You and your bullish ways...tsk tsk!

1 in 4 borrowers underwater - does that mean 3 out of 4 have made a profit or not lost money?

Why don't you try reading the article and find out, petrtits?

its hilarious to me that you guys think that it bothers me when you tools change my screen name......it just shows how clueless you tools are....

Yes, it's hilarious to us as well when you refuse to meaningfully engage with any data or analysis presented and then have the nerve to call US "clueless tools."

"does that mean 3 out of 4 have made a profit or not lost money?"

No. It means that their homes are worth more than their debt - likely excluding transaction costs.

However, a 25% loan loss ratio would bring ANY bank down. Even mighty Goldman.

so evnyc your contribution of "data" and "analysis" consists of copying and pasting links without any context or analysis? And when someone asks you about said link your reply is "go read it"

Wow what a contribution you make to this board. I think that streeteasy should be renamed after you....

tool

Question, PZ: did SE contact you and tell you to stop your personal attacks? Hence "tools"?

And that's why you remain on ignore. Yes, linking from other sources is kinda how the innernetz works; I quite thought the piece needed no additional analysis from me. You unfortunately can hardly to be said to have an opinion, as you're unwilling to read the article. Off to do more interesting things than spar with you.

yes the internet works by massive amounts of people copying links and offering no context or analysis or why they are copying and pasting those links. evnyc - you really got this nailed down. You seriously go above and beyond....

Steve yes they did contact me and they apologized that their users like you are a bunch of prissy little queens that attack and attack but cant take being called names that accurately describe them.

A bit more copying :)

The Times' reading of the index:
The index rose a less-than-expected(!) 0.3 percent;
The modest recovery in home prices is beginning to falter(!);
Nine of the cities in the index fell in the month, including New York(!!!).

leom, but you personalized with some lovely exclamation points, so that's great (and positive to boot).

"you are a bunch of prissy little queens that attack and attack but cant take being called names that accurately describe them"

Oh. PZ - you're going off the deep end.

Steve your mind always goes to "deep ends"

Sorry, PZ - I don't understand.

oh i was wrong I guess you are the bottom not the top

Sorry? I don't know what you're talking about.

I think petrofrizz is actually talking the real estate market at this point ... bottoms, tops ... he's slipped into an "episode". It's so sad.

Pez boy q definite bottome on mtwthfsasun. From 5am to 2am.

I meant "talking TO the real estate market" ... goddamn teleprompter!

i don't know if he's slipped into an episode. i think of it more as a reversion to the mean.

I don't know if he's slipped into an episode either. He IS an episode as far as I know. Should have been cancelled long ago though.

about ready another unprovoked attack by you... So I will respond. You are a brainless fat pig.

unprovoked? your noxious spewing is an affront to all. your very existence as articulated by your thoughtful commentary is both provocative and an attack upon all.

respond away, you mental giant.

where's spunky?
