KING ARAGORN
Who are the elves who forged the ring
That Sauron would have worn?
Would they make another such
To please King Aragorn?
The elves are working even now
In suburbs dawn till night,
Lights go on and never dim,
Nor were the stars so bright
They fashion rings to bring the dark
Such is their dirty work,
Renegades who once were light
Who now in towers lurk
Orcs are elves deformed and bent
Though some devise and figure,
They can work such theorems out
With cleverness and rigor
Who would wear that mighty ring,
Such power and refrain
From sealing them inside their labs,
King Aragorn remain?

Evans-Prichard is conflating primary market (ECB, CBs) and secondary market (open market) prices and yields. That is, he assumes, firstly, eurozone private banks and central banks must --there being natural laws of profit opportunity and unmet demand-- extract a premium greater than or equal to open market bond yield from each other.
Moreover, none of these interested parties will ever "restructure" outstanding obligations either by default or "acceptable" rules of refinance or simple self-liquidating portfolio management.

Emotion trounces economics in home sales - Omaha.com
When using a “mass appraisal” approach to compare smaller areas, Shultz reported major variations in price changes across different ZIP codes, from a 49 percent depreciation since 2006 in a northeast Omaha neighborhood, to slight increases in a few areas with newer homes.
Using median sales prices to gauge change in a different way, The World-Herald's Curbwise data show that roughly a third of about 90 Douglas County neighborhoods have seen a rise in median sales prices since 2006.
Also see the real reason behind the price increase related to said blog post; In celebration of Gay Pride Month, real estate search site, Trulia.com calculated the share of households in each ZIP code that are same-sex male couples and same-sex female couples, based on the 2010 Census, combining that data with median price per foot of listed homes in each ZIP code on Trulia over the past year. “Even in the big, expensive cities, it’s possible to find a gay community without spending a fortune. And the picture looks different for gay men and women, who often cluster in very different neighborhoods even in the same metro,” said Trulia.

The Looming Costs of Eldercare - Barrons.com
The first of America's 78 million baby boomers are turning 66, which means they're eligible for full Social Security benefits. Last year, this same group began to qualify for Medicare, whose enrollment age is 65. A goodly number of boomers have been receiving reduced Social Security benefits since 2008, when the oldest turned 62. Nearly a third of all Americans turning 62 in 2010 opted for early Social Security.
In short, the future has arrived, and it doesn't look pretty.

I suspect that there are plenty of (T) party and Paul supporters who would be fine with a balanced budget amendment and a required Pay/Go budget. i.e. every budget item must have corresponding tax revenue to pay for it.
SSA/Medicare is 70% funded under that measure by payroll taxes and could be fixed by raising the cap on premiums. The military budget on the other hand is < 50% funded by income tax. It might be informative to the public to have that discussion of "how much do you want to pay for an empire class military?"

It would be interesting if that block of housing bought did end up in the rental supply.
I imagine that would affect rental pricing.

My understanding is the buyers have to keep the properties as rentals for 2 to 3 years.
My guess is many of them will be offered as lease options, but no sales (or very few) will close.
It will effect rental prices here, that's alot of house on the market all at once.
If they really are going to be doing this in other areas of the country, this will be a good guinea pig to watch.
No one knows rental pricing better than you.

Fifty-seven percent of investors say they feel they have little or no control over their efforts to build and maintain their retirement savings in the current environment. This is essentially the same as the 58% of February, but down from 65% in September 2011, just after the confrontation over the U.S. debt ceiling peaked. Thirty percent say they have quite a lot of control, and 13% say they have a great deal of control.
Investors Still Feel Powerless Over Retirement Savings
yeah, no
$900B/yr for defense is $600/mo from each paycheck in this economy.
But when you try to cut defense spending, all people can cry about is "we need those jobs!"

So you're saying there's hope for my rent to own plan then?
Its all Rent until you actually Own, and even then you still own nothing as the home could be lost due to none payment of RE taxes...so what do you actually own?

MORENO VALLEY: Jobs analysis doesn’t mesh with warehouse realities | Breaking News | PE.com - Press-Enterprise
Worth a read...
"The Skechers warehouse, which Benzeevi has held up as a model for buildings at the World Logistics Center, has not delivered on the 1,000 jobs that supporters were trumpeting as the project navigated city approval processes. A city survey in January found 600 jobs there — a rate of one job per 3,000 square feet.
Skechers also shed jobs last year, around the time its distribution operations moved from Ontario to Moreno Valley."

For an individual the math is pretty much irrelevant because the impact of your health care needs and how long you will live are unknown. When I ran the numbers it looked like it would take a LONG time for 25% less three years earlier to be less than full benefits later. Again, impossible to calculate because you have to guess at inflation/deflation, yield on investments, etc.
"More" is a very slippery concept and I decided in my pocket today is worth a serious premium over what might be available later.
FI anything with Zink in it will help the itch...also consider an Oatmeal soak.

I wouldn't jump to any quantitative conclusions.
Those who rented probably dropped a few %.
Those who owned probably dropped a huge %, for many into negative territory.
Then again, those who owned and were FC'd or sold short probably recovered much of their loss as forgiven debt.
