Thanks Dan. Could you change it back to CHINA? I guess the symbol was just temporary due to a reverse split. HRCTE needs to be changed back to HRCT also.
Thanks.
Well..... Without a healthy housing market, these people will have a hard time paying off debt.
The short list........
Contractors, architects, designers, lumbermen, surveyors, excavators, concrete workers, framers, electricians, plumbers, window installers, insulation people, siders, roofers, masons, drywallers, painters, flooring people, landscapers, cabinet makers, door and millwork people, finishers, furniture people, appliance folks, realtors...... And then you've got the people employed to help fill the homes with everything from buttwipe to big screen TV's.....
It would be interesting to see just how many people are employed to build a house from surveyor to the owner being settled in. 200 per home? 3, 4, 500?
Is there anyone not tied to housing in one form or another?
No doubt personal debt is a major problem. Blame it on instant gratification ingrained into the greedy, spoiled, American people.
And....... EVERYONE is not over extended. There are a few of us that knew better..... :~)

They should be able to reverse engineer these convoluted derivative contracts and find out where/how they originated.
Start hanging the greedy A-Holes all the way down the chain on grounds of treason.
A daily public hanging in Times Square sounds appropriate.....
I still think they need to break this monster up. Cut out the cancer and be done with it.
We should be able to look forward to high interest rates on savings, CD's, And money market accounts when they try to slow it down. :~) Isn't that what happened in the late 70's, early 80's?
Time to run for the hills?
Gain/Loss Since Purchase +1.13%
Haven't heard much on the commercial defaults lately. Many months ago it was pegged to absolutely dwarf the housing crisis.
I know there's a lot of warehouses around here that are gradually emptying out. Massive new ones that are sitting idle also.
I don't know, tapping on the brakes a few times wouldn't have hurt my feelings.
I was overworked for years. Very, very few days off.
On one hand this catastrophe helped me create a fairly decent nest egg.... But now... On the other.... Who the hell knows...
What's your prediction for the future?
Need a post here. Up nicely. Dividend soon?

Greenspan Warns of Housing Bubble.
The Fed chief perceives extreme overpricing in many local markets, but not nationwide.
By Annette Haddad
Times Staff Writer
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Friday that some regional housing markets were showing signs of unsustainable speculation and "froth" and that there were "a lot" of local housing bubbles. The comments were Greenspan's most detailed description yet of risks in the booming real estate market, and reflected the Fed's growing concern about the need to tighten mortgage lending standards.

I guess the question is....... Why wasn't anything done about it?
Thanks. Looks like he damn near nailed the peak. I was too busy helping fill the excessive homes with cabinets to pay close attention.
However.... I did repeat over and over and over to just about everybody that this can't last forever, better be banking some cash.
Had no idea the extreme extent of the situation though.
Feeling the pain now......
Just happened to come across this board. Good call.... 5 years ago!
It would be interesting to see this chart from the I-Box updated....

Loss since purchase is all my stocks bought over the past dozen years or so.
I'd have to sell the good with the bad to come out unscathed.
Gonna be a nightmare to figure out since I bought many, multiple times, at different prices. And then the gained shares through DRIP's.....
The Feds are expected to announce the printing presses (Quantitative easing) are up and running again Nov. 3rd.
Which is supposedly whats shoring up the market for the time being.
If they choose not to...... It's gonna be a bloody mess...
Greensperm knew of the shady mortgage dealings years before the general public was informed and did nothing about it. Gone now, but the damage is done.
There's been just too many criminals running this country......
And.... I just had to go thru favorites to get back here.
The "The Question and Answer Board (IHUB)" link above was inactive.
Glitch?.... Click on the recent news icon in favorites and it logs you out.
Gain/Loss Since Purchase -0.25%.
Not counting non reinvested dividends and a roughly $5,000 gain from the sale of PEIX earlier this year.....
Goddamn decisions..... Decisions...... :~(
Top forecaster was right about housing.
In early 2005, DeKaser found that 53 metro areas, accounting for 31% of the U.S. housing stock, were severely overvalued by 30% or more and faced a high risk of price correction. The year before, cities that were overvalued had accounted for just 1% of the total value of the nation’s housing stock. By mid-2006, DeKaser’s research showed severe overvaluation in 79 cities, or 40% of the housing stock.
At the time, when Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was pooh-poohing the very idea of a bubble and saying it was “difficult to ascertain” if housing was overvalued, DeKaser was warning of “adverse implications” from the bubble, including a sharp drop in household wealth, elevated losses at lenders, tighter credit conditions, and a decline in economic activity such as consumer spending and home building.

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan would later explain to CBS’ 60 Minutes: “While I was aware a lot of these practices were going on, I had no notion of how significant they had become until very late. I didn’t really get it until very late in 2005 and 2006.” The Fed took no action even when it became aware of the problems, he said, because “it’s very difficult for banking regulators to deal with that.”
Wow....

Quarterly dividend. 4 x 1.40 = 5.60 per year.
Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend.
Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend.
Record date: the day when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date.
Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date.
http://stockerblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/dividend-basics-and-whos-going-ex-in.html
You don't know until they announce the quarterly dividend. Usually a week or to before the ex-date. The last one was Sept. 24th. The next one is the end of December. You have to own the stock prior to the ex-date to receive the divvy.
