This market is looking pretty vunerable.

Yes, like a mouse in the jaws of a tiger.

I think you are really doing a superb job expressing yourself on your blog and others, Leisa.

We may be poles apart politically, but I respect your writings and the thoughts that propel them.

I did more buying this past week than fretting. I cut two positions early (EEB and FOE) and added to several, plus buying CBS. Having real estate income makes these decisions less stressful. That said, I just don't see any huge "mess" that will cause a crash. Maybe we loose 8%, more or less.I think this cleanses excess.

Sub-prime is manageable, according to several investment bankers I have spoken with recently. Any decent credit score will get a loan at a competitve rate.


Had a chance to meet Obama last week (suprised, aren't you...). Shook his hand, eyeballed him and wished him well. A very compelling individual. I think he has the Will to be President. I am curious as to how the Clinton's are going to nuke him. Any ideas? smile....

I am flying to Orlando later this week to look at a condo complex in default. Maybe make an offer. Then I am going to do something I have thought about for a while. I am going to visit Disney World and go to their Hall of Fame. My father's first cousin was Irwin Kostal, who won Academy Awards for musical arrangements and has a bust there. He gave me my first musical instrument, an accordion. Google him if you are curious.

Attended a Cleveland Orchestra concert last Friday. Great program, Tschai ROMEO AND JULIET, Falla's HAT and Tschai 1st PC.
Afterwards, my wife and I went out to Little Italy for dinner joined by two old high school classmates from Cicero who play in the Orchestra (viola and asst. prin. cello). I love these evenings.
