there appear to be a lot of distressed sellers near me.., the streets are full of signs... I think this is only the start.. i think before long we will be like the USA, as this crunch is very different from last time, plus USA recession looks more like depression..

Wow, the banks track the debtors, knowing everything about them, only telling them about the debt once they've bought a new house. OUTRAGOUS!!!!!!!! Just shows how banks really think. Everybody should listen to this. Particularly the last quarter of it.

Just goes to show how shady and evil banks really can be.

There is a book called "The Grip of Death" which describes just how evil mortgages and other debt instruments are, and how over reliant the whole finance industry is on long time debt payments, it is a truly shocking read:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Grip-Death-Slavery-Destructive-Economics/dp/1897766408/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206927564&sr=1-1
We are in this mess because governments etc. used Socialist (fantasy) economics, to hide their greed and waste, when they should have used Austrian Economics and lived within their means.
The global finance industry urgently needs a restructuring revolution to massively reduce fractional lending ratios, this will probably require very deep and painful deflation. If this deflation is not allowed to occur quickly then the pain will be spread over many years and cause much more damage!
