Gary my boy, you just broke the DaVinci Code. :-)

That statement alone noted above speaks sheer volumes for those
educated and or intelligent enough to comprehend
the implications of the same. Thanks for a most refreshing posting.

That has long been common knowledge to those of us who noticed the
downhill slide of radio receiver quality when the Volume knobs became
larger than the Tuning knobs.

Why does that Hamfest always have to be in Dayton? Why can't they have
it in other parts of the country? Bring it to Jackson and I will go.

appliances, the carpets and painted. He never lived in it. He must have
spent at least $20,000 to $30,000 fixing it. We got it for a buyer for
$440,000."

the point is that there are consequences to being a stupid buyer. I am just
trying to get people to think before they throw away money.

country gets hurt...even maroons in Holland Michigan.

when the "dot com" bubble went bust????)

Well, there's -another- day you woke up stupid.

As different as "apples and oranges"? I think not.

"dot com" bubble = people paying waaay too much for stocks, then the
bubble bursts, then the -entire country- was hurt.

Per Mike's post...

Real estate bubble = people paying too much for housing, the bubble is
starting to bust and people throughout the country are starting to get hurt.

A virtually identical analogy (like all bubbles), NOT "apples and oranges".

You offering your opinion--

Worth: 2 cents

You demonstrating once again why you so richly deserve your "dxAss"
moniker--

Worth: Priceless!

Has the president of your radio club ever flipped you off?
no why has yours?

Your president of the radio club has nothing do do with you, Markie.

but fliping Mr Stpid is a comon and profitable practice in real esate

So how do you like all that flipping? You are "Mr. Stupid."

I grow my own food (no grocery shopping bills), tenured teacher (job
for life), own a scooter, and have installed solar panels to hedge my
energy costs.

I also own a gun to shoot poachers wishing to steal my vegetables, and
live in a shooter friendly state (i.e. I won't get arrested for killing
you on my own property)

How is someone like myself affected by the housing bubble, except that
it provides me the ability to get RE on the cheap?

The whole country got hurt? The dot com bust didn't effect me one bit.

But I thought the topic was related to paying "too much", not selling. The
people who were paying "too much" didn't know they paid too much until the
after the bust.

If the whole country gets hurt, how might we protect the innocent victims of
these periodic busts? Perhaps punish those would sell "too cheap"?
