I had the same thought, but read it, along with some other stuff on the site, and it was not unreasonable. I read all kinds of sh*t. I wasn't inclined to subscribe or buy the guys book to "See what comes next" however. ARS

Actually, he was merely reposting a post from the London Banker, who in turn was reposting data from Brad Setser's blog. So, despite the blog's name, the underlying data comes from a reliable source, Brad Setser, an economist with the Council for Foreign Relations.

Corn cawber, Your answer to this was a classic.

It's ramifications range from enivironmental destruction to economic destruction. Those that profited from it should be ashamed and those who caused it should be taken out and whipped. Like the stock market in 2000, a generation of gains were had in a few years. Those buying now run the risk of financial devistation. Those that have been renting, saving, living on a boat, been out of the country for the last few years, taking care of sick relatives or simply saving for a first home have been screwed over royally. Even sadder is the fact that the government will be happy to perpetuate it putting a greater number of people at risk. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a taxpayer bailout. To let something as basic as housing become a bubble game is totally irresponsible and unconscionable. The people responsible for this should be identified and be made to pay for what they have done. -------------- Your answer To: Bonefish who wrote (46099) 12/26/2005 6:18:34 AM From: Micawber Read Replies (1) \| Respond to of 151168 siliconinvestor.com I would like to see a show of hands from those of you who have made money in this "most potentially destructive, pathetic events in U.S. History." You should be ashamed of yourself for making that money. Perhaps you should give it back, to those "that have been renting, saving, living on a boat, been out of the country for the last few years, taking care of sick relatives or simply saving for a first home". Fascinating. -------------- So Cawber, does it still fascinate you? Or do you finally get it after nearly 3 years?
