    I hope he is right, but Greenspan's record hasn't been so good.

    Now, AK, that's funny!

    I think my favorite bubble bath just got smeared.

    Nothing Allen Greenspan has to say should be given any weight.

    The man has no shame, because if he did, he would find a nice, deep hole and crawl into it. He is as much to blame for this situation as anyone, and I am beginning to think that the Founding Fathers, who tarred and feathered people, to shame them, had the right idea.

    I heard there will be a new occupant in the White House and I think it will be great for the neighborhood. It's a good start. Property values may increase. The family is popular, good looking, friendly, educated and community oriented. They fit in well. I'm looking forward to the move. Could be the start of something great.

    Does anyone remember Jon Lovitz' character on SNL -- the chronic liar. That's what I think of when Mr. G farts through his lips.

    Freeze dried and sitting in an upright position, Dad. I have no idea who supplies the audio...

    I just happened to be reading this about mr bubble:

    We’ve come a long way from the days when Alan Greenspan declared a national housing bubble “most unlikely.”
  • sukabi1 · 1 year ago
    yeah, and I hear he's pushing ARMs as THE way to go on a mortgage... just like he did in 2002-2003....

    can we bury these "experts" out back with the garbage now?

    Go for it!

    In fact, used housing sales are up in Orlando. It might be a blip but the trend is moving upwards right now.

    Well, there are always people with cash who buy up properties at fire-sale prices. That will give a false impression that the "market is picking up." If it's speculators buying up housing stock, that's not a good thing. There are also people who were wanting to buy and had saved some money. With plummeting prices, they are now able to enter the market. That's good in once respect, but it probably means someone else lost their shirt.

    WHY WOULD ANY PERSON PAY SERIOUS ATTENTION TO

    GREENSPAN? He is the NERO of this time and has been totally discredited by his tenure. He has amazing nerve to be making pronouncements now after his total failures. He is either a fraud or total incompetent or BOTH. He would be a perfect fit in a McSame administration from HE-L.
