Imagine waking up in a new condo you just bought knowing every night costs you another $1000<BR/><BR/>Math: Buy at top at $600,000. Losing 1% a month minimum or $6,000 / 30 = $200. Cost of owning is $5,000, or $3,000 above rent value (thus loss) of $100 per night.<BR/><BR/>So each night, losing $300. <BR/><BR/>Ouch. Could stay at the W for that, with room service!bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585266242070350399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1132610188691044432005-11-21T21:56:00.000+00:002005-11-21T21:56:00.000+00:00I've got some $200 a share PETS.com and also some ...<I> I've got some $200 a share PETS.com and also some quepasa.com, some worldcom, some Cisco and some Enron</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, but I bet you are not in debt to your eyeballs while you hold those stocks.

Gee, that's such a negative term for someone that currently has a large cash position but prefers to stay out of the market.<BR/><BR/>Don't make any mistakes, when the market tumbles and prices fall, affordability will still be difficult for many. <BR/><BR/>Why? Lending standards are going to be significantly tightened. Only those currently sitting on large amounts of cash are going to be able to play the 'buy low' game.<BR/><BR/>Cash will certainly be king. Who will be doing the buying? Likely not the current cash-strapped Joe Sixpack, that is for sure.<BR/><BR/>Are these people vultures? No, hardly. Successful businesspeople and investors? Absolutely.<BR/><BR/>Grim<BR/><A HREF="http://nnjbubble.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Northern New Jersey Real Estate Bubble</A>grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13862618509466218087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1132591616689811722005-11-21T16:46:00.000+00:002005-11-21T16:46:00.000+00:00Are you sure you want to do promotion like this ? ...Are you sure you want to do <A HREF="http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/11/prweb312445.htm" REL="nofollow"><B>promotion like this</B></A> ?

Over the past 10 years those supposedly expert thinkers leading GM made stupid decisions. There is fortunately a leveling fact in the universe of truth. "Truth is independent is the sphere It is placed to act for itself" <BR/><BR/>Salaries of individuals all over USA have not increased as the price of housing. That is the truth. Consequences are coming and GM is part of those consequences<BR/><BR/>GM to Cut 30,000 Jobs, Close 9 Plants<BR/>Mon 10:28AM ET - Associated Press<BR/>General Motors Corp. will eliminate 30,000 jobs and close nine North American assembly, stamping and powertrain plants by 2008 as part of an effort to get production in line with demand and position the world's biggest automaker to start making money again after absorbing nearly $4 billion in losses so far this year.41cadillachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15088072282360210414noreply@blogger.com
