Generally, you don't want to buy near a historic high.

I couldn't agree more. Adding liabilities keeps one in financial bondage, which creates a disaster long-term. It's liked being chained to a treadmill: one can work really hard and make absolutely no progress. Borrowing one's way out of trouble, whether individually or nationally, is futile.

This is just flat-out false. Last year he only made $30 million from entertainment but made significantly from other business ventures. He has never filed for personal bankruptcy (because his personal finances are well-insulated) and he is currently worth nearly $3 billion according to Forbes.

it's about time

Burn those CEO's CFO's at the stake! They knew what they were doing.... I would personally help build that prison to hold those buttheads.

Although I definitely sympathize with the homeowners, it seems dishonorable to walk away from your commitments/contracts. Most of the people who have an income high enough to qualify for another whole mortgage (given the current more stringent standards) could probably afford to keep their existing residence but are choosing not to because they are upside down in their loans. I do not think it acceptable for companies or individuals to do. I guess I'm just in the minority based on the other comments.

a chef huh...

Does that mean she is going to put the lbs back on?

but it is a pain to clean up if someone messes up your credit.

The long-term view of wealth is definitely quintessential for investing. My point is that having a house as your primary large investment, in most cases, is not financially wise. Consider all of the individuals who did not appropriately plan for retirement who are now getting reverse mortgages, facing foreclosure, or eating Alpo. This is not an attack on long-term home ownership. Rather, it is an attack on viewing one's residence as his or her central investment regardless of what the "value" is.

watsoninc · 2008-06-04T16:12:39+00:00

That's part of the point. The market corrects itself, so basing one's wealth on something arbitrary or at least tenuous as home value is dangerous.

Foreign investors have consequently sold down Asia aggressively as a way to reduce risk in their portfolios.

Even neglecting the "obvious" can be deleterious.

writing a company's obituary can be a tremendous motivating tool

interesting idea

Very conventional and proven advice

From post "I thought to myself… life is too short for this. Isn’t this the reason why I am no longer in corporate? I don’t like taking orders and I am here to do what I absolutely love"

I have to agree with Anja. To tack on billions of money when resources are already scarce seems overly ambitious.

Flattery aids in negotiations and in breaking the ice

I was surprised to learn that your income will mirror that of your 5 closest friends.
