Lets not forget the builder are the bubbleheads best friends!!

Its true they price gouge on the way up but on the way down they under cut the existing sellers.

Also they are the only people actually creating supply=lower prices and they will NEVER STOP.

Why so much anger on builders? I say BUILD BUILD BUILD BUILD. Housing 'should' end up cheaper than pre-bubble due to the 4 million homes for sale are apparently 'extra'.

One that needs to is ex-CEO of KBH Karatz.

Karatz resigned in November amid a federal criminal probe into the backdating of stock options at the company. Human resources chief Gary Ray was fired the same day, after KB Home said they used ``hindsight'' to ensure stock options could be exercised at favorable prices. Karatz was paid $43 million in 2005, which made him the highest-earning homebuilder CEO.

There will only be a few scapegoats just like the S&L scandal. Taxpayers get to add it to the tab.

Gotta second hauspocalypsenow on this. More supply means more choices and lower prices when the insanity ends.

Would like to see a higher quality product, but I can start with oversupply.

Now if we can end the idea that HOAs and things like Mello Roos are a good idea, we should be set.

That slimeball ceo from countrywide should be on a chain gang.Or better yet have casey serin crush his balls with a pair of vice grips.
Daivd lereah should be screwing a blow up doll in front of all the people he has brought to financial ruin.
Bush and cheney should be sent to china to make sex toys in a sweat shop.

You're giving the Hamburglar a bad name by lumping him with this level of crook. Hamburglar just has a habit to feed and his crimes only hurt Ronald - and Ronald can afford losing a few burgers here and there.

Go homebuilders! Down with mortgage companies though. They are the major cause (well other than the FED)

David jenkins and Gary Keller - the guys behind keller Williams for pushing trashy novels to their realt-whores like how to make millions investing in real estate and how to flip houses. That's how they trained all their new real estate agents.

The guys that took their advise should pull out the pitchforks and go on a rampage.

Major homebuilders like Lennar and Kb lost hundreds of millions of dollars this past quarter and the realtrolls keep telling us that home prices are still going up. If the real prices were going up, the builders would be making even more money than 2005-2006. Will there be a rebuttal from any realtrolls?

Every time I hear Hayes Barnard owner of Paramount Equity on the radio I want to throw out my radio. I think he's a future jail bird.

I fully agree with hausapocalypsenow. The homebuilders are the few honest members of the reic right now.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac execs mind you, should be put under a giant magnifying glass on a bright, sunny day and burned alive like the pathetic insects that they are. I think anferny mozillo, countrywide's ceo, has already spent some time fake-baking under that microscope so perhaps we should just send him straight to the deep fryer.
