even seems reasonable. An employer who thinks that they can stop someone from getting a gun by not filling out the form is crazy.
GOOD lord, I hope I do not end up as a poster boy for the NRA (unless I get a discount on Ammo. . .every man has his price)
even “gun control laws”. Damn . . .child was up a great deal last nite: nasty cough. Daddy very tired.

Morph- why would they call your employer? How does applying for a gun permit impact your work at the law firm?

289. Morph,
Looks like the UN has successfully indoctrinated your co workers. Stay the course.
[294] yikes
It is a measure that has many purposes. The gov. will tell you that it is to make sure you are stable, not someone looking to shoot up the workplace.
But the other purpose is to impose pressure on you not to apply. Especially law firms, which tend toward liberal because of the nature of lawyer’s work and their income sources.
They would call Morph’s law firm in a heartbeat. That, BTW, is why I still hold a PA driver’s license. Once I get my shotgun, then I can move out of PA.
289 – regift time next Xmas!
289 morph: well, you got what you voted for: gov intimidation and harassment on constitutional rights, high taxes and nanny state.
I gotta tell ya. I would be pissed. And a few folks would prolly be a little afeared.

I hope you weren’t surprised by that reaction.
Unfortunately, given what you have told me, you are on the list, my friend.

Even my quasi-socialist friend in Philly got a handgun. I had a good time busting his chops over that.
Nom:
I am already on the list: one of the candidates for layoffs.
However, all the other associates and candidates in the litigation department own firearms.
One the partners made a snide comment to one of them “Do you have a gun?” To which the quick witted associate replied “not on me at this time!”
Morpheus,
Do the partners know that the gun will be an uzi?

What I have a problem is with my employer, who is a contol freak, trying to control what I do in my own home.(please no red-state blue state arguments here… .We can all agree that no man likes to be told what to do, unless given a paycheck for doing so)
Hell, the police department staff was a little pissed: the receptionist was aghast and stated that “you have a constitutional right to own a gun. .. your employer can’t deny that to you!”
305 Veto:
the weapon will be 9mm carbine. Probably hi-point firearms…Cheap, lifetime warranty. . .made in USA. People love ’em or hate ’em.

I know that their are better firearms out there, but not at that price point.

Morph, cool gun. Im probably going to finally get my pistol permit. Not a big fan of pistols so procrastinated.
My wife was adamantly opposed to guns in the house. Now she asks when Im going to get a handgun.
Its a good idea to train your significant other as well. Even if you hate guns or have kids at home. Get one, learn how to use it, then put it in the attic.
In the future they may make it prohibitively expensive or painful to get.

No one knows. All we can be sure of is that somewhere along the line, someone isn’t going to get their gold. Btw…I now expect gold to form a bubble before the US Dollar implodes. I’ll be watching it closely over the next 12 months. If Gold moves way up while other hard assets move down, I’ll be trading in all my gold for something more useful. Probably Silver.

Hyde – once took a leggy blond in shorty shorts one summer eveening on a date to the range, the driving range. The place was stacked with Asian Businessmen perfecting their stroke. After about 1/2 hour of her giggling and jumping up and down and shanking balls all over range in her shorty shorts those businessmen looked like the wanted to lop my head off with a sword.
329 Morpheus,
Back in 2003 when I was on a Med School Interview at UMDNJ, they told me how they send a lot of students to work at Camden. She goes “now I know what your thinking, but I’m hearing a lot of people refer to it as the Hoboken of West NJ. A lot of people are moving in and fixing it up”. I heard other random stories of people flipping properties in Camden. Whenever someone buys something in Camden, that should signal a market top.
Kramer Hill is the only decent hood in Camden and that was years ago, no idea if its still good.
I don’t think you need to be a d*ck to be a good lawyer, you just have to have a high tolerance for d*cks. And the ability to work without sleep for absurdly long stretches.

An added benefit is the ability for the electronic smoker to smoke in virtually any place or any environment. Pubs, Clubs, restaurants, theaters and airplanes, places which have banned cigarette smoke for decades are legal for electronic smokers since the e-cigarette produces no illegal by-products, and therefore no secondhand smoke.
While Electronic cigarettes look, feel and taste much like traditional cigarettes, they function differently. You see, electronic cigarettes do not actually burn any tobacco, but , when you inhale from an e-cigarette, you activate a “flow censor” which releases a water vapor containing nicotine, propylene glycol, and a scent that simulates the flavor of tobacco. All of which basically means that electronic cigarettes let you get your nicotine fix while avoiding all of the cancer causing agents found in traditional cigarettes such as tar, glue, hundreds of additives, and hydrocarbons.
You get all of the feeling of smoking, even the “smoke,” without any of the harmful side-effects and chemicals that are in regular tobacco smoke. Not only that, but you can use the e-cigarette anywhere!! It emits only water vapor, not smoke, as you puff on it, so you can use it in all the otherwise forbidden zones: public places, family gatherings, even restaurants and stores.

It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

The engineers in Stuttgart are hard at work prepping the next-generation SLK roadster, which should launch next year as a 2012 model.
