Re: Market Report, 2007 [New York Mag]
“We turned to some of the brightest minds in real-estate economics—Glaeser, Inman, Roubini, Tim Harford (author of The Undercover Economist), George Mason University’s Tyler Cowen, and Urbandigs.com founder Noah Rosenblatt—to come up with competing best-case and worst-case scenarios from now to 2010…we mashed their guesses together…
WORST CASE
In this scenario, a full-fledged credit crunch rips through the system. The August employment figures, showing no growth for the first time in four years, are the beginning of a serious downward trend. The economy heads for a hard landing, and an all-out recession ensues.
BEST CASE
In this instance, the current liquidity problem is contained by the end of the year. Employment figures pick up in September. Global growth continues.”
THE ‘BEST CASE’ ARGUMENT IS OVERWHELMINGLY UNREALISTIC AND GETS ANNIHILATED BY THAT OF THE ‘WORST CASE’. THAT’S WHY IT’S SYNOPSIS IS SO SHORT AND EASY.
“…dont really have 47 minutes…”
That’s part of the problem. Debt (funded by the Banking System out of absolutely nothing) enslaves you to work eight plus hours a day to pay it off. This leaves you little time to THINK and figure out the whole scam behind it. Please watch the animation tonight and get back to us here.
Sorry guys, tried to check out the google link – dont really have 47 minutes to watch right now. I promise I will try to check it tonight after work and comment then…
The When
Talkin’ ’bout my generation…
THE WHO
Yes “What” you seem to have all of the answers…
I fact, money is corrupt too, I think we should go back to the tried and true system of barter. I will give you 30 laptops and 6 chickens for your Brownstone – Deal?
Wow, a whole 75 coins in your collection – Gold and Silver! Assuming they are all 1 oz gold eagles (Obviously not) that equates to a market value of around $45,000. Of course probably more like $20,000 when you factor in the silver ones plus the bullshit factor.
Just think, if gold doubles and real estate tanks you just might be able to buy that studio in Park Slope on 6th Avenue for $40,000.
Not!
The Where
“Well.. I have found someone to read and respond to my ‘tired and rambling quotes’.”
Oooohhhhhh! The What got you 9:31. What he/she’s saying is not far fetched. Watch this animation. Then come back and comment.

“Your idiotic posts are so irrelevant, I almost look forward to your tired and rambling quotes of the day for a good laugh.”
Well.. I have found someone to read and respond to my ‘tired and rambling quotes’.
“Why are you so bitter? I know, you must have like 3 or 4 gold coins that you managed to scrimp and save for instead of buying some real estate and now you hoping to scare the price of gold up so you can finally feel vindicated…”
No Dumbass, I have more then 75 coins in my collection. Gold and Silver Did you know the US Mint has halted sales on their American Eagles, they want to reprice them. Investors want to protect their assets, Metals will do very well this year.
“Run on the Banks – The sky is falling.”
Get your money now!!!!!!!
“Please! I would love to know your expertise in this area…What do you do for a living, I mean other than researching irrelevant quotes from long dead individuals?”
Well.. I have no debt and use cash for everything, I don’t want to make Wall St. bankers rich. We live in a DEBT society, no one saves money and uses credit like a asshole. The Piper is coming soon folks, he wants his fucking money back.
I’m a Licensed Real Estate Broker. <---Yes that. I have seen o'lot of shit in my career. I wonder what the fuck is going on, I did some research and was shocked! The financial system is corrupt. The What
The What,
Your idiotic posts are so irrelevant, I almost look forward to your tired and rambling quotes of the day for a good laugh.
Why are you so bitter? I know, you must have like 3 or 4 gold coins that you managed to scrimp and save for instead of buying some real estate and now you hoping to scare the price of gold up so you can finally feel vindicated…
