There was some reason to take comfort about yesterday’s data from the Case-Shiller Index—the rate of price declines slowed for the third straight month nationally. But before you break out the champagne and check books, get a dose of what the Wall Street Journal had to say yesterday:

The bloodletting may not be over. Here’s why: If price declines accelerate for the mid-to-upper end of the housing market, then that could generate enough large declines in values—even among a small segment of the overall housing market—to push the index lower still.

Meanwhile, here in New York (where there’s plenty of “mid-to-upper” properties) housing prices ticked down another 1.6 percent in April for a total of 21 percent off the June 2008 high, as the chart above shows.

  1. This how you kick someone’s ass! Hardcore PWNING Ghetto Style!

    Whuh: “You’ve never met a real hedge fund manager; and you’ve never even been in the office of a real fund. And by real, I mean, in operation for more than five/six years, assets under management of more than a billion.”

    GHetto Day Trader: “Our L/S fund here has a record going back to 1993. No, we don’t have more than a billion but we also only have 4 people here.”

    “We have 4 people here”????????!!!! This Hedge Fund is operating out of Starbucks!!! Oh Whuh I want to thank you so much for exposing this Jackass! This has made my day, Thanks!

  2. Keep working on trying to get that house, Whuh.

    Our L/S fund here has a record going back to 1993. No, we don’t have more than a billion but we also only have 4 people here.

  3. Sure, Dave –I know I don’t have the right to comment on your endless posturing and bragging on here; esp because I don’t manage money for a career. But one last sad try on my part: You’ve never met a real hedge fund manager; and you’ve never even been in the office of a real fund. And by real, I mean, in operation for more than five/six years, assets under management of more than a billion. I’d bet my future house, to which you are not and will never be invited, on it.

  4. I never could have imagined that a thread on Case Schiller could turn out to be so amusing for me today!!!! And I haven’t seen the usual suspect lunatic fringe here except What (who just lurks) and his half sister, Whuh.

    Someday this Poseur is gonna end..

  6. “There are surely many visitors who know something about money, and I can safely speak for them, and say, they smell you from a mile away, for the mid market poseur you are.”

    OMFG Day Trader In Bed Stuy just got PWNED! LMMFAO Oh man!!!

    The What (I’m not worthy Whuh, I’m not worthy)
