With the popularity of the ARMs & HEQs over the last 3-5 years, there is going to be a real estate “liquidation” in the near term. People got too careless and absorbed in the post 9/11 rate environment. People financining more more home then they could afford @ adjustable & variable rates. Not too mention the morons that signed up for an interest only mortgage with the _intent_ to pay the thing ASAP. In other words, it will be a HUGE buyers market very soon. Over the next 18-36 months, 3/2s 5/1s and the like start adjusting, People are going to HAVE to sell off their precious ATM to avoid FORECLOSURE. Those that can’t sell quickly enough are only going to fall further behind, a couple more months and the house is a Bank Owned Sale (foreclosure / auction). Start saving Your pennies NYSpeed. ---

> [@RedGoober4Life](#): > > Ah. > > So predictable. > > Ah. > > So stupid. Yes, indeed you are. Suppose this SUV is driven 300 miles a week. (Slightly higher than national average.) I’ll even concede your 15MPG figure, although it is likely higher. That means that she would burn 20 gallons of gas per week, as opposed to a POS compact that gets 30MPG, that would burn 10. At $3 a gallon, that’s $30 a week, or $1560 extra cost a year. Iran produces 10.2% of the world’s oil. That means $159.20 worth of gas comes from iranian oil. Subtract out costs for refining, wholesale, retail, and you’re at between $50 and $100 extra, PER YEAR, that Iran theoretically gets. God forbid they use that money to fight our allies, considering we only spend between 1 and 2 BILLION times that per year fighting in iraq. Thank you, come again. But word to Nikuk. I’d get into short term bonds for the moment, followed by real estate, because everyone with a variable rate mortgage is getting squeezed, and some of them are going to pop ---

Okay, so if we’re going to pretend to be smart here… 71,460 Tahoes have been sold through May. If you project that for the rest of 2006 and multiply it by $75 (our make believe number of dollars which we’ll say Iran is making per year off of a Tahoe buyer–which may or may not be close to actuality) by golly you get close to 12.9 million dollars. Now I wonder how much money those Russian missiles they like to buy are a piece. 🙂 Think globally? ---

Just think about how much money they make off semi trucks per year filling up with massive amounts of diesel, should we stop using those too? Not to mention, the majority of iranian oil is produced by private companies. Who keep a majority of the profits. It’s not like they’re just dropping 13 mil in the hands of Hamas. Also, in the grand scheme of things, 13 mil aint shit. They spent a billion dollars on missile defense systems at the start of this year.
