  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  Another analyst I like to listen to is Meredith Whitney .  I couldn’t find any more recent videos on her, but this is her forecast for the first quarter of 2010.  She is one of the people who called the banks losses correctly and knew they were cooking the books. The other good thing about her opinions that I ...

• Peter Schiff video 1.04.2010 Dollar Collapse By 70% In 2010?

  
  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  I always enjoy listening to Peter Schiff and his views on the economy.  One of these guys seems to get upset, but gets shut down easy.   Schiff tries to explain what he sees in the economy and what his forecast is, but all these financial guys don’t want to hear any doom and gloom.  They are the same guys who ...

• In Your Face, Ben Bernanke

  
  Boom2Bust.com — Authority: 132
  Perhaps it’s the material I’m reading day-in and day-out, but it’s been my understanding that one of the major causes (if not THE cause) of the U.S. housing bubble was abnormally-low interest rates in the wake of the 2001 recession. The current Fed chair wouldn’t agree with this assertion, however. From ...

• Then and Now

  
  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  I read an op-ed in the New York Times about the tea party movement.  It basically talks about how Americans are getting fed up with politicians from both sides.  It doesn’t matter if you are Democrat or Republican,  you feel most of our political leaders  are doing a poor job or completely failing.  I suggest ...

• Making Home Affordable, has raised false hopes among people who simply cannot afford their homes.

  
  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  I just finished reading a New York Times articles about how the government’s efforts to help the housing crisis may actually be making it worse.  I think at this point, most people will recognize that the start of this recession was mainly due to the housing bubble bursting.  It was the first big domino that ...

• American Express Recent Experiences on Credit Card Limit Reductions

  
  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  I don’t have any new American Express credit card blog posts but I still get many comments on the old posts.  Unfortunately, many of those comments are buried because the posts are so old. It’s funny that based on the comments and frequency of its post, you can actually tell what American Express is doing to ...

• Strategic Default: Morgan Stanley Gives Properties Back to the Lender

  
  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  I think this article is a great example of why individuals need to view their real estate transactions as investments.  Does it make sense to hold on to a house that you purchased at the top of the market boom and hold on to it for 15 years just to break even ?  This is not a question of ethics, morals, and/or ...

• 81 Year Old Lawrence Rickman tells the Credit Card company to shove it.

  
  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  The credit card companies are at war with consumers.  They have taken preemptive action to keep its profits from turning to losses.  The credit card companies have rushed to change all fixed rate cards to variable rates to basically expose a loophole in the new laws passed.

• U.S. Mortgage, Foreclosure Pain Grows In Third Quarter

  
  Boom2Bust.com — Authority: 132
  I keep on hearing the mainstream media talking about a “housing recovery.” However, the constant stream of miserable housing data, like that found in a Los Angeles Times piece on Tuesday, makes me wonder about the MSM’s claim. Jim Puzzanghera wrote: Troubled home loans continued to mount in the nation’s ...

• Las Vegas Woman Victim of Foreclosure Mistake has her home Trashed Out!

  
  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  With so many foreclosures taking place in America, I am surprised this doesn’t happen more often.  Fortunately, it doesn’t happen often but when it does happen I think there should be severe punishments for that company. A lady who was not in foreclosure had her home “trashed out” by accident.  All her ...

• CBS 60 Minutes: Wilmington’s Long Recession

  
  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  When I watch videos like this on 60 Minutes, I realize the Great Recession that has been declared over by many economists is wrong.  They may take some reports to rationalize that things are better, but when you see all the people still hurting and suffering, you know the recession is no where near over. Watch CBS ...

  Fund My Mutual Fund — Authority: 590
  Since the current "market" in housing is so misconstrued with artifical interest rates, $8000 (or $6500 for repeat buyers) handouts, HAMP programs, bailouts, 3.5% down (haha) FHA loans to almost anyone who breathes up to the $730K range, and the like [ Nov 20, 2009: NYT - With FHA Help, Easy Loans in Expensive Areas ...

• Ron Paul: Bernanke is World’s Greatest Counterfeiter 12.16.2009

  
  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  It’s funny to me that people still believe that Bernanke has done a good job. The media makes it sound like he saved the world, when he actually contributed to the global recession. He was nominated by our former President who has also failed. Yet, many ignorant people think Bush has also done a good job. This ...

  Every Friday after 5 pm, the FDIC comes in like a ninja in the night and starts taking over failed banks.  This last Friday it was very busy as it took over 7 failed banks bringing the total to 140 year to date.  The bank closures are a contradiction to all the positive news spun by the mainstream media, economists, ...

• Why Does Our Current Congress Suck?

  
  CHESSNOID — Authority: 134
  Most of our elected politicians claim they are trying to make things better for most Americans.  Why is it they always have actions that contradict their words and promises.  All you have to do is follow the money.  Lobbyists giving certain politician financial support seems to dictate what gets done.  Those ...

  This was a trend we noted in summer 2008 [ Jun 7, 2008: Staycations and the Shrinking Home ] ... The houses themselves are being radically downsized to meet buyers budgets .
