Mish,
Great work on your blog. You and the Tyler (Zero Hedge) are great sources for information and discussion.
I would like to see the trading history of the 70 economist polled and also find out where they work...me thinks they are from Blackrock, Goldman, B of A, JPM etc.

Great news everyone, due to increasing demand. I have expanded my facilities, and I am now not only accepting unwanted fiat currency but those pesky unwanted property deeds.

Crashing Housing says
Oh I have Buddy Boy, that is MY message to YOU!
I bought a house and am "getting on with my life" quite well.
Guess what, the property value went down some, but planes didn't fall from the sky, the bank bulldozers aren't in my front yard, and the man in the suit isn't at my door serving me papers.
I'm still paying the same thing for my mortgage today, that I was paying in rent in 2008. I can care less what the property values do. My tax keeps going lower, and I if this keeps up, I'll pick up a few more houses to rent out.
You folks are WAITING, waiting for something, I'm not sure what. But you expect that some "The way it used to be" clause will kick in, and we'll resume this "American Dream" initiative we've always enjoyed. The truth is, when the dust settles, there's going to be huge division in this county.
Like musical chairs, those that grabbed a seat(i.e. Houses) will have a seat, those that put their lives on hold for a return of the good ole days. Will be renters, i.e. the have not's.
It will be like property in Old countries, those properties have been in families for generations, and they aren't selling.

Lemme ass you a question?
What magical money pile does the rent money you throw out the window go into? You speak as if the rent you pay is some special protected asset, and every real estate transaction in the world is a losing proposition.
Selective accounting, you only carry over the ones and add the zeros on other peoples numbers, but you just totally don't even figure in your rent when you work your numbers.
Nice try and game set match!

Never mind, you seemed "touched".
You're calling me a liar because I'm paying a $1200 mortgage which was the same thing I was paying in rent in 2008. That same place now rents for $1700 a month. I could rent my "Shack" for $2100, and plan on doing just that when I buy an even cheaper, but nicer house a little East and on the water.

CaptainUncertainIdidTheRightThingGoingIntoALotofDebt: "Will be renters, i.e. the have not's."
Its so sad I know, we have nots. For example, I rent a great house for 1/3 the cost of buying it. But I don't have it.
When things break my sucker, the landlord fixes it while I go out for some fine dining. Which I pay for and eat and enjoy, but then the food is gone and I don't have it.
I'm saving so much money that I spend some of it on vacations, relaxing or exciting depending on what I feel like. But then some money is gone and I don't have it.

Solution is easy. More globalisation, more free trade and ship even more factories to China.

We dont have free trade, never did ever since we did business even with Japan. Chinese like the Japanese dont see what is fair, but what is game for them. And we are so anti business, anti capitalist, they are more than eager to take what ever we created and call it theirs. The US doesnt want factories, they want to occupy Wall Street.

That is what a good business does-do what is good for them. Not be caught up in utopian ideals of free trade. What difference does it make if you call it free trad/communism/whateverism. A rose by any other name is a rose. Trade with another country should be beneficial for the majority-not drag us down to third world status.

About the only sane commentary I've read about how self-destructive the Wall Street doomsday machine of criminalized finance is to the the USA - addressed comprehensively - has come from PRC Communist Party apparatchiks.
Everyone in the states who is not dismissed as a marxist lackey who hates prosperity thinks it is normal and wholesome for a multi-trillion market space to blow itself to smithereens and take the world with it every 10-15 years and that even thinking about re-regulating it would provoke Jesus to ascend from heaven and take a shit on our faces.
Disband the NAR! Ban the securitization of mortgage instruments!
