Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[brightness]

It's comical to watch CNBC, which is pimping housing today. Lets see, stock is an unsafe place to put money, therefore you kids should keep all your money in an even more leveraged asset class (the initial margin requirement for stock is 50%, the initial margin requirement for house is only 20%; even that minimal requirement can be engineered away with modern leveraged financing) with even lower turn-over rate (i.e. price determined by an even smaller per centage of total outstanding). All this while the home builders are ready to make a nasty double top in the next few days.
