I have been in agreement with ...Hello fellow HPers. I have been in agreement with most of what Keith has been saying for 2 years. Not so much with his politics, but oh well can't agree on everything.<BR/><BR/>Having said that I think you are all refusing to see reality. There is a huge bailout of homes coming. That is a done deal. Foreclosures will pretty much be a thing of the past by summer. Prices will be kept artificially high forever as the govt will essentially put a floor on prices. I am not saying I agree with this plan, but it is happening whether I like it or not. <BR/><BR/>Stock market bear is over too. The bottom was in Jan. Like it or not, the fed will bail out the financial system and stocks will benefit greatly. Again I don't agree, again nobody in DC or NY gives a shit what I think.<BR/><BR/>Keith and HP was a wakeup call for many of us. He was a lone island in a sea of real estate orgy ocean. Now however he is turning to the opposite. People made money in real estate by knowing when to get out. People who are buying now, stocks and real estate will be laughing in 5 years while you all will be convinced the next crash is just around the corner.<BR/><BR/>Flame away if you want, I don't care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-88879999978526797242008-04-01T18:10:00.000+01:002008-04-01T18:10:00.000+01:00BWA HA HA HA HA HA HAWhats the matter qweefie, did...BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA<BR/><BR/>Whats the matter qweefie, did your bank puts drop 90% in value today?<BR/><BR/>DOLTS<BR/>DOPES<BR/>FOOLS<BR/><BR/>Take your pickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-86286471041295600402008-04-01T18:09:00.000+01:002008-04-01T18:09:00.000+01:00I think that Meredith Whitney recently stated that...I think that Meredith Whitney recently stated that banks (I think all of them) would have to cut their dividends and raise capital, didn't she?

I am convinced that there are 100s of billions of dollars sitting on the sidelines, as we speak, ready to buy bank equities, due to the high dividends, sometimes 2 to 3 times higher than CDs. The question is how safe are these bank dividends?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
