Muffie;
You just can’t resist Brownstoner, can you!?!?!! C’mon: admit it!
😉
You should have come last night. We all identify ourselves by our handle (unless someone chooses otherwise).
I agree with you that the economy is in flux, and it’s hard to say where we are going. I think that one factor the Bears should consider is that mentioned by superlawyer: the Fed’s decision to basically start printing money. History is replete with examples of governments infalting their way out a hole.
I have nowhere near the expertise to say whether or not we are headed for deflation or inflation. I think your point is well-taken,however: don;t rest easily on your assumptions. Keep an eye out – this is new territory we’re in now.
Sorry to put you guys on the spot. Its none of my business anyway. You’re both cool guys and that’s about that.
Dave,
I made the basically the same point as lechecal (except for the part about the fight with you).
A small sample of unsold houses is more meaningful (because it’s somewhat random) but a small sample of sold houses is not? (because they’re the outliers, not a psuedo-random sample)
I thought you were some kinda hedge fund rocket scientist. Why is the logic mindboggling?
Miss Muffett….as much as we all like to argue, I don’t think you would have started an obnoxious confrontational exchange. I applaud your patience.
Re: DIBS-lechacal exchange last night – Exhibit A re: why I like my anonymity!
You started it lechacal so you can explain it. I think wasder may already have a good enough idea.
DIBS, you are welcome to explain the entire exchange. I won’t even respond if it is vaguely accurate.
So, a small sample of unsold houses is meaningful but a small sample of sold houses is not?? The logic is mindboggling.
“Certainly no hard feelings about you calling me an asshole (and likewise no apologies about anything I said).”
What was said? Hard to imagine feelings getting bruised at such a jovial gathering…
