  3. Home sales continue spiral down Realtors say sales of existing homes drop for sixth consecutive month, to lowest level in 5 years; separate report shows steepest price drop in 16 years. By Les Christie, CNNMoney.com September 25 2007: 11:20 AM EDT NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Housing markets continued to slump across the nation in August as the number of existing homes sold dropped for the sixth straight month, according to the latest report from the National Association of Realtors. Sales fell 4.3 percent from July to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 5.50 million. Sales have fallen 12.8 percent since last August's pace of 6.31 million homes. Lawrence Yun, senior economist for NAR, blamed the current credit crunch. "The unusual disruptions in the mortgage market, including a significant rise in jumbo loan rates, resulted in a fairly high number of postponed or cancelled sales, with many buyers having to search for other financing when loan commitments fell through," he said in a statement. The slump pushed up the inventory glut to 4.58 million existing homes, an all-time high. There is now a 10-month supply of homes on the market at the present rate of sales. This credit crunch just won't go away !!
  4. I look after several patients addicted to "Credit Crunch" and all the major supermarkets are sold out. What else can I feed them on ?
  5. Not this month. KEEP BRUNO OFF THE MOON !!!!!
  6. The Far Left has not gone away - it is evermore present in New Labour which is saturated and riddled with anglophobia, anti-white racism, political correctness, social engineering, positive discrimination that are all traits of far left politics of hatred of the white Englishman/woman. New Labour is exactly what the far left wanted, a new home to hide themselves and pretending to be right wing and captalist which they are not. New Labour has done more damage to the UK than Wilson or Callaghan because they delivered the divisive and discriminatory devolution policies, human rights trash that Old Labour only talked about. New Labour = New Stalinism = mass murder and mass genocide. Kier Hardy must be spinning with joy at a frequency of 200MHz in his grave. There has to be an alternative !!
  7. Some months ago the "support level" for the Dow Jones was 11,700 points. It is likely this will be breached shortly and when the Dow enters freefall this will affect the FTSE and the "credit crunch" will be in full swing. What do we now??????
  8. A tad O/T but does anyone remember the band our Prime Minister used to play in called "Ugly Rumours" A band by the same name are set to hit the charts next week with a track called "War" ,interesting to see if Tony starts issuing writs. Just can't keep the PM out of the limelight

  11. UK interest rates are expected to be kept on hold at 5% following the latest meeting of the Bank of England Sorted.......BUT NEXT MONTH!!!!!
  12. The FTSE & Dow Jones to fall today ? YES YES YES
  13. Scary news indeed KPMG said that a person entering into an IVA on average owed £52,000 and was proposing to repay 39% of the outstanding debt. It also estimated that about 3,000 people went into an IVA this year with debts of more than £100,000, while some consumers as young as 21 were running up debts of more than three times their annual incomes. "Typically the sorts of debts we have seen being dealt with by IVAs in 2006 are personal loans, credit card balances and other forms of 'buy now, pay later' unsecured loans," said Steve Treharne of KPMG. "Most of the money is borrowed to meet current expenditure - including lifestyle items such as holidays - rather than to acquire assets or to fund a business," he added. "Too many people have debts that they have no realistic hope of repaying."
  14. If Scotland become independent would it adopt the euro at the prevailing rate, remain in currency union with the rest of the UK, or create a Socttish pound
  15. House prices are traditionally seen as a feel-good factor. However, I think we are now way past that stage. Soon there will be more people feeling bad because they can’t afford a house that there are feeling good that they bought when they did. I would suggest that if house prices do go belly up the country as a whole won’t feel much the worse for it. Obviously some large landlords will feel a lot worse; conversely, the 20-35 age bracket will feel a whole lot better. Although I suppose you can do what you like to the young as they don’t vote anyway. Anyway, I can’t see house prices going belly-up that quickly. If there is a correction (please) then in the current climate it’ll be a long, drawn-out affair rather than a sudden drop. Apparently it’s already started in the USA, particularly in California.
  16. My dear chap, Penbat, Who mentioned anything about a crash? Not me guv. A daily fall of 1% in the FTSE from now until Xmas will do nicely thanks !! You are most welcome to join the BEARS and start to get a life
  17. This morning the FTSE started off in positive territory and now the red pens are out !! TIME TO GO SHORT METHINKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. My information, and I believe it to be rock solid, is that Gordon warned Tony there’d be trouble on this issue. Whether that was a warning or a threat of trouble I have no idea. If your source is correct then we are into the Nixonian question about when he knew and what he did about it. If he were found to have allowed the offers of peerages to go ahead when he thought they were illegal he is an accessory , isn’t he. If he were found to have allowed the party accounts to be signed off in the knowledge of something dodgy that made the accounts misrepresent the true financial position then that surely would be very serious too.
  19. Ah yes Realistbear ! A legend in his own lunchtime. Keep on posting
  20. This may or may not be relevant to this thread. Please excuse me I am rather wobbly after a liquid lunch. Based on some analysis by revolts.co.uk in one of their briefing papers, I don’t think there’ll be any need to get excited tonight. See http://www.revolts.co.uk/Iraq%20Opposition...20rebellion.pdf
  21. How many more? UK landlords mark buy-to-let tenth anniversary Landlords and lenders in Britain are celebrating the tenth anniversary of buy-to-let. Landlords and lenders in Britain are celebrating the tenth anniversary of buy-to-let. A new guide, published by the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) and the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) examines the first decade of the popular housing market innovation and provides investor landlords with vital information. The 2007 Buy to Let Guide features data about developments in mortgages, profiles of property portfolios, new legislation, insurance and tax rules and is available from all ARLA member letting agents, providing landlords with a better understanding of their duties and obligations. ARLA chief executive, Adrian Turner, commented: "This is a concise but colourful explanation of the ramifications that lie behind investment in the private rented sector. It makes it clear that Buy to Let is an investment opportunity provided the requirements of today's consumer society and modern legislation are taken into account." The UK has an estimated 750,000 buy-to-let properties that are home to more than one million families. A recent study by lender Paragon Mortgages predicted that landlord portfolios will increase by 3.4 per cent over the next year, with yields increasing by more than six per cent. ARLA is credited with coining the term 'buy-to-let' in 1996 and the market has grown rapidly in the past decade, with the average buy-to-let investor currently owning 11.8 properties worth around £1.54 million. © Houseladder Ltd
  22. Tough on the causes of crime,you're having a laugh !!!! A man has been jailed after breaking wind in Blackpool. Joseph Wildy was led to the cells after farting in the town's magistrates court. He had been told to apologise after being heard laughing with his co-defendants about his flatulence. But he refused and was jailed for contempt of court. He returned to court 90 minutes later and said sorry to Magistrate Simon Bridge. A court spokeswoman stressed it was the laughter, not the bodily function, that led to Wildy being put behind bars. "He was laughing in court, that's why he was found in contempt," the spokesman said. "It was for interrupting the proceedings by laughing, and then refusing to apologise." Wildy, from Blackpool, pleaded not guilty to handling stolen goods and was bailed to reappear at a later date.
