A: Its been a while since I took a step back and did a general though piece on one market in general. So, I would like to discuss some thoughts on the national housing markets and where I think we are in the cycle and what the future may look like.

A: Interesting tag for it, but I am not sure I agree with it. While $80Bln is no small sum of money, it pales in comparison to the total credit losses taken since the start of this crisis; a total that is nearing $2 trillion. Yes, it was that much. Besides, already it seems that the UAE Central ...

A: At least its heading in the right direction! Another 10%-15% reduction will bring it closer to where it probably should have started out, around 7.495M - $7.95M or so. I still have my bets on between $6M - $6.5M for a final sale price though. If there really is no board review as I have ...
