You all know what a hard job it is, but it can be so rewarding...... everything from major successes - to a child that you work with on their math everyday or night after school who improves their grade 10 points and beams when they arrive home with their results.

Talk about self important!

The ones who caused this gigantic mess that could potentially affect said kids 10-20 years down the road, by the way.

Talk about self important!< only as a defense against ATTACKS as to your main there how bad I am , how unknowing I am, how I don't know people, how my kids are talking about me behind my back, how is mistreat my daughter as a child, and oh so many more witticisms from your all knowing viewpoint. I am no more important than the man in the moon to most people. I know I am important to my family and that is what matters. I have made many mistakes in my life, one of the most recent is bothering to engage you as you truly have nothing to say. There are plenty of things I do know about - although I always lend my thoughts - not tell people how stupid they must be etc.. that is your role in LP- and you excel at it.

Breaking News, hot off the press. Wanna repeat that comment about "a few greedy companies"? No, I'm sure you'll go ahead and reply with more insults (I truly have "nothing to say" is a good one...).

Originally Posted By vbdad55 and it proves what X ? a generation of boneheads ? Of which you of course are not a part. You really haven't a clue...and you really do have nothing to say in this thread. What enlightenment have you brought - everyone sucks at what they do except you ? SPP - I will take your counselary advice and retire, it's like talking to a wall , you are correct. Go Cubs !
Originally Posted By Mr X It proves that you misspoke, but of course you'd never say that. You said "a few greedy companies", I proved that you were entirely wrong WITH FACTS (again). And of course, you took that as another oportunity to further insult me. As always. And *I* haven't a clue? Funny.
Originally Posted By vbdad55 care to address your generation of bonehead comments or skip over it as usual. as far as a few greedy companies - there are plenty of mortgage brokers but only a certain amount of players when it comes to holding the note. It is not hundreds of companies that are on the hook for the $ on the bad loans now is it? It is major players who wanted to expand their holdings
Originally Posted By vbdad55 just as referenced in your Blomberg article .... just as most credit card lenders are owned by relatively few banks and services - a bandcard may say Jersey Bank or some other local bank, but likely is a part of FIA or someone - relatively few companies hold the majority of weath ( and debt ) -
Originally Posted By vbdad55 <And of course, you took that as another oportunity to further insult me. As always.< as you say so often to everyone - just my opinion and I have a right to express it... I do believe you feel everyone sucks at everything except you...based on many posts and I also believe I am far from alone in that thought. If you feel insulted - so be it.
Originally Posted By Mr X **care to address your generation of bonehead comments or skip over it as usual.** THIS generation of boneheads did screw up the whole system, yes. Those who have become homeowners recently, the people who made the bubble happen. Since you are a member of an older generation, as you stated, I don't see why you keep harping on this at all? You're being extremely obtuse.
