HP'ers: Need your help with housing bubble t-shirt and bumper sticker taglines


A bunch of you have asked for this, so I'm thinking of having some housing bubble t-shirts and bumper stickers done up to put on the site.

So post here some funny taglines, funny ideas or suggestions and hopefully you'll see some of them (and be able to wear some of them) soon. And what else do you want besides t-shirts and bumper stickers to rub your rightness into the dumbness of your fellow man?

Here's a few of mine for starters - fire away

* Sold House Bought Gold
* HousingPanic Sold My House
* Bubblesitter and Proud
* Condo Flipper 2004 (picture of wealth) Condo Flipper 2006 (picture of desperation)
* (Image of MasterCard): Are You a Debt Whore?
* There is no housing bubble (anymore)
* David Lereah for President 2008 (Not!)
* But Suzanne researched this! (with screenshot of the ad wife)
* This listing is special John, you guys can do this!
* How's that pre-construction condo investment looking now?
* No-down, no-doc, interest-only, negative-am what?
* Housing Bubble RIP (gravestone) 2000 - 2006
* Greenspan Knew (Nasdaq chart, Toll Brothers chart)
* Bob Toll image next to PT Barnum image and "Yes, there is a sucker born every minute"
* Who's worth more (picture of realtor, picture of street hooker)

Those are cool!

If you wear one the entire world will how ignorant and pessimistic you are.

Hoping and or reveling in someone else's pain is a serious psychological disorder. Good idea! Buy one and show off your intelligence everyone...

As opposed to all the home "owners" who have been gloating about their new found wealth and extracting the temporary equity to pretend they are rich. Do the letter F and U mean anything to you??

Only if I reduce my IQ. Let's all cater to the lowest common denominator. Maybe you should try to be successful rather than hoping the entire real estate commumity fails to some degree, which in turn would be a blow to the country's economy. But I guess when you're a loser all you have left is hoping others lose too. Sad.

"But I guess when you're a loser all you have left is hoping others lose too. Sad."

uh, nope, we're winners, we see (and saw) what was going on, and we're working to protect ourselves, our friends and our families, even though this depression will hurt us too

everyone else who chose to ignore the warnings, who called us losers for renting, who got wrapped up in greed and the idea of getting rich without working, well, they're on their own. they were warned.

Anonymous said...

That's not the sentiment of your little minions. There's nothing wrong with renting. There's nothing wrong with owning. But the majority of your followers and yourself are reveling in the idea of a market correction that suits you own simple (and greedy in their own rights) needs and opinions. Anyone who got greedy with HELOCS and seconds, and ARMS (with re-financing at the right time) can only blame themselves.

An ode to the conformist way of thinking.

Sorry, but the bulls don't rule the mental plane anymore. You've had your time in the sun.

:There's nothing wrong with owning.

Hmm... property taxes on an overassessed unit, depreciating structures, vanishing equity, and let's not forget, difficulty in re-locating once one's company changes locale.

So if the place wasn't bought before 2000 then one's in an illiquid position when career circumstances change.

Hey Keith do something about this.

Threadjacking is poor form... right??

It's a new paradigm, and everybody who doesn't buy, now, will be priced out forever. Anybody who does buy will be rewarded with a lifetime of riches, as their property will continue its 30% yearly price increase.

Renters, and anybody born in a future generation, will not be able to afford a $10,000,000 starter home in 15 years. They will live in tent cities, and Hondas.

This asset bubble is different than all of the others - it will never slow down, or pop. The gains are permanent.

I like these:

"My wife got a HELOC and all I got was this lousy foreclosure"

"No-down, no-doc, interest-only, negative-am what?"

(or "No-down, no-doc, interest-only, negative-am, teaser rate huh?")

Those were GREAT.

p.s. Nobody (outside of our little clique) knows who Suzanne or David Lereah is... Stick to generic slogans for a t-shirt.

No, what is sad is that while I was careful enough not to mortgage my family's future on an obviously overpriced asset, people like my new secratary (who makes about $30K/yr and is not what I would consider to be very "sucessful") gloats to me that her house is worth $500K. Yet she has no equity and is in preforeclosure.

When the laws of economics and finance cease to become reality and only those who are ignorant and/or greedy enough to take enormous financial risk are rewarded, all of us who chose not to follow the uneducated herd are entitled to cheer the arrival (finally) of econmic sanity and the fact that all of those who thought they were financial geniuses are being cut down to size.

Forgive us for feeling satisfied that we are ultimately being rewarded for our caution and patience.
