From Bloomberg:
Previously Owned U.S. Home Sales Rise to Eight-Month High
Sales of previously owned U.S. homes climbed in June to an eight-month high as more listings helped prices cool, luring buyers into the market.
Sales increased 2.6 percent to a 5.04 million annual rate last month, led by gains in all four U.S. regions, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 78 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected sales would rise to a 4.99 million rate. Prices advanced at the slowest pace since March 2012 and inventories rose to an almost two-year high.
Historically low interest rates and smaller price increases are helping bring homeownership within reach for more Americans. A pickup in employment opportunities that lead to faster wage growth would provide an added spark for a residential real-estate market that began to soften in the middle of 2013.
“We’re recovering from the winter doldrums, more people are working and interest rates are attractive,” said Brian Jones, senior U.S. economist at Societe Generale in New York, who projected a 5.05 million pace of sales for June.
Estimates in the Bloomberg survey of economists ranged from a sales pace of 4.8 million to 5.11 million after May’s previously reported 4.89 million.
…
The existing home-sales advance was led by a 6.2 percent gain in the Midwest, followed by a 3.2 percent increase in the Northeast. Purchases rose 2.7 percent in the West and 0.5 percent in the South.Purchases of single-family homes increased 2.5 percent to an annual rate of 4.43 million, the report showed. The sales pace of multifamily properties including condominiums climbed 3.4 percent to 610,000 in June, also the highest since October.
Cash transactions accounted for about 32 percent of all purchases in June, according to the report. Investors made up 16 percent of purchases.
Sales of distressed property, including foreclosures, accounted for 11 percent of the total last month, matching the lowest share since October 2008.

A lot of sturm und drang for something that won’t amount to very much. NJ has an extremely expansive marital privilege but most crim cases could be made without relying on the communication of one spouse to incriminate another. Further, in most jurisdictions, the privilege is a defense against compelled testimony. Nothing of the sort here but NJ grants marital communications more deference than other jurisdictions.
Moose, that sound right to you?
Finally, before I head out, a primer on why you cannot believe numbers coming out of the Beltway . . .
http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/paygo-begone_794411.html?google_editors_picks=true
This has current relevance, I promise.
14 – The opinion was written by Stuart Rabner, who was recently nominated for tenure by Chris Christie. God help us we’re stuck with him…. The fact that a judge who would voice his dislike for a civil right publicly, and convince the other justices to vote in favor of it is disturbing to me. For crying out loud Rabner is chief justice…..
Heck, if communication between a husband and wife shouldn’t be privileged, then why should a lawyer/client communication be privileged? Why even have civil rights? So bothersome….

Nom if you saw their new drool worthy ARX100 that would be banned in the state you would leave to

[16] toxic
Rabner was installed by Corzine and it is custom to renominate a judge unless the judge is controversial or the decision politically motivated. Recall that Christie was excoriated for refusing to nominate an overtly partisan judge.
I’ve met Rabner and while that means nothing judicially, I don’t see him to be out of line with NJ politics or jurisprudence.
Finally, I disagree that the marital privilege is a “civil right”. There is no civil right I am aware of not to have one’s one words used against them in court. The issue has been whether to permit an exception to admissible statements, that can be used to convict a person, to then convict their spouse as a participant in a criminal enterprise. They can be used presently to convict a significant other or mere acquaintance. The spousal issue came about because of the peculiar nature of NJ’s spousal privilege, an aspect of privilege that has no collorary in federal jurisprudence.
Besides, as I said, this is unlikely to come up very much. Wiretapped communications can still be used to procure other evidence, and that evidence isn’t tainted because it was discovered as a result of a spousal communication. Further, the privilege can be waived and in crim cases, I suspect it is waived often if a spouse is looking at time.
As for Christie, are you surprised that a former prosecutor would not support a pro-prosecution opinion?
Forgive me, I’m not a lawyer, so I will defer to your expertise Nom.
First, What is “communications privilege”?
Second, isn’t Rabner saying he does not want it to apply to married couples anymore? Wouldn’t this gut communications privilege?

Communication privilege means that the private discussions btwn spouses can’t be introduced into evidence. This prevents the gov from doing an end-around on the privilege against compelled testimony. But as the longer piece I posted suggests, that has been construed narrowly and held in many places not to apply if the communication is in furtherance of a criminal activity.
These don’t prevent good investigators from getting around the privilege. Statements can still be used in court against the speaker. They can still be used to elicit or discover other evidence. And if the content of the speech gives notice that others knew of the subject, they can be compelled to testify or be charged. Case in point: If on the tape, H tells W that “Shorty will get the drugs and drop them off at the house when you are home”, it matters little that H’s words cannot be introduced into evidence against W. But they can be used to get a warrant to search W’s house (I think, not a crim lawyer), they can be used to impeach or charge Shorty, and they can be used against H. Further, if they get H talking to Shorty on tape, that can come in versus W.
[25] toxic,
The real distinction gets down to whether or not this is a civil right and I conclude that it isn’t because it isn’t constitutionally protected but exists only by legislative grace. And what grace the legislature can convey, it can take away. Further, as a general principle, any “right, privilege, deduction, etc.” that government grants over and above a constitutionally mandated minimum, it can construe narrowly.
I’ve given some broad outlines. And while I can go into a great deal more, that requires time I just don’t have at the moment. The internet affords much more access to legal data than it used to so you can also find out more just as quickly as I can.
Too funny not to come back and share.

Anon…I don’t know why I bother, but I owned Apple (a lot of it) from 2005 through earlier this year. Once they stopped creating new products (death of Jobs) and became a tool of Wall Street (splits and dividends), I bailed. Maybe I was a little early as I got out mostly in the 500s, though sold a bit in the 700s. But you can’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Nor will you be able to nail a bottom or top.
I am not surprised you tout the likes of Apple. They pay almost no taxes, exploit cheap labor and lately have been way more fashion over function. Progressives love to overpay for stuff they “think” is better. Apple’s margin is a testament to progressive stupidity.

I was figuring that cononco is slightly undervalued and has a little room to go. I might just take your advice. Buying when everything is at an all time high is scary stuff, and an index fund is prob the safest bet during these times and in general it’s a way better long term move. Less stress and a lot less research. I’m young, have at the minimum 30 years on my side to hold.

Criminal probe of Cuomo administration urged
July 23, 2014 – 12:04 PM
Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Political foes of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo are calling for prompt criminal investigation of his administration following a news report that his office thwarted attempts by his own special corruption commission to investigate groups with ties to him.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Secretary Larry Schwartz pressured commissioners to stop subpoenas to a media-buying firm Cuomo used and to the Real Estate Board of New York, whose members financially supported the governor’s campaign.
State Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox and gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino say that’s criminal obstruction of justice.
Cuomo’s office tells the newspaper that it would be “a pure conflict of interest” for a commission appointed by the governor to investigate the governor.
Spokesmen did not immediately reply to requests for comment Wednesday.

I’m not the guy to ask. I tell folks that if I wanted to spend my career surrounded by criminals it would have been a hell of a lot easier to just become one.
Not having read the link, there’s two parts to the privilege, there’s two sides to the privilege: There’s the immunity from being compelled to testify against one’s spouse; and the spouse’s privilege to not have their ‘pillow talk’ admitted in court.
Considering there are already well-established crime & fraud expections to the attorney-client priviliege, doesn’t seem to me to be a real stretch to extend that to invade the spousal priviliege.
Funny thing is, I recall a decade ago joking that if (who knew) same-sex marraige became legal the first couples lining up at the courthouse would be organized crime types looking to capture spousal immunity.
