Citigroup Board Said to Weigh Options as Stock Drops (Update2)
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=arsOx8GtZ7Uo&refer=home
Citigroup, once the biggest U.S. bank, with a stock market value of $274 billion at the end of 2006, dropped yesterday to about $26 billion, slipping to No. 5 after Minneapolis-based U.S. Bancorp. A plan Pandit announced this week to cut costs by shedding 52,000 jobs and an endorsement by billionaire Saudi investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal didn’t assuage shareholders’ concern that bad loans and securities writedowns may extend a yearlong run of net losses totaling $20 billion.
Citigroup, once the biggest U.S. bank, with a stock market value of $274 billion at the end of 2006??? And all that "Market Cap" got wiped out in 2 years???!!

Crude Oil Tumbles to Lowest Since May 2005 as Consumption Drops
"Oil has dropped nearly $100 from its July record, as the world economic crisis reduced global demand growth to its weakest in 23 years. Crude oil is poised to drop 15 percent this week, the worst performance since the week ended Oct. 10. Its slide will add to concern that the U.S. economy faces deflation, threatening investment in oil and gas production projects."
Recap Asshats: Oil is a Asset like Housing and I'm willing to bet that you have gone down by 20% in the value of your home this week.

Treasury Yields Drop to Record Lows as Recession Concern Rises

U.S. Housing Starts, Permits Drop to Record Low Pace
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ayFpFXHa5bvU&refer=home
Builders mired in a three-year housing slump are finding it hard to attract buyers as property values drop and banks tighten lending standards. Declines in construction spending remain a drag on economic growth, increasing chances of a prolonged recession.
``The problems in housing were exacerbated by the credit problems we had in September and October,'' said Russell Price, a senior economist at Ameriprise Financial Inc. in Detroit, who forecast housing starts would drop to a 790,000 annual pace. ``Housing will be slow to rebound from that period.''

Read This:Illegal Shelter in a private apt building - help
ROTMFFLMMFAO!!!!!!!
http://newyork.craigslist.org/forums/?forumID=6&all=N
Hi There
I moved into my current apt building at the end of May this year and there have been on and off problems occuring in the building. The most serious one was the couple of fires that were set on purpose over the summer - one in a vacant apt right next door to me.
All summer long there had been renovations of vacant apts in my building while tenants who had lived in the building had been complaining of needing repairs for years. I just thought well ok, they must be renovating because they were going to rent the vacant apts to some new working tenants as the broker who I signed the lease with told me was the management's plan.
Well close to 4 weeks ago, there had been a frenzy to fix these apts up (there had been a slow down over the summer), then bunkbeds, kitchen sets and other furniture were being set up in these vacant apts and a security guard (which we never had) magically appeared in my lobby with a sign-in sheet. When I asked what was going on my neighbors told me that they were now going to use the vacant apts for shelter people. When I heard this my mouth dropped. Management never informed us and the super had to know what was happening because he was also putting together furniture but kept us in the dark.
We know nothing about these people and I am infuriated this is happening. I have nothing against people who need assistance from the shelter system, but this is more than what I had bargained for. MY family and I survived nearly being burned out of our new apt, but I am not paying rent to be housed with people in the shelter. I am surrounded above and on both sides of my apt by these people and some of them are noisy and inconsiderate. I had learned also that the management company had some financial problems and We figure that bringing in shelter people and the money the city pays by the day is more lucrative from a financial standpoint rather than us hard working people.
Some tenants in my building are concerned and we are trying to figure out the best course of action i.e. media and contacting our elected officials.
Has this happened to your building? What would you do in my situation? I have children to worry about and I have another 6 months on my lease. Is this even legal?
Thanks

U.S. Economy Contracted 1%, Less Than Anticipated (Update2)
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a05Ac9cgwuv0
I love the "Less than anticipated" and "unexpected" buzzwords! More lies and obfuscation!
The U.S. economy contracted less than anticipated in the second quarter as a jump in government spending and smaller cutbacks by consumers helped mitigate a record plunge in inventories.
But.. But.. But.. Dave said "Inventories would increase".
"Companies from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to Macy’s Inc. cut costs and stockpiles to bolster earnings as job losses caused consumers to curb spending. Leaner stocks and government programs to revive demand, including the “cash for clunkers” and first-time homebuyer incentives, are boosting manufacturing and housing, putting the economy on a path to recovery."
Government spending is plugging the gapping hole in the Mutant Asset Bubble! When the Bond market goes Tango Uniform it's nighty nite.

Lacker in January had dissented against the central bank’s commitment to keep buying agency debt and mortgage securities.
Walking away from the Blast Area! This fall is going to be spectacular!
Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy, fell at a 1 percent pace, less than anticipated, following a 0.6 percent increase in the prior quarter. The decrease subtracted 0.7 percentage point from GDP. Purchases were forecast to drop 1.3 percent, according to the survey median.
Consumer spending is dead! No credit, no sales (Like Al Sharpton)!

Consumer strain: Pens and notebooks put on layaway
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Consumer-strain-Pens-and-apf-1974175437.html?x=0
NEW YORK (AP) -- To gauge consumers' strain, look no further than the rows and rows of plastic bags awaiting layaway payments at Kmart. They are filled with back-to-school basics -- not just T-shirts and jeans but notebooks, magic markers and pencils.
ROTFLMMFAO!!!!!
Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corp. said its layaway business is stronger than a year ago. And e-Layaway.com, which offers online layaway services for about 1,000 merchants, has seen its business double from the same time last year. Customers are setting aside even $25 calculators and $30 backpacks.
The Credit Cards are Dead! Layaway is the way to go!
"It just tells you that consumers have no money -- even that $30 backpack is something they can't afford," said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research group.

Here Jackasses suck on this! Here's someone else PWNING Dave read it!
well I would imagine that any normal bank will look at the debt you have, at the value of the apt you "own" and then decide if you can borrow. If you owe 850kon a 500k apt you owe a lot of money you don't have. Why would any bank lend to you, and who would refi that mortgage. No sane bank would. Your FICOmay be fine, but you ability to borrow is still massively impaired. Oh and BTW when your existing guy realises that you are trapped in the mortgage you have wait to see the crap treatment you get from servicers etc, because they know you can't re-fi away from them.
If you default, you get put in the penalty box for 7 years and then all's fine, as far as I understand it. So default, rent and save for 7 years and then you can borrow again or carry on paying a multiple of what your property is worth for 30 years and hope prices come back. Seems like an easy decision to me.

Hi Jackasses! Before I sing off for the weekend I hope you get in some splinter tighting exersises. The I-Beams are on the way! Here's an example...
August 20, 2009
Contesting an Appraisal?
We are trying refinance our Bed Stuy brownstone and our appraisal came back with an absurdly low number (37% less than 2006 purchase price). Property values in our section of Bed Stuy have held up well with recent sales on our block 7% less than our 2006 purchase price. Our neighbor across the street has their house appraised 3 months ago and it came in a 6% below our 2006 purchase price. Not bad considering the economic situation. We have given the broker/bank a list of recent comparable property sales to support a higher value, but have not heard back. Has anyone been in a similar situation and had the bank make the loan eventually? We are trying to decide whether we should give up with this application and reapply with another broker or keep waiting. It seems getting an accurate appraisal is a game of chance. Thank you for sharing any of your experience.

"What - to say that never in the history of this city has a whole neighborhood had to confront the issue of gentrification (which I'm assuming is what you're trying to say correcting for your typos and horrible grammar),"
Then you fix it.
"ust shows that you posses a very minimal knowledge of the history of the development of this City."
Born, raised and will die here. 46 years strong.
"When you talk about the history of this City - you claim to be an expert on everything that happened from the 70's on through today."
Experience...
"But you're ignoring more than 100 years of the development of this City that predates that era."
So I'm going to use metrics from 1934 or 1913 or 1954????
"When it comes to the issue of neighborhood development and gentrification, as the good book says, there ain't nothing new under the sun."
Oh yes there is! When Bloomturd proclaims he's the "New Robert Mosses" I know there's something wrong with that.
Now you can correct my typos...

"Good one for the What - "Reverse" discrimination at its best."
I'll bite! This is about retarded Condo development, not a Race/Class issue!
Never in the history of this city were whole neighborhood is/has come under attack from the moneyed interest (Gentrification). Whole neighborhoods are rip asunder at the expense of long time New Yorkers. What's going to happen when all of the developments blow up??!! empty decaying abandoned Condos bringing Urban Blight everywhere. We have enough New Construction to last us for the next 35 years! This is the issue here, not class/race.

Alternative energy sources are, I think,
and there is that direction which will deduce the world from crisis.
The epoch of oil and gas monopolies will end.

this is the sort of thing you should seek some political help from. Contact your congress(wo)man's constituent affairs office and point out that it's a common issue for people in brownstone brooklyn.

walnut oil works too and will give it a bit of a richer finish.
Posted by: randolph at November 9, 2009 4:47 PM in response to Butcher Block Treatment
Do you want to cut directly on the counters? If not, try Waterlox. If so, I would think mineral oil would be the easiest and most economical treatment. We have butcher block but don't cut directly on it (I actually like the way it looks more than I need the convenience of the surface)

Definitely don't apologize about butcher block! I like it.
Posted by: bkrules at November 9, 2009 6:37 PM in response to Butcher Block Treatment
Check www.butcherblockco.com and a few of the other suppliers. There are butcher block counters made in many different woods and the walnut & cherry are especially beautiful.
