"There will always be a demand for real estate in Manhattan and prime Brooklyn..."
There will be a demand for buyers that can't get a mortgage Dumbass!
"Just becasue you live in an outskirt shady neighborhood dont say all of Brooklyn is going down..."
That's funny, the Asshats are paying 1700.00 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment.
I hope you are around this Fall (get it, FALL)
BTW Read this Asshat, this is VERY SERIOUS! If the US hits Iran the OIL shock will be very devastating.
We are living is some "Strange Days" but the Asshats are just hyping this shit away!
Crude Oil Rises on Concern Israel Attack Will Cut Iran Supply
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a_BMBa4RaN_0&refer=home
July 1 (Bloomberg) -- Oil rose, extending this year's 48 percent gain, after ABC News reported Israel is increasingly likely to attack Iran this year, starting a conflict that would threaten supplies from the Middle East.
BTW You are ether a Owner who house value is falling or Asshat is trying to justify your dumbassed decision or a wannabe Asshat trying to get into the market. Don't believe The What, go out and buy something!
The What (The Fall)
Someday this war is gonna end...

Actually I just bought...And not worried about the value in the short term. I feel the demand for a 1bd in a prime brooklyn location will hold its value over time...
HEY WHAT - Real estate is not like buying a stock you dumb ass where you try and sell in 4 months and hope its up 15%...Real Estate is more like a mutual fund you buy and over time with dividends and capital gains you will do fine.
You are looking so short-term that its pretty pathetic...
"Crude Oil Rises on Concern Israel Attack Will Cut Iran Supply"
OMG so we should not live our lives because of things we cant control. I bet you called 9/11 as well...These factors are out of our control and people need to live there lives and go on...Life is too short to worry about the Middle East and so on...In that case get out of your $500 lease and move to Alabama...
We cant control oil prices and dumb ass people move to the city so they dont have to use a car...
I am done with you..Not even worth it...

If the 'war is gonna end...' you really should be buying real estate because the oil situation will improve!
hahaha!
The What, you really are an idiot. First you complain that Oil will get worse because of War and your signiture is 'Someday this war is gonna end...'
You state that because of the war, Oil will rise, causing interest rates to rise, causing housing values to fall.
But if Someday the war is going to end, you should buy Real Estate because Oil prices will drop, causing inflation to decrease, causing long term rates to become lower, causing House Values to rise.
Oh well... I think I know who the real Asshat is.

Hey Dumbass re-read this paragraph!
"BTW You are ether a Owner who house value is falling or Asshat is trying to justify your dumbassed decision or a wannabe Asshat trying to get into the market. Don't believe The What, go out and buy something!"
You are trying to justify baby.. I know it's very hard to admit you made a mistake but the real problem is finding the common sense to come to terms with it.
"You state that because of the war, Oil will rise, causing interest rates to rise, causing housing values to fall."
No Asshat I didn't state anything. Your interpretation is very flawed/warped. This story will have a devastating effect on our economy, especially on the Fall/Winter heating season. People will not pay their Mortgage if they are freezing to death. This will put more pressure on Banks to loan money to Asshats! No banks loaning money, house values FALL. Yes this effects you if you own something now!!!!!!!!!

Someday this war is gonna end...

HAHA so THE WHAT -
ACCORDING to THE WHAT we should not do anything if there is a good deal dont take it dont do anything just sit in your apt and look out the window and wait... SO CLUELESS...
BOTTOM LINE if there is a good buy take it becasue if you dont someone else will...

THE WHAT: You never provide a solution. What would you recommend we do? rent? buy? roll into the fetal possition in some street corner?

"THE WHAT: You never provide a solution. What would you recommend we do? rent? buy? roll into the fetal possition in some street corner?"
1. Put your money into short term treasuries.
http://www.treasurydirect.gov/
Purchase securities directly from the U.S. Treasury.
Set up and manage an account.
Get information about your Treasury securities and find out if they're still earning interest.
Learn how to purchase Treasury securities.
The US has never defaulted to their debt. I know there is a first time for everything but if the US did that, we would have bigger problems.
2. Clean up your credit report. Over 80% of Credit Reorts have errors on them. This could mean the difference of getting a mortgage in the future.
3. Don''t beLIEve the hype of "Bubble news sites" (like this one) do your own research.
Own some physical money like Gold or silver. Yep dumbasses, REAL MONEY!!!!
4. Just wait! You don''t have to be with the "Metoo" crowd. You will get a place thats affordable.

The What owns. He is owning all of you fools who think NYC is immune. Right before 1929, it was different. Right before 1987, it was different. Right before 2000, it was different. Right now, in Brooklyn, it is somehow different. Remember - there is only one economic pie to take slices from. You all act as if Brooklyn has it's own pie. (Has everyone at least took even a cynical look at the history of asset bubbles?)
The What - How much longer do you think the PPT can fool asshats from selling out of the DOW? Why does The Great Depression keep getting compared to today's economy (worst June for DOW since, first negative national savings rate since, etc.)?
Circa 1929:
"With the bankers' financial resources behind him, Whitney placed a bid to purchase a large block of shares in U.S. Steel at a price well above the current market. As amazed traders watched, Whitney then placed similar bids on other "blue chip" stocks. This tactic was similar to a tactic that ended the Panic of 1907, and succeeded in halting the slide that day. In this case, however, the respite was only temporary."
"William C. Durant joined with members of the Rockefeller family and other financial giants to buy large quantities of stocks in order to demonstrate to the public their confidence in the market, but their efforts failed to stop the slide."

Re: NYC Job Growth Bests Nation's [NY Post]
Buried at the end of the article...
"But that still amounted to an annual growth of only 1 percent, the weakest since December, 2004."

the what - you are very highly regarded by myself. i have been thinking about investing in short term treasuries to protect myself against bank failure. thanks for link. people will one day realize your common sense views are good advice on how to protect themselves in the coming financial storm.

The Plunge Protection Team, LMMFAO! Those guys are the ones whoi CRASHES the market and buy assets pennies on the dollar! Don't EVER mess with the Big Boys, they will kill you time after time.
"Why does The Great Depression keep getting compared to today's economy (worst June for DOW since, first negative national savings rate since, etc.)?""
Ding Ding Ding Ding!!!! Yes Yes Yes!!! Now you get it! This part of my rants. The fall is going to be a bloodbath,, very very very bad...
Circa 1929:
One note folks, history does not tell the story of the start of the Great Depression. Most of the BIG BOY's like Rockefeller was SHORT THAT DAY!!! THEY MADE A FUCKING KILLING!!! Why you ask? On Oct 29 the bankers started to make Margin Calls on every thing! Those loans had to be paid back ASAP! This bought the market down. I think the same thing is being set up right now.
Here take a look at this and get back to me..
