The ARMs will kill them. The number of
foreclosures is going up at a rapid pace.

IRA, Not CA talking MN here but:
A number of
interesting articles in the "Homes Section" of local paper today and
yesterday in Minneapolis on housing.
1. First, did it make sense to buy
a condo (incredible number of them have been going up here for
years). My understanding that is the first real estate sector to get
hurt?
2. An article on how "contingent buy offers" are now being
accepted, whereas they would not even be considered before.
3.
Another article stating there are six homes going up for sale for every one
being sold. This trend has been on the rise since around
mid-2005.
My concern has been for some time and continues to be the
number of people who financed a purchase with 3, 4 or 5 year ARM's at the
then "artificially low rates", which are about to rise to a higher level as
the period ends. Don Ewers ----- Original Message ----- From:

It is interesting that everyone
seems concerned as to whether the market is going up or down. Is it
the end of the bull and the start of the bear. Who really
cares? Just trade it. that is what traders do. What are
the fundamentals?
We are about to enter the down side of the 4 year
cycle with lows in 94, 98, 02 and therefore we should see one at the end of
06 or the start of 07 if the economic cycle continues to hold true.
As to no inflation. The average home price in my area for January and
February has been $1.1million. Of course the same house in Texas
probably runs about $350,000. Health care, insurance, etc.are going
up at a real inflationary rate. Everyone looks to the governments
figures for inflation not realizing that they change the components at
will. They say inflation is steady and yet the cost of living keeps
rising.
Remember, it is not what is actually happening that makes the
markets move. It is the perception of what should happen that causes the
price action. I don't think anyone has the time to read all the
reports. Research all the papers written or read all of the opinions
of various gurus and prognosticators and still have time to trade.
The answer is the same as in any simple crime drama. Follow the
money. That is basically what technical analysis does.
I have
nothing that says lower right now, but I do have a major high target of
over 15,000 with some major resistance just below the previous high
of 11,000+. Will it get to 15,000+ or will it stop at 11,360? I
really don't care. If the chart says buy that is what you should do
and if the price says sell then do that. Many times the charts tell
you to get out and do nothing, but very few people ever listen to that
scenario.
Just one man's opinion. Ira.

Why do so many
people on RT think we are due for a long term down turn? I
know it has to be at least one technical reason but what fundamental
reason is there to believe that? The blue chips have
an average PE of 15 .. earnings are still growing at a healthy rate
and we have little inflation. The country is fully employed
and oil has at least stabilized. Do we put our money
on some chart marks or bollinger bands or elliot waves or on
facts? My take on the equity markets are that they will
continue to climb hesitantly up the "wall of worry" with
slips and stumbles along the way but belief in a long term down trend
will have to show up on my "facts of the economy" list
before I can join that camp.
