Save the Electrons

[_] Excellent post
[_] Whatinthehell are you blabbering about?
[_] I agree [_] Think you are drinking the koolaid.
[_] Unfortunately you cheerypick your anecdotes
[_] The volume of data precludes usefulness going forward.
[_] Too much data not enough analysis
[_] Your conclusions are leap from what you demonstrate.
[_] The plunge protection team will save their sorry butts
[_] The greatest story never told contnies to confound the nattering nabobs of negativity.
[_] Keep up the good work
[_] crawl back under whatever rock ...

Personally I'll wait for the posted data to be revised before believing anything.

(_)Walmart greeter/Housing ATM/chinese-made crap/catch a falling knife

My personal wish is that the first two may not be used in any public discourse without the written permission of Paul Samuelson. Some variant of the last must be inserted into every fourth post on the Housing Bubble blog.

Robert, I'm not sure how else to contact you, so I thought I'd just post in one of your comments. It looks like there is much more to the Casey Serin story than we've been led to believe.

Go to this website:

http://www.erosi.saccounty.net/Inputs.asp

Put in Serin for the last name, Casey in the first name, and 2000 in the decade field, and look at the individual records. He was acting like he only had her on the one house, but he's swapped titles on houses back and forth with her a bunch of times.

Does this tell you anything? It seems significant to me but I know very little about housing. I thought about posting on Casey's blog but figured it would be moderated out.

I'd love to get your take on it, either here or on Casey's blog. Thanks.

AnonWB,
Yeah, I've been watching that bit. Same thing happened in Dallas. What he thinks he's doing is "protecting" her and her credit so that he can personally wipe out and they can carry on. He's truly both ignorant and stupid. Neither are hardly a surprise to many but I always held out the possibility that it was an act. No. Look at the misspellings. Look at the sentence structure. Low horsepower and out of gas. ignorance and stupidity in a world of easy credit is a formula for disaster. The anaology would be one of low standards for drivers' lisciences and not requiring insurance. In this case he thinks getting her off the title is enough. It isn't. The bank has them as HWJT, husband & wife joint tenants. Maybe she can avoid the property tax garnishments next Tuesday (Dec 12th, 2006) but the lenders don't care who is on the title.

It gets worse. He who shall not be named doesn't understand property tax and PMI and such. He thinks he's "prepayed" some of this. Well yes, IF he had kept up with impound account payments.

Thanks for the heads up but I was teling the truth. I really don't care enough to use my blog to talk about Casey.

Robert - thanks for your info. I posted it on his blog and everyone pretty much says that there is nothing weird going on. I'll stop mentioning him here.

Hope you go back on Ben's blog at some point. Miss your posts.

Ben is sorry to say boring. Summary/digests used to be fine when they were few and far between. The quality of the posts is also waay down if only by dint of volume. I occassionally make comments but they are lost in the crowd. One purpose of this blog is to have extended causual conversations that are allowed to mature rather than hit-n-run and then move on.

Believe me, your posts are some of the few pearls on that blog that I and many others enjoy. You'll even see a few posts congratulating you, Sputnik and others. I agree that the static/background noise has gotten bad.

A shame you couldn't call into the podcast. If you choose to listen, I highly recommend skipping to the last 20 minutes or so. Good questions, and he openly admits to committing fraud.
