FLASH - Right on schedule, panic and the run on the banks has now commenced. No surprises for HP'ers, shock and awe for everyone elseEven I'm surprised and amazed at what a Great Unwinding and Panic looks like in real life. Theory is one thing, and damn, we nailed it there, but to see it in action is, well, quite stunning. Trillions are going to be lost over the next few months.

The Daily 2¢Is the fact that Ben Bernanke and others at the Federal Reserve consistently underestimated (and continue to underestimate) the impact of the housing collapse and mortgage crisis an indication that they hold a bullish bias against the possibility of impending calamity or simply a result of being caught between a "rock and a hard plate" in terms of public statements?I, for one, think

The Daily 2¢One interesting outcome of the continued and persistent deterioration of the nation's housing and mortgage markets is the eroding of the confidence of many formally bullish "experts" and pundits.Some at this point, particularly the honest ones, have been able to express some marginal skepticism about the likeliness that the economy will be able to transcend the current housing dilemma

The first word that comes to my mind is “energizing.” There’s no way one can be in a meeting with Mr. Trump without feeling a bit of a buzz, whether it be adrenalin or something else. It’s also true that there’s no way you can leave a meeting without feeling the residue of

Failures Make Some WaryFor Nouriel Roubini, the large number of subprime mortgage borrower defaults makes a vast change in the credit market evident in the proverbial tea leaves.  Within his post, Roubini links to different articles regarding sub-markets such as commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) and collateralized debt obligations (CDO), both of which have increased danger factors as a

How to Motivate Yourself Financiallyby Donald J. Trump I once knew a guy who had terrific ideas, would talk them up at hurricane force, and then go off and putter away at something else. He would lose his momentum before he even got going. What's the point? I've met some brilliant businesspeople in my time, but some of them will never be billionaires because they never act on those

When $Millions Just Aren't Enoughby Michael Sexton “In Silicon Valley, Millionaires Who Don’t Feel Rich,” an article in Sunday’s New York Times, profiles a millionaire named Hal Steger. Mr. Steger, a marketing executive, seems to have it made. He and his wife own their $1.3 million house free and clear. They have more than $2 million in savings. Yet Mr. Steger still goes to his office

Foreclosures, Tax consequences & bankruptciesBusiness bankruptcies are up 66% nationwide from the 1Q of 2007 to 1Q of 2006.. "Part of it certainly is a rebound from changes in bankruptcy law," said Daniel North, chief economist with Euler Hermes ACI, a credit insurance company in Owings Mills, Md. The changes attempt to shift filers away from liquidation into repayment plans. "The other

Not Taking Vacationsby Donald J. Trump Many Americans are giving up traditional vacations. The reasons range from having too little time off work to not having enough money to travel. But in many cases, people just aren’t in the habit of getting away from their jobs. All this has some experts worried.

Sell to Your Decision-Makerby Don Sexton, PhD You have spent a lot of time thinking about who your customers are. Perhaps you sell educational products to young professionals with children. Or you sell moderately priced clothing to retired people on fixed incomes. Yes, you know who your customers are, and that is essential. But the wisest marketers take it one level deeper. They  sell more

The Corcoran listing claims it's 6,900 square feet but, unless there's an extension they're not telling us about, it's hard to see how it's much over 5,000 square feet. Either
