  1. “oh sure, let those in the industry make the rules themselves…fox protecting the henhouse is the philosophy.”

    Pete, don’t you think that the people making the rules need to understand what they’re regulating? It’s like a friend of mine who works at the Dept of Ed and has never taught a day in her life.

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Home price gains earlier this year flattened out in October, according to a report issued Tuesday.

  3. “Hahhahaha! Love it, BHO! nice!”

    Like that, huh!

    “I love it when people get their economic viewpoints off of inane websites.”

    That inane website is also a messenger, DIBS. The 10x rent article was written by NY Times RE in 2003. Quite credible to Team Bull (save Jayson Blair).

    oh sure, let those in the industry make the rules themselves…fox protecting the henhouse is the philosophy.

    I recommend documentary Food, Inc…which is avail to watch on you computer instantly from Netflix. Another industry where the regulators are nothing but industry patsies.

  5. “Japan has already begun to outperform the S&P over the last 30 days and should continue with the weakness of the Yen”

    Thanks dibs. The play appeals to my contrarian side, I picked up a buncha EWJ and a bit of SCJ.

  6. “I saw a chart recently that shows the number of years that President’s top advisers and cabinet officials have spent in the business world and Obama’s numbers are the lowest in many decades.”

    Considering that our last prez was the ‘MBA’ prez, and look what happened, this seems to be a reliable contrarian indicator of good times ahead!
