Pretty brisk business in the brownstone neighborhoods and a head-scratcher in Manhattan Beach.

3,532-sf house on a 6,000-sf lot half a block from Manhattan Beach Park. Property Shark records show it last traded for $800,000 in 2005—quite the meteoric appreciation.
3. BOERUM HILL $2,700,000
253 Dean Street Street GMAP
20 ft x 42 ft townhouse with an owner’s triplex and rental unit. The property sold quickly: It was listed for $2.495 million in late May. The Los Angeles-based person who signed as a trustee for the purchase has the same name as someone who’s reportedly dating a star of the TV show “Grey’s Anatomy.” Coincidence? Deed recorded 9/03.

“What has agreed to take us out for drinks on the 17th if it doesn’t come to pass.”
Whoa nellie! I promise nothing that from from your mind fuck. Plus a bunch of you said I was a “internet bull” and in real life I’m a punk, right. Why then you want to meet me face to face? I cant see anything of that meeting coming out good.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
“Hey What, looks like some people know something we don’t. Fannie Mae up 45% today! ”
Perhaps you don’t know how markets work. FNM is trading a little above $1. The money made today was as predictable as the What and Dave having an argument today. In fact, I was asleep at the wheel last night or I would have made the quick easy money that everyone with half brain knew was coming today. But people this is all about long term not short term. I predict this time next year FNM won’t even be traded. Although, unlike the what if I’m wrong next year I’m more than willing to eat humble pie.
As much as I think brownstoner has done a great job with this site I wouldn’t call him one of “our leaders.” And, maybe he doesn’t want to be lumped in with that ilk anyway.
What…if you don’t have money in the market long-term you are a fool. Most of us have known this for quite some time but now everybody has proof. Only a fool condemns what he does not understand.
Get some advice and buy some mutual funds. Now I know why you are bitter.
Troll—you are way behind on this one. Biff is on it. October 16th is doomsday. What has agreed to take us out for drinks on the 17th if it doesn’t come to pass.
So the What predicted a total collapse in 9 months. I am not sure when he made this prediction and how much time is left, but I think it would be a good idea to place a ticker at the top of brownstoner.
Call it “The What’s doomsday ticker”
“we live in a world of fantasy and lies”
what
No, twhat, only you do.
“I don’t understand why the What hasn’t bought himself a townhouse in Manhattan with the money he made on his shorts, which to be honest have been fairly good calls.
What, don’t you have the balls to short? Or don’t you have the money?”
The market is for suckers. With all the obfuscation going on a investor can’t make a honest decision. All the fucking lying by our leaders (like Paulson) and institutions (we don’t need to raise capital) and the President (There are weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq) and Brownstoner (Highest sales my fucking ass).
Denton we live in a world of fantasy and lies. The Asshats make decisions that fuck up everything for everyone else. We are in the greatest asset bubble know to man and when it pops there will be economic pain that will be felt for years. The Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac thing was the beginning. Any motherfucker that argues otherwise is a retarded Asshat…
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
Hey What, looks like some people know something we don’t. Fannie Mae up 45% today! Looks like people think the guvment’s gonna make some money off this deal!
