Some is crap. Some is comedic gold like John Lockwood the Sacramento Realtor/Bhudist/Optimist. Some moves too slow to maintain my interest. The list always changes but have fun.

You forgot Zillow Book! Jaqui is disappointed.; 2:41 PM
Rob Dawg said...: Jaqui just rolled over and slapped my bare bottom she was so upset. Consider me well spanked.; 2:43 PM
Lou Minatti said...: Thanks for the link, Rob. How's Sacramento, Casey?; 5:25 PM
Bilgeman said...: Rob:

I highly recommend:

The Smallest Minority

(The Thinking Man's Gun Nut, when a fellow with an assault rifle philosophizes, it's best to listen to what he has to say.).

and:

The Hatemonger's Quarterly

("Hate" with a mastery of sentence structure...imagine Theodore Dalrymple with a mean streak.); 5:35 PM

Lou Minatti said...: I like

http://www.housingbubblebust.com/

He's compiled stats and charts going back to the mid-1970s.; 6:08 PM

no HP?

Nope. Too much autopilot and the comments are too much "me too" and the commenters don't even read the other comments.; 6:19 PM
Jim the Realtor said...: Rob, thanks for the mention!

I think you have the right mix of Caseycrap right now - just enough tidbits so we don't have to listen to his drivel.

The only thing I'm really interested in hearing about is when the DA files charges.; 6:21 PM
Bakersfield Bubble said...: Thanks for the link!; 6:46 PM
Bakersfield Bubble said...: Do you go into the forums at ML Implode? Great for kicking brokers when they are down. :); 6:49 PM
Bakersfield Bubble said...: No Ben Jones? I know you don't post, but you dont even visit anymore - you are one of the "old timers"?; 6:52 PM
Rob Dawg said...: I do go to ML-Implode but don't have anything to say.

As to Ben's, It feels too much like being in the cheering section at a ball game. No one can hear you or cares. Yes, I was some small part of his initial success but it took on a life of its own. I also go over to Patrick's every once in a while but our styles clash. No big deal.; 7:00 PM
The_Scum said...: No www.billcara.com?

Where's Mish?

Where's Russ Winter?

Where's NFL.com??

Where's www.bigtittedteenagecatholicgirlswithtongueslikecowsthatmakeyousaywowinfishnets.com?

Inquiring minds want to know.; 8:01 PM
Akubi said...: @The_Scum,
Yeah, where is "Where's www.bigtittedteenagecatholicgirlswithtongueslikecowsthatmakeyousaywowinfishnets.com"? Sounds like something I could "monetize" or at least have fun with...; 9:47 PM
Akubi said...: BTW, I happened to receive the following auto-message from a local RE site today:

This is to inform you that your agent, X will no longer be providing you access to Z. This is because you either:
1) Purchased a home,
2) Are no longer in the market,
3) Are not actively using Z, or
4) Your agent no longer subscribes to Z.

If you have purchased a home, Congratulations!

If you believe there has been an error, please contact your Agent or email us at Z BS dot COM
Thank you for using - The Inside Source for Local Real Estate.

Sincerely,

The BS Team

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL, THE INTENDED RECIPIENT WILL NOT RECEIVE IT.; 10:04 PM
The_Scum said...: I'm glad you can appreciate the "sweet organic" drawing power of that url Akubi. I have certanly enjoyed your fishnet site posts.; 10:35 PM

FlyingMonkeyWarrior said...: @ DAWG,

Yea, it (HP) has changed a lot. It was a lot like your site when it was new.

Anyway, I have posted first then read the thread in its entirety before.
te he

And, I really enjoy Market Ticker, and I am not a trader or a market maker. He has a nice video posted under the bull-meat thread.

Enjoy your Friday.
Pece out.; 4:02 AM
Lou Minatti said...: "Joshua Tree." "Got Popcorn?"

They were funny the first few hundred times.; 5:30 AM
Peripheral Visionary said...: CalculatedRisk is probably the banner bearer for the "Housing Bubble" at this point. The quality of posts by both CR and Tanta are excellent, and there are some fairly intelligent people in the audience as well (presently company included, as well as bacondreamz, whose posts I always enjoy).

While we're shamelessly link-spamming, another favorite of mine is:

The Prudent Bear

"The Bear's Lair" column by Martin Hutchinson, and the "Credit Bubble Bulletin" by Doug Noland are always top-notch, very firmly grounded in facts rather than hype, and very insightful analysis.

Among other professional commentators, I also enjoy hearing from Herb Greenberg (probably the most prominent of market bears), as well as Bill Fleckenstein and Mike Shedlock. If you think the finance industry produces nothing but market cheerleaders like Cramer and Kudlow, you aren't reading broadly enough.; 6:35 AM
Peripheral Visionary said...: With respect to The Housing Bubble Blog, you all are absolutely right, the comments have gone beyond schadenfreude and are now simply asinine.

I still appreciate, however, that Ben goes to the effort to collect news articles from across the U.S. and tries to assemble them into a "story" based on regions. It lets me track what's happening in the various areas, especially back home in the West. Also, Ben has a certain amount of credibility in being one of the early movers in the world of "Housing Bubble" blogs.; 6:58 AM
Logic News said...: Yes, good information on the mortgage rules, I like other portals as well like 99acres, magic bricks,
pune property top builders in pune and housing.; 6:42 AM
