there are other indicators of our booming economy. For instance:

Personal savings is at an all time low.
Personal debt is at an all time high.
Health care costs have nearly doubled in the last 6 years.
College tuition has nearly doubled in the last 6 years.
Several bankruptcy records have been set in the last 5 yrs

Yes, it sure looks like that record DOW is an excellent indication of how the economy is for the average American...... detect any sarcasm???

Yes, it is.

Interest rates have risen in the past year or so, causing homeowners who have Adjustable Rate Mortgages to see their payments increase dramatically. They can't afford the new, higher payments, and struggle along until a hardship occurs and they fall behind.

And the higher cost of lending (higher interest rates) has caused property values to drop, which makes many homeowners find out they're upside down in the mortgage, owing more on the loan than the home is worth. This makes selling the property to stop foreclosure more difficult, and necessitates a short sale process.

Also, banks are tightening up their lending policies and making it harder for homeowners with bad credit to obtain new mortgages. This will make it even harder for these homeowners to refinance their way out of foreclosure. Especially since, under the new lending guidelines, the homeowners don't even qualify for the loans they are in curently.

So yes, foreclosures will continue to increase, and homeowners will have a tougher time finding any solution to stop foreclosure and prevent losing their homes.

Welcome to 2007.

the federal Reserve controls our economy, interest rates etc, they are a privately owned corp, the federal reserve was sold to the Jewish banking cartel by Pres. Woodroe Wilson who went to his death bed moaning he had sold out his country, he was tricked, there is not enough room or time to explain it on this forum , but you can do your research and find the answers, by typing in federal reserve and follow the links, but, it is a very crooked corp, for example , millions of people bought homes during the housing boom at 3to 4 % interest rate on a A,M,R, with the understanding the rates would be stable for another 5 years, but, the fed, Res, has raised the interest rate to in some cases to 12%meaning the people who had house pmts at say $1200 per month their pmts were close to $3,000 per mo, when they defaulted on their pmts they were foreclosed on, then the banking cartell has their people unknowing to the people buy these houses for less than half value and hold them until the market comes back , millions made by one little trick, there are many other ways they screw the people,
there is a oppertunity for the small investor to make a little money on these houses but, the big money is made by subs from the fed, Res,

This is an indication of the things the Bush administration don't want you to know. It's amazing out they are hiding the fact that the economy in the U.S. is shrinking. The FOMC has interest rates choking off expansion. The cost of the Bush deficit is driving up interest on treasury bills and sucking up investment capital.
I am not a liberal. I am a fiscal conservative. I can say that Bush and his new liberal fiscal policy of spend and don't tax is going to bite us in the behind very shortly.

no, its an indication that the overly greedy property flippers have hit their limit and things are going back to normal. people bought houses they could not afford with extreme creative financing. now, the time is up for those strange payments and they cant afford them. and, homes bought solely for profit by those who could not really afford them, are now stuck.

No, it does show that people were stupid and bought more house than they could really afford. Now many of them are having their ARMs readjust to higher rates and this will really take off. I look forward to picking up some real bargains soon.
