		<description>Let get it straight, everything that is being done, like people who won prizes from game shows or anything, to being the lucky winner of prizes... Everyone should know that, this is when TAXES owns you and your life, either way, they found a way to get back at you and they will always have the right of way... They can put you in jail if they want too.  To me, every prizes people won, you got stuck in there trap. Like people say, "my insurance cost more then my car", but what happen to all of the money, if you never got into an accident. It goes all to taxes and other people cars. The same goes for, first time winner, never won before, got the money, but taxes takes over. The Federal, State, and the Government will ALWAYS WIN...</description>

		<description>A Tale of Two Dirty Banks
     (Boycott J.P. Morgan Chase &#38; Bank of America)


 J.P. Morgan Chase is the dirtiest, most corrupt, not only bank, but business in America. I would call them mafia, because they are a criminal enterprise, but I do not want to offend the mafia by putting them in the same category with this scumbag bank. I guess Jamie Dimon missed his ethics class at Harvard Business School. His company’s policies are a direct reflection of his character, and he is a scumbag dirty pig. I lost everything and I can’t even get a job because J.P. Morgan Chase destroyed my credit by dragging out the short sale/foreclosure process for over a year. And to pour salt in the wound, my mortgage has PMI insurance, which means the bank doesn’t lose. I have been turned down for two jobs because of my credit and also that H.R. Bill 3149 has not passed yet………I lay in bed contemplating suicide while J.P. Morgan Chase writes out billions in employee bonus checks.
My nightmare with Jamie Pig Morgan Chase Bank………….
 After being laid off, I could no longer afford my mortgage payment. I did not want a foreclosure to occur so I tried to do the right thing and located a realtor and an attorney to work with to help facilitate a short sale. I have brought three different buyers to the lenders. These buyers were pre-approved and ready to close. Every time we got close to closing, the lenders would kill the deal. They should be on their knees, kissing my ass, thanking me for finding them even one buyer in this horrible economy and even worse real estate sector, let alone three. J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America have lied, manipulated, and jerked us around for over a year. These two scumbag, lying, dirty banks make my skin crawl and make me want to vomit my stomach contents. One bank representative even told me that “They were going to ruin my credit and destroy my life for putting them in this position.” I put them in this position????? I had an 804 FICO Score before I was laid off. I had a 30 year low rate fixed mortgage. I did everything right. These criminals, who should be in prison for their fraudulent activities, now get 7$$$$$$$$ figure bonuses as rewards. Not to forget, these criminals had their hat-in-hand begging the government for a handout of billions of yours and mine tax dollars. Let’s have a brief history listen. The bulge bracket firms on Wall Street are the DIRECT CAUSE of the great recession. They are the ones who bought the crap sub-prime loans, replenished the coffers of fly by night lenders, sliced and diced them, re-named and re-packaged them as Mortgage Backed Securities, coerced and blackmailed the ratings agencies to give them triple AAA credit ratings, and then sold these garbage investment vehicles around the world knowing full well the whole time this was a scam. These banks perpetrated the largest fraud known to mankind. They systemically brought down not only the U.S. economy but also the global economy. Countries such as Iceland have collapsed because they believed the lies that the thieves on Wall Street fed them and over levered themselves to buy RMBS investments. And now that the real estate bubble has collapsed, and these thieves cannot milk anymore revenue from the RMBS fraud, they are trying to create revenue on the backside by destroying the middle class and people’s lives, including mine. I have lost everything. I am three months from being homeless and living in my truck. I don’t have a ten million dollar mansion like Richard Fuld (Former Lehman Brothers CEO) to go home to, hundreds of millions of dollars in savings, or a private jet to fly me home to my estate in Chicago from NYC , every weekend, like Jamie Dimon. The only way an individual can let their anger known is by exercising freedom of choice. BOYCOTT these scumbag criminal organizations masquerading as banks and take your business elsewhere. They are a disgrace to America.</description>

		<title>Comment on How Has YOUR 401k Performed With Regards To Year-To-Date Earnings (Or Losses) In 2008? by Andrew Renew</title>

		<description>Last year, before Sept/Oct I was around 40-50% positive rate of return, then after the huge drop, i finished the year around 25%
but
Now this year, from 1/1/09 to 7/29/09 im sitting at +69.6% rate of return as of today.  I do work my 401k weekly(if not daily) and pay attention to it most than others.  I am also very aggressive and move funds around alot. According to 401k calculators on the net, if i can hold 70% a year, ill have 20mil by the time im 40 years old(only 26 now)...Granted it can be higher if i make more than 70% a year.  My goal is to achieve 100% positve rate of return by the end of the year to see if I can do it.  

Alot of people handle there 401k different I do.  If I can focus on my 401k and retire 20 years ahead of schedule, even after being taxed the hell and back, i plan on doing it and living much happier when im 40ish than I am now.  With my last 2 year rate of returns, ive been told by co-workers i should change professions.  Working for Best Buy in the Geek Squad field is at least paying the bills now.</description>

		<description>Fortunately many of the foreclosed homes are selling. In some areas the unfinished sub divisions have been bull dozed. I think we will eventurally get through the foreclosures. Soon as the last 5 years inventory has turned.</description>

		<description>To follow up again, they have been selling many foreclosed homes all over the county this spring. I don' t know what the current inventory is but some measures are that the foreclosures are declining somewhat. Many feel it is moving over to commercial property next.</description>

		<description>It's amazing how economies revert to the mean over time.  

My wife and I moved to AZ 2 years ago.  We rented a house in North Scottsdale for $1350 per month, and (smaller)homes in this neighborhood were selling for $375k at the time.  A mortgage payment @ 6% would have been $2100+ taxes+ HOA.  (around $2300 all in)  

Now, two years later, some of these homes have been sold for well below $200k 

Rents are about the same as they were two years ago.  

The wild card in all of these transactions was the "creative" mortgages that allowed the "owner" to pay $1000 a month on a $400k debt - for a while.    Those are the homes that were rented at seemingly crazy low prices.  They're the same homes being sold as foreclosures right now.</description>

		<description>Hello, 
Looking at my son's home, I concluded:DR Horton built homes which do not meet building standards. The ARM mortage was a financial trap. 

Just my opinion.</description>

		<description>If the fed keeps putting money into new mortgage paper with Fannies and Freddie, the money will eventually hit the market. So far it is only hitting in the conforming mortgages. I wrote about 10 weeks ago for the fed to borrow on long term treasury’s and put the money directly into new mortgages at low rates to get the market going. I also said they should provide investor financing to get the foreclosed homes bought and rented. Investor will bring a lot of capital to the market. All buyers must qualify under normal standards.
My investigation also finds the heavily hit markets are reacting to the lower prices and lower rates and volume is picking up nicely.

The banks can not get the money directly, they won’t lend or at least not at the rate and quantity we need. When a purchaser gets a mortgage, buys a property, the old mortgage gets paid off to the bank. The bank receives the money and the mortgage is retired. If the bank’s reserves we short to retire the mortgage that is another issue for their solvency.</description>
