Party's over

nemo ?

Less lending is good.

TAKE THE MARKET ON THAT!!!!!!

I'm just glad my buyers got theirs.

Substance.

You have to have a qualified applicant for a refi....to few, and far to many.

Fake realtor data inflated sales figures (spray-painting green on the brown shoots):

over five percent is a tipping point? so some say...

anyone knows what happens if somebody's short a stock, and it does a 1:20 stock split?

Same comment as for auto sales: when you 'buy' your way to increased sales, it ain't increased sales. It is your own money slapping you back in the butt.

This is what credibility suicide looks like.

It's like watching someone who just took 15 shots of 151 and then decide to self-circumsise.

bagholder?

the ADP guy on CNBS was conflicted, his notes showed 437K v 473k, some discussion ensued about this and he said that he needed to review and 'get back' with the cheerleaders

AIG had a premarket low of $12. Now it's back to $19, but should be at $23.20 based on yesterday's close. A lot of people going to be squeezed out.

Here's an interactive chart of the refi index.

Looks like the refi boom is on the ropes.

unless they loosen the ropes, ala Angelo Dundee did pre fight in Kinshasa RE: Rumble in the Jungle

No way to win against the blogosphere.

It's like when Dan Quayle wanted to take on The Simpsons. No upside. The medium fights like water.

Sure. You would end up short 5 shares of stock for every 100 you were originally short at a price 20x higher. So if the stock were trading at $10 after the reverse split it should trade around $200.

Short 100 shares at $10 = $1000 of short exposure

After the split

Short 5 shares at $200 = $1000 of short exposure

Wouldn't that be a reverse split? (20:1, not 1:20)
