Financial turmoil

Will the recent news regarding Lehman Brothers filing bankruptcy and AIG looming in the face of bankructpcy not drive the housing market even further. There may be even more to come.

over building & crazy mtg rates & practices

It would seem to me that any sensible person would know that

building these thousands of houses, selling them to people that

were not financially able to finance them in convential financial methods could lead to nothing but what we are seeing.

Were the financial people not smart enough to realize that if

people could not afford that overpriced house this year, how

were they going to suddenly become able to in a few years (3-5).

Complete nonsense, that is what has led to this mess. There

has got to be more federal rules made for home buying. People

are trying to live above their means, and you can't pay out

more than you make and pie in the sky optimism won't work.

Lehman Loans?

I've got a home loan with Lehman, EXTREMELY jumbo, and I'm scrounging to short sell because the house burned in a wildfire and the land value is +1 million less than the note I owe Lehman.

Anybody know what happens to homeowners in struggles now? Already, for the last 9 months, I've not gotten anyone on the phone at Lehman despite 20+ calls all over the country and 14 letters begging for direction.

There's GOT to be someone somewhere who knows what happens next!

lives back together with gas and food rasing children

Thanks Dr, Hill

Except I dont see how a WORLD RULE makes a difference since one country rule cant create wealth and operate an economy, judging from the communistic collapses, and even the US meltdown. Arent we really more likey to do better with individually run economies that actually hedge one against the other.

Also , as an American, itll be a cold day in hell before some foreign son of a bitch tells me what to do. Youll pry my hand of my gun before world orderm, especially some euro twit.

all the love boys,
