  • High Cash Stockpile Available for Buying Stocks to Fuel a Rally
    Agree w/Archman...Too many of the baby boomers who have liquid assets are not apt to invest this $ in equities unless they are assured of a sustained rally in the market.

    Many of these folks have seen their neighbors wiped out in '08 and are understandably scared right now.

    Just remember, there is no guarantee that the Fed will pull this thing off. Accepting 100% assurance in the Fed's ability to contain this crisis is IMO, downright foolish!

  • Analysts Fret Over Lennar's New Start-Up
    Judy,
    Would appreciate your thoughts as to the real estate market over the next 24 mos. Note that I did not mention only for '09 as the market will take many more mos. to stabilize than many expect. Remember, it took years to get to this point and the prospect of Uncle Sugar (Fed) making all correct will not be instantaneous.

    I am involved in Real Estate and believe the second half of '09 will bring an increase in sales. Only problem is that home values will continue to decline for several more years...

  • The Dr. Doom Space Is Getting Crowded
    Agree that Roubini is probably the best Dr. Doom. Even though he is of Iranian and Italian descent, I believe; Roubini reminds me of a Bela Lugosi type character. Of course Lugosi was the best Dracula.

  • This Recession's Not That Bad - And We're More Than Halfway Through
    Andy, my only hope for you is to please put your $ where your sentiments are if you think we are halfway through this recession and you are bullish; then you can publish another article in 6 mos. or so and tell all of us naysayers how incorrect we were. And I hope you are correct...

    I trade daily and try not to look forward more than a week @ most and agree with most of the other replies that there is much more downside going forward.

  • John Berry: Homebuying Binge on East Coast, Too
    Afraid the author does not see or understand that the de-leveraging in all areas of the economy will affect prices for many years to come.

    Home prices may return to the levels not seen since the late 80's or early 90's. Especially, since the average home purchaser will not be able to qualify under the new lending parameters.

  • 5 Reasons to Ignore Buffett
    Even though many feel otherwise, the "Oracle" is only human and has made investing errors in the past.

    Look at his substantial investment in US Airways years ago as one example.

    Buffet is trying to encourage the long term investment in good equities. Only problem, is that equities that are cheap now will probably be cheaper tomorrow.

  • More Homebuilder Trends [Housing Tracker]
    I live in the Charleston area and the above blurb from one of the local news channels is true. P. Ford is trying his best to place a positive spin on the negative...Unfortunate... too little too late. Much more pain to come. Disclosure, I am a member of National Assoc. of Realtors, no debt, sitting on 90% cash, waiting patiently for opportunities...

  • Now's the Time to Buy Bank Stocks
    Earnings season is here. Wait for the financials to report b-4 committing your hard earned capital.

    If he is correct and the Financial's spike, buy the SKF (inverse ETF on banks) under $100.

  • TARP Is Just the Beginning - Barron's
    Dr.Nouriel Roubini, the New York University Economist, Been following the good Doctor for several years. I may not agree with him all of the time but his predictions and assessments have been almost perfect.

    I would advise all to follow Dr. Roubini's advice as he is a frequent guest on CNBC and Bloomberg...

  • Wells Fargo: Strong and Getting Stronger
    I like WFC and feel it is a good fit for WB.

    However, last time WFC reported quarterly earnings they left off 80 billion in off balance sheet equity lines of credit.

    Until clarification or disclosure is made I plan to steer clear of WFC.

  • Las Vegas & Sacramento Housing Show Big Gains: Is Real Estate About to Surge?
    I am assuming that many of the sales were foreclosures. Anyway, good that sales are increasing in those markets.

    In many East Coast markets sales continue to decline since you guys on the left coast are a couple of years ahead of us.

  • Last Gasp of a Doomed Currency
    User 223799 you stated that real estate professionals have told you that the market has indeed bottomed. Maybe so in your area as all real estate is local. Hope you are correct.

    I am a Realtor and member of the NAR and will be the first to admit that you cannot believe a "damn" thing most Realtors tell you as most are struggling to survive. I will give you an honest assessment in my area is that the industry is in crisis and it will be a lengthy drawn out period b-4 it improves.

  • Case/Shiller Index: Are We Close to a Bottom?
    Agree with the assessment that the R.E. may be reaching a bottom. But this is only in the locations the Case/Shiller index is monitoring. Areas in Ca. Fl. and Nv. could be on the cusp of beginning to improve. Other states that were affected later are still experiencing the decline.
    It took several years for this to develop and I fear it will take a similar or longer time for it to play out.
    With additional sectors now being involved including consumer credit, alt-a mortgages, equity lines and commercial real estate, we have a long way to go. Dr. Nouriel Roubini, Professor of Eco. @ NYU has a good video on this at Bloomberg.
