I see SHELLY joined about the same time to tell us what's what.

:shock: Coincidence?--or on a divine mission to warn the world of the Imminent Economic Meltdown.

I hope you warned at least a few people besides us.

Evidently not. :shock:

...George Bush and Hank Paulson wouldn't return my calls.

I thought you meant postage stamps for a minute. Clark Howard was on the other day pointing out that "Forever Stamps" are currently the safest and largest return on investment. Something around 5%. The holding costs shouldn't be to high either unless your junk drawer or desk drawer are full.

Sounds good in theory, but try to get the USPS to buy them back. That 41 cent stamp goes up to 44 very soon, so use those stamps people!

The market practically ground to a halt right before Dennis hit in July of '05. Tipping point ...

Two shark "attacks" and about 20+ Tropical Storms/hurricanes, and people blame the downturn on the rapid increase of real estate.

The shark attacks and tropical storms had no real effect. The downturn was all about fake value.

I would suggest the fake values and the ability to access the fake equities thru HELOCs in the markets of buyers primary residence, i.e. Atlanta, Birmingham, Dallas, etc, are the culprits moreso than the fake values in SoWal. The second home purchases in Sowal were not "value" decisions unless you mean the lifestyle value instead of economic value. How many prayers were said by buyers before and after closings to the effect "boy we're screwed if the market crashes".

The real reason the Market collapsed!

Take note: The down turn of the market can be traced to the release of Dibs. Those damn little crunchy ice creams balls! Eat one and you can not concentrate on anything else! Until those are taken off the shelf we are all doomed!

I think the idea was to buy them up now and then release them in increments after the price increase.

Let's do lunch I feel a short lived MLM scheme coming on.

Shh, don't tell Josh.

You have a very inventive mind.
