To David Lereah, Nicholas Retsinas, Bob Toll, the realtors over at Realtytimes.com, the lazy Catherine Reagor of the Arizona Republic and her rolodex of realtors, the frauds at firstrung.co.uk, the idiot Gregg Swann at Bloodhound Realty, the incompetent MSM, the REIC HP trolls, and all the corrupt realtors, mortgage brokers, appraisers, builders, bankers and politicians involved in furthering the biggest Ponzi Scheme in the history of humanity, the Late Great Housing Bubble, I've got one thing to say.
Kiss my blogger butt.
There's no editor looking over my shoulder, no incentive to keep this bubble going. Blogging has changed the rules of the game, we are the proxy of the people, and your day is done. I look forward to reporting on the REIC jail sentences, the scandals uncovered, and the corruption exposed.
Thank you HP'ers for making taking this blog to over 250,000 views a month. I hope you enjoy the ride - we're just getting started.

Keith (I posted this below on the "Calgary" topic, but i wanted to make sure you saw it. Sorry for the double post),
OT on this particular topic but relevant to your earlier post regarding should you write a book.
If you recall, I suggested you contact John Rubino, who has authored several books on the dollar, housing, and other subjects.
Well, I found his e-mail address should you wish to follow up with him:
john@dollarcollapse.com
Again, I urge you to get in touch with John, have him view your site (if he hasn't already) and try to cut a deal for your book idea.
Good luck with your endeavor. I believe you would do well if you use the same style of writing and graphics as on this site.
Take care,
Butch
woo hoo!!!!!
keith:
there's your proof of a bestseller book in case you decide to do it.
You could do book signings at foreclosure auctions.
I hope you enjoy the ride - we're just getting started.
Congrats to you and your blog. It's been a great run, but realize these are the glory days. Enjoy them!
BTW, you're a great writer ... though I don't always agree w/ you.
Keith,
load up on gold/silver,
and keep up doing good job!!!
We love your blog.
Congrats Keith! Keep up the good work. Don't get cocky!
Hey Keith,
Buy now or be priced out forever.

Housing bubble blogs blow my mind. One or two anecdotal reports don't mean much, but after reports come in from enough different places, you can start to form a coherent picture of the truth, a picture that will always be ahead of the MSM. This blog in particular attracts people from all walks of life (if writing, grammar, and spelling mean anything) - an education in itself. Democracy in action. I started reading HP prior to the Spring slowdown - what an amazing ride it's been so far! Information = power.
Amen!

Keith,
You don't know what your are talking about. RE always goes up, buy now or be priced our forever.
:)
But seriously, everything I see around me tell me we are still in the denial phase. It's so early in this bust, that the anger phase may take some time.
Brokers I speak to on Long Island (think "big bubble territory") are still pretty upbeat even though the # of sales and $ volume in Q2 for almost all towns is the lowest in at least 4 years.
So the brokers' commissions are falling precipitously at a time when the number of brokers is at its highest level.
Inventory continues to climb and asking prices have come down substantially from their peak. Yet like I said, hope abounds for the brokers and many sellers who have yet to get in line with current prices.
Definitely still denial phase.
These were the years after the ice caps have melted because of the greenhouse gases. And the oceans had risen to drown so many cities along all the shorelines of the world; Amsterdam, Venice, New York, forever lost. Millions of people were displaced. Climate became chaotic. Hundreds of millions of people starved in poorer countries. Elsewhere, a high degree of prosperity survived when most governments in the developed world introduced legal sanctions to strictly license pregnancies. Which was why robots, who were never hungry and did not consume resources beyond their first manufacture, were so essential an economic link, in the chain mail of society.
I imagine that you are enjoying running this blog as much as I enjoy reading it on a daily basis. It would be nice if you could get together with other bloggers and completely replace the MSM.
You know that the MSM are reading this blog and you know that they are afraid.
Just like the telegraph changed the way we communicate, the blog will change the way we comprehend.
No longer will those in power be able to manipulate the past, present and future.
The eyes of truth are always upon you.
All hell is about to break loose, just give it another 8 months or so.
congrats on a consistently entertaining and informative blog !
Kieth,
I enjoy your blog.
I am in my mid 40’s. This puts me at the tail end of the baby boomers. By the time I hit retirement age, there will be nothing left. God knows I have paid in my fair share and will receive nodda in return. That said, I tend to agree with your assessment of the greed of the boomers, but this also extends across all age brackets.
I for one have never had the luxury of owning a brand new car. I have never owned a brand new home. However, twenty years ago, I paid my own way thru college and have managed to create a comfortable, simple life for my family. The house I own was purchased to live in on a loan that could be and was paid off in 15 years. Not all of us over 40 crowd are the greedy, self absorbed types, that you often reference in your posts.
I have been watching this asset bubble play out for a few years now. I would like to thank you for offering an opposing view. For a long time there were only a few opposing voices to those of the REIC.
Keep stirring the pot so we can all see what floats to the top.
Is that a head and shoulders formation brewing in your page view keith :)
-just kidding congrats!
Right on Keith! We're taking this mother down.
The Buyer's Strike is on!
Rampant RE speculation
Condo craze across the nation
Little old grannies buying up two
If they don't go up she's gonna sue
The perfect double whammy
For the mother of yer mammy
Her wrinkled hand is surely caught
In the RE cookie jar she bought
Property valuations dropping
A condo floor that needs a mopping
Though it shouldn't be surprising
Insurance rates are fastly rising
HGTV what a sensation
To the mortgage debtor nation
Who is left, holding the bag?
It's dot com granny, that old hag
Silver haired ex-battle axes
Paying inflated property taxes
ARMs resetting daily now
Going up faster than the Dow
See how her RE losses mount
Just cleaned out her bank account
Dot com granny foreclosed upon
They threw her stuff out on the lawn
Dot com granny,
Who's your favorite singer?
Dom com granny,
Your tits are in a wringer
Go ahead, Keith, tell us how you really feel!
"You could do signings at foreclosures".
I'd rather see them outside of prisons as they haul some Bank presidents and lenders in.
As a way to lend a party atmosphere to what would otherwise be a somber occasion.
I'm picturing tables and lots of balloons just outside of the prison entrances.
Every week a different city.
Let's all wait for borkafatty's response, shall we?
Long live free speech and your uncompromising, brutal, and dead-on editorials. Not to mention the best blog pictures on the planet.
You are not scared to stick yourself out on a limb. Sometimes the limb even breaks but you get right back out there. I admire your guts.
As the titanic goes down you will be attacked, vilified, and blamed for a lot of things. But I know you have a thick skin and will become even more outspoken.
You are "dirty Harry" saying "make my day punk" to the @#E$# RE industry on a daily basis. And the bastards have it coming after what they have done.
Keep letting them have it!
To you Keith.....GREAT Blog!!!
Awesome blog Keith I have been reading it for more than a year and just love it.
in my dreams uknow... either google serves up bad ads or hp'ers are just too lazy to click 'em...
but pays for a beer at the pub every now and then...
cheers
Keith, I'll click a couple for a good cause like that. ;-)
Keith: this blog is great. As good for the bubble news as it is for a few irreverent laughs. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Keep up the good work Keith! I still read the blog, but have been too busy to post. In good time because I want to be able to add my 2 cents as the sh_t storm really hits. Do what you do...
Are 401Ks safe?
Write On Keith.
You know that the MSM are reading this blog and you know that they are afraid.
Just like the telegraph changed the way we communicate, the blog will change the way we comprehend
The MSM would not have much to fear if they reported the TRUTH. They don't. Even the most comatose are beginning to figure that out.
Hope Dan Rather is enjoying his early retirement.
Ya, what hew said!
hell after this housinghing busts, i cant wait for all the newspapers to be closed by W's martial law mandate and then all the realtor-whores and commie-pinko-lib-newspaper-whores can shack up in the same cardboard box.
long blog keith!
i'll throw a few dozen click your way, very slow in the office today. heres a beer on me!
This blog provides a forum for individuals to share anecdotal evidence of what is really happening out there. While the MSM is conveying the REIC’s recent message that “the housing bust is over; there is a slight correction,” HP-ers see what is actually happening and are sharing it with one another on this blog.
Speaking of anecdotal evidence contradicting what is coming out of the foul mouth of the REIC, on 9/20 I wrote a post on HP about a new manager who just moved here (the Seattle area) from Florida. Despite suggesting he wait before jumping into a home purchase, being a true manager, he ignored this sage advice from an underling and just bought a $390K home, complete with granite countertops.
I concluded last week's post with: “Let’s wish him lots of luck selling his Florida property! The first time he whines about making two house payments I will post his comments to this blog. Stay tuned!”
Another poster responded with, “We'll be waiting!”
_____________________
The whining has commenced, hence the reason for today’s post. This morning he made the comment, “I wonder how long I am going to have to make two house payments?
When I asked him how the house sale was going, he complained that it was only being shown at the rate of once a week. He said that there were a lot of speculators who brought property in the area and now have these on the market, so the local market is saturated. He also mentioned that there are now three foreclosures a week in the county where his house is located.
He emailed a link to the website where the house is listed, and there in the corner was an icon that reads, “Just Listed!” (although it has already been on the market for a month). So much for truth in advertising...
Anyone interested in reading about future developments of this anecdotal saga, or do you prefer to just reading long dry articles copied & pasted from the MSM news?
-Mammoth
What County in Florida Mammoth? Just curious.
And yes, stories are good.
Anon 4:43:35,
The house is located in the town of Cape Coral, which is in Lee County, Florida

Congratulations Keith!
Great job.
Your blog has caused a lot of anxiety - and clarity - as to what is going on and how people dupped themselves into believing the b.s. of the aforementioned individuals and organizations.
Let't the hearings begin in Washington!
Time to view a few ads folks. Keith deserves our thanks and support for having the guts to tell the truth in a truth starved world.

Thanks for the entertainment. I’ll click some ads for ya…
Keep up the pressure on these thugs. Noone is protecting the little guy.
Thank God you are not a quitter Keith.
borka? Where u at?
Mammoth-
Keep us posted and you might also want to post it on the Seattle Bubble blog. It's a pretty boring blog that could use some energy.
We are in general dragged down by inertia here in seattle you know.
Am really wondering what kind of numbskull didn't know it might be hard to sell in FLA presently. Believe FLA is making international headlines as a case study in the crash.
Just behind AZ and CA.
