And for those who missed the last post here is what has to be fixed....

GO OBAMA!

How does a financial collapse happen?

This animation explains how we got here:

"Like welfare for the rich"



Intuitiveblogger: For those who have followed my blog we have begun our kondratieff-winter.
I ask again, will the next summer be green, with green energy and no more stupidity?

We all have to participate to make a difference and not leave it up to just governments. I like the one we have elected, but unfortunately this team has been left carrying a burden of years of greed (and stupidity).

Again, energy and water are going to be bigger issues than the financial disaster. This is just the tip of the iceberg, so recycle, or even better pre-cycle. This term is the new catch phrase of 2009. Instead of recycling, don't even consume it unless it is essential.

I found this from www.greendaily.com.

Precycling is trying to reduce waste by "pre-thinking" our purchases. While recycling is, of course, a positive thing, it still requires energy to transport the materials, melt them down and then re-manufacture items. Precycling tries to avoid the amount of stuff that gets chucked into landfills AND the recycling bin to begin with. Here are some tips:

• Buy in bulk, avoid individually wrapped items.
  
• Buy items that come in recyclable packaging instead of non-recyclable.
• Avoid junk mail. (You can subscribe on line to many places to have it stopped)
  
• Use a computer instead of reading "real" magazines and newspapers.
• Bring your own utensils with you instead of using plastic ones.
• Use cloth handkerchiefs and napkins.

And of course, reduce and reuse as much as you can, first!

Tide of mortgages

Please don't forget to bookmark the News and Resources page!

After checking out http://mrmortgage.ml-implode.com I noticed there is a long way to go before introductory mortgages finish resetting. This suggests the possibility of further failed credit repayment to the banks.

To me, house prices are due to come down even further in 2009 and 2010 and if the baby boomers who are now retiring decide to cash out of their real estate investments in the next 5 to 10 years, this will further depreciated the value of homes.
