Good to know you don’t want to be a debt slave twhat. Neither do I. That is why I bought a cheap house that I could easily afford. I bought it several years ago, so the turmoil in the markets don’t affect me as much you would like them to.
Now, did you buy your house, or did you inherit it from your grandma? Assuming you are not lying about owning a house/apartment, I’ll say inherit it, since if you took your hard-earned money and put it into real estate and then made an effort to make that investment worth more by making improvements to it or the neighborhood you live in – which is what all smart investors do – you wouldn’t be complaining about the changes around you and you certainly wouldn’t be enjoying the suffering of others, which only brings the value of your investment down.
And yes, twhat, you were part of the real estate business. You might try to make yourself feel better by saying no one you helped is doing poorly, but you did help people buy an asset that you are now saying is loosing value. Why did you do that twhat? Why did you sell people something that was worthless for your own personal gain? How do you live with yourself, twhat?
“What’s wrong Biff Champion you test came back positive?”
No, fortunately I wore a condom with your momma.
“The What (BRING IT ON!)”
DOWhat, I keep “bringing on” your prediction of doom for Octber 16, 2008, yet you don’t respond other than with your typical homophobic banter. I’m bringing it on again. Care to respond by confirming your prediction or admitting we might have a chance of surviving past October 16?
“How does it feel to still not able to afford anything, even in this market? What does it feel like to watch as your neighborhood – Clinton Hill – slowly changes around you and you are no longer the king of crack hill? Hmmm. Feeling left out? You should.”
You better hope I can afford something Asshole (I have money)! If I can buy some your “investment” is in trouble. You see you reasoning is faulty, Asshat.
“You had the chance to buy a nice house and make a difference, but you didn’t. Now your world is changing around you and you have no control over it. Can’t wait till you leave.”
I already have one. I don’t what to be a debt slave.
“As for that bubble, you were part of that bubble by helping people buy into a dream they couldn’t afford. How does it make you feel that you screwed people nad now you joke about their downfall?”
Nope homeboy none of my buyers defaulted, in fact soome of them made money.
“2, 5, 10 & 30 year treasury Rates are down today.
What was it you were saying yesterday What when I called you on the rates and you never responded??”
Here ya go Dave! There is one thing you forgot to mention Asshat. The Mortgage programs that was in play at the start of the year is now GONE! Rate could be at fucking zreo and if the banks are not offering your product then you are fucked.
What’s wrong Biff Champion you test came back positive?
The What (BRING IT ON!)
Someday this war is gonna end…
Dave, you know DOWhat never responds when he’s beaten. Please just leave him alone for a moment while he searches for more articles to cut and paste for his show and tell session. Shortly thereafter, he’ll have milk and cookies and take his nap, like all good little asshats do.
2, 5, 10 & 30 year treasury Rates are down today.
What was it you were saying yesterday What when I called you on the rates and you never responded??
11233, Freud would have a field day with DOWhat’s obsessions. Anyway, apparently we are losing the war, so I shouldn’t take this so lightly. I’ll wait for the DOW side of the brain to surface and support The What side from our attacks.
Hey t’What: My house is doing well. Making improvements and watching as the neighborhood changes and grows.
How does it feel to still not able to afford anything, even in this market? What does it feel like to watch as your neighborhood – Clinton Hill – slowly changes around you and you are no longer the king of crack hill? Hmmm. Feeling left out? You should.
You had the chance to buy a nice house and make a difference, but you didn’t. Now your world is changing around you and you have no control over it. Can’t wait till you leave.

Now, go get DOW to answer any future questions.
DOWhat, will you please answer why your official countdown has stopped? I didn’t think so. For such an intellectual, forward thinker, it’s odd that you can’t understand that, just because you’re in deep financial doo doo, many of us here will make out just fine.
U.S. Economy: Pending Home Resales Decline More Than Forecast
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aZFgAxUK63y8&refer=home
“The index of pending home resales fell 3.2 percent after rising 5.8 percent in June, the National Association of Realtors said today in Washington. A separate report showed inventories at U.S. wholesalers piled up twice as fast as forecast in July as their sales slid.”
Yep yep yep… It is a good time to buy.
“Today’s housing figures help explain why the government took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two days ago. Policy makers are aiming to stem the increase in mortgage rates triggered in part by the turmoil that engulfed the two companies, which make up almost half the $12 trillion U.S. mortgage market. Rates have dropped since Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s intervention.”
Yep but, the programs that was out there is now gone. Don’t believe the hype of lower interest rate because the Banks is not going to loan money to Asshats anymore. The Fannie and Freddie bailout will cost us about 300 billion! Dave, 11233, Biff and Wasder you are looking real fucking stupid right now. You are losing the war.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
