Housing Losses Are A Financial Disaster

Correspondent E.M. describes the true scope of the financial disaster that is housing.

Correspondent E.M. responded to $6.5 Trillion Lost, One House at a Time with this succinct account of housing’s role in declining household wealth. E.M. is not a realtor or in a housing-related profession; his report on housing valuations in the Atlanta area is that of a knowledgeable observer and does not claim to be a complete statistical survey.

When the Fed Balance Sheet Will Hit the Fan

E.M.’s commentary is especially valuable as it examines the underlying assumption of real estate ownership in America–that it is a reliable “wealth building” investment for the average household.

Market Variant Not As Bad As It Looks

Short term cycles look to be headed for a breather. But don’t expect much downside. The 13 week cycle has an updated projection.

Reason to Stay Optimistic on Gold

The 13 week cycle up phase aborted early and the pullback has negated the base breakout. When that happens there’s usually a recovery before a second high that confirms the top.
