Good example of the slowest recession recovery since WWII.

Reminds me of the other day when I took off from a small airport with trees on both ends of the runway. I had picked up a passenger, it was a hot day, yadda-yadda. I got off the runway and over the trees, but she was BARELY climbing. I was gaining altitude and was safe, but would have felt more confident if I were gaining altitude at a better rate.

That's how our economy is doing. A FEW indicators are showing promise, but we are still with a significant net job loss and HUGE amount of extra debt. We will be skimming along the top of those trees gaining hardly any altitude until such time we get B.O.'s hands to release the choke hold that his socialism has around our necks.

Good that the recovery is slow. And happy that the foreclosure machine to kick bums out of their unpaid homes is grinding into action again after two years. Should be a good year for me. CHEERS!

Zero sympathy for people who bought for an annual payment of 1.5x what the same property would rent for, at the height of the Bubble. Stupid is as stupid does.

Or it could be for the same reason as spdrun says. I put a couple of bids in on houses that sold for 115-125k in 2007(when they were built). Looks like I can get the pair for less than $50k.

Slum lord here I come.

Ps both are already rented at $550 a month.

Just pragmatic. If I can live off the stupid's mistakes and provide for myself and family without being anyone's b*tch, then so be it. I couldn't give two turds about your opinion of my "attitude." Maybe if you were my boss or my gf, I'd actually care. Till then, see you at the REO auction...

I'm guessing he doesn't even own his own place, let alone rentals.

Hmm, if this is such a strong indicator of a growing economy, I wonder why it was in the news yesterday that we will HAVE to have another stimulus package or we will slip into a recession. More accurately, to hear the MSM people say it, if we don't get another stimulus package we will all die immediately.

I think it shows that despite the devastation brought about the Bush administration's negligence, that the economy is slowly recovering and the worst is probably behind us. Amazing how long it is taking to repair the damage the Republican administration did. It speaks to their skills.

Plus a recovering economy will support the Democratic ticket, across the nation.

Yeah.

Despite some people trying to make an unpolitical market, political....

Anyway certain areas seem to be improving. The economy is improving and has been for awhile now, it will be a few more years but things are moving in the right direction.

A&R, watch that altitude density!

You mean Density Altitude(DA)? No problem, the triple digit heat is pretty much over with. Of course, the real DA problem will be November 3.
