@Rats
Point of reference question
Has any of your contacts gave an impression that the $40 billion in mortgage bonds in QE3 is actually speeding up another housing collaspe?
Alot of mortgage firms are selling thier shares? And for the life of me I can’t figure that one out. With the $40 billion in mortgage bonds a month you’d figure they would shore up the shares, but they aren’t (At this point)
People start businesses to make money. No one goes into business to say, I want to take all my profits and give it to the government to give to other people who sit back and claim they can’t get a job or work doing something for a living. Manufacturing shuttered their factories when the American worker priced themselves out of a job and the government taxed them into ruin. If they can make a $1.00 widget with an overhead of $5.00 in Sri Lanka as opposed to the $25 overhead in the US, guess where widgets are gonna be made, ain’t gonna be Tulsa OK or Pittsburgh PA. What the laborer demands in Sri Lanka a day is one hour’s wages in the US.

In short HELL NO!! Everyone is scared of what the red tape is and will be going forward not to mention what will happen if Obama is reelected (will he turn in a different direction) or if Romney is elected what and how fast will he change course.
He is a long story short, guy qualifies for loan modification, jumps through all the hoops, gives all the documents etc, after a LOOOONG time he is contacted, (now keep in mind he could not afford his house payment and could not sell cuz underwater) Congratulations you are done and your mortgage is modified, your ne payment will be…………………………….$500 MORE than you are paying now!!!
TRUE STORY!!! I am trying to help him figure out what to do!!!
Did anyone watch Soledad O’Brien’s interview with Joel Osteen? She was relentless to the point she was insulting. She questioned his belief of not endorsing gay marriage and totally dismissed his views as “wrong”. Then she mocked his published teachings and advice after the interview with her panel. When has believing or not believing something is against their religious doctrine become wrong? Would she have had the nerve to do this to an Imam? I don’t think so…You want reasons why CNN has lost it’s viewership?
Coffee I misunderstood your question so my Hell no becomes a Hell Yes!!
@Ratboy
One concern I have is Wells Fargo. They did fairly well, and did not need any bailout money, they actually made it through very well. But they are (On trade Sites) showing signs of some unstability now, not much but they haven’t up until now.
Guess we’ll see I supoose. Thanks Rat Dude
RealityChick—you are one strong woman to watch Solidad Obrien. Her behavior is so repugnant that I can’t stomach her. Her numbers show not many people are liking it either.
That being said, why would anyone who doesn’t share her beliefs go on her program?
@Ratboy
Coffee I misunderstood your question so my Hell no becomes a Hell Yes!!
Make up your mind LOL

According to one lender I work with, the big boys are throwing up some smoke and mirrors to cover up them sitting on money because they know that Obama will lay more out for them if times look “bleak” He is a pretty smart guy so I dont know if it holds any water.
PS I love what Sununu– said to obrien, “Why don’t you just put an obama bumper sticker on your forehead?”
@Ralph Hahn
I made my bones when you were still dating cheerleaders! lol
Hey! I only dated 4 of them:lol:
Coffee Steve keep in mind one more thing. The deal where they did the loan modification but raised the payment, it did not work but in the government eyes that couns as another sucsessful loan modification!
I gatta go
Wife has to farmville now
BBL…
@Ratboy @Coffee Steve
Depending on the amount of time left on his mortgage, how old the person is, do they have children, what are the ages of the children and does the person have a job…loan modifications are ok if a) you have a family and need a roof over your head and they are small b) mortgages were short-term under fifteen years. Sometimes it’s better to walk away if you consider the ramifications of declaring bankruptcy. See, if the person is paying a huge payment all in interest for the next thirty years and will never in his lifetime regain any equity in the home, it’s better to start over. This way the money the person is making in the future can go to his family and their future, not making the bank rich.
The bank won’t lose money except on paper. The home would be sold at auction and it will become another write-off insurance subsidized. Kind of like Hole-In-One insurance organizations get when they have golf outings…

Was that really considered “dating”? The cheeleaders I went for didnt have time for the dinner and movie
Personal bankruptcy will discourage people lending you money for about ten years, but in the light of this person’s current circumstances, ten years of at least being able to better structure the debt through a bankruptcy court as opposed to the inept government I would choose if I had no hope whatsoever of getting ahead on the mortgage. The family would be able to keep more of it’s income. It’s a bitter pill to swallow and so sad so many have been duped into thinking they can afford more than they really should have committed to pay. Banks became predators. I know. I worked for one in another life in their finance division. It was all about the sales. Didn’t you know that everyone needs ten checking accounts, three debit cards, two car loans and CD’s out the wazzoo that pay next to nothing. It’s about the quantity, not the quality of the service.
@Papa: I put “Ordinary Joe” on my Pay-No-Mind List, like I have Jeffie aka Fertilizer Boy. The first really has nothing to say but mocks what you’re saying. The second has a lot to say. Or should I say is busy 24/7/365 cutting and pasting $#1t from liberal bloggoes. Both have Zero Credibility among the libs and conservatives on this board. So, why bother, huh? I think Mark2 was Jeffie at the amout of dog$#1t he cuts and pastes.
Our friend Coffee Steve joked about Godfather lines. Referencing “Casino,” the previously mentioned characters — I’d like to put their heads in a vise sometimes. Maybe they’d get straightened out a bit, right Papa?
