The Fed has injected some 200 billion dollars into the financial system since August 9 in a bid to boost credit flows which have seized up due to problems linked to the distressed US mortgage market. Can one of you Financial "insiders" explain this to us common folk?

Just curious, Who started this "WOW Priced" thang?

What are we thinking 2009 now? http://money.aol.com/news/articles/_a/housing-prices-fall-by-32-percent/20070828092809990001

Two of the last three were for prices on specific properties And one said: Start looking, I think it is getting time to buy.....

I'm reading this... http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070827/economy.html?.v=13 But Have actually had a few more people asking about real estate around here than in the last several month.....

Do you think this area will out perform this scenario ? Scroll down and see what Moody's is saying www.iht.com/articles/2007/08/26/business/26housing.php

Don't know about Ebro The Seminoles are the tribe that bought out Hard Rock http://casinogambling.about.com/b/a/256636.htm

I don't know either and Joe's Strategy has to be looked at Florida wide Not just in PCB . The question may be is Tallahassee going to look to Casino Revenue as a "solution" for more revenue . And the States hand is being forced by the Seminoles

This is what started me thinking So says the Miami Herald Floridians defeated casinos in bruising statewide votes in 1978, 1986 and 1994. But that was before poker rooms throughout the state and slot machines at Indian reservations and Broward County parimutuels made Florida what it rejected...

I see what ya mean. Public companies though do tend to halve a lot going on for awhile such as the Bay county funds school etc. before ANY offical press . Any who, Does any one else keep hearing the Casino chatter?

C A S I N O S Only thing that makes sense to me It's too big of a venture not to have information prior to this huge commitment

True enough, And not many people are trying to get Free. Nuff said.

Harder to hit a moving target Joe Taxman likes things that are nailed down and hard to move

Great idea. I understand that Mega Gazillionaire Sir Richard Branson lives in a river barge on the Thames

As a person involved (oh yeah) with real estate this looks like a pretty good deal. And might I add your photo of the surfers is way cool..

The short answer NO

On Wednesday, a Merrill Lynch & Co. analyst downgraded Countrywide to "Sell," just days after calling it a "Buy," attributing the change to the rapid deterioration of the credit market. Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group Inc. said Thursday a continued liquidity crunch for more than three months...

From The Commerce Dept. Report today Housing construction fell in all parts of the country except the Midwest which posted a 2.6 percent increase in July. Construction starts were down 11 percent in the South, 3.7 percent in the West and 1.3 percent in the Northeast. The current housing slump...

Due exclusively to the Luck O the Irish I bought early enough to weather the current storm but I am hearing horror stories from others. Just remember folks they can't throw you in prison or execute you for not paying your mortgage. The Japanese say " Fall down seven times, Get up eight times" SON

I think your right. It would be good to get some of both subjects in front of people this age and the internet also allows younger people to interact with politicians and pundits of all stripes and form opinions of their own. Many speeches are on youtube as well as debates etc. And many citizens...

I'm glad you asked . I always remember the movie with Jimmy Stewart where someone compliments him on how nice his house looks and he replies "we like to keep it in good condition for the bank" or something to that effect. A banker is like a person who lends you an umbrella when it is sunny out...

Another good point from a local sage. Although some rents are subsidized and some owners pay higher or lower rents depending on market supply and demand there is renewed interest in WHO should have the right to vote. I think 16 years olds should be allowed to vote. 16 is the new 18. And...

You are wise between your ears and beyond your years SON

This country needs more people with good ideas, Thanks for throwing something out there, SON

I HEARD THAT. Notice I did not say no one should pay taxes, also another subject. My point is on the meaning of ownership of property. What do you think it should mean. That you should pay or your heirs should pay forever for a piece of property that someone was supposed to own. As Spock would...

I beg to differ . I said you own the Right to KEEP or SELL. And you do know me a bit from this post and I think it is really renting your property from the state. And who pays how much for what services is a big subject all by itself.

well it is true that early in our country's history only Landowners could vote. But it is good for people to consider how we got were we are today from were we started. Landowners could perhaps be called stakeholders in todays lingo. Would someone who does not own stock in a company be allowed...

Most folks have a Mortgage on their property so..... Even if the house is mostly paid for the BANK can still take ownership through foreclosure if the owner fails to pay the mortgage payments. OK SON, so what if my property is paid for with no outstanding home equity loans or Mortgage's ...
