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.< the fact that I am not obtuse is why I keep harping on it - you characterized all homeowners as being unable to lend guideance to their kids on real estate transactions because they were a generation of boneheads. A misuse of the generation term, a blanket condemnation of a large group of people that cannot even be defined, and a back handed reference to the fact they could do as well without any guideance from parents or others older than them... all perfect examples of your FACTS
Originally Posted By Mr X **no sorry , you generalized all homeowners as a generation of boneheads unable to give advice to their children.** *sigh* Once again, I criticized THIS generation, TODAY'S generation, the people having kids TODAY who are in the markets and pumping real estate into a toxic mess. YOU belong to an older generation of more responsible borrowers, one who's kids are older and out of the nest or nearly so (LIKE YOU). Since I was directly referring to THIS current financial mess (obviously), and it's obviously responsible for what's happening NOW, my comment makes perfect sense. I think you would even agree with it, if you could see past your distaste about my truthful comments. And that's also why MY comment was right on the money and YOUR retort (about a few greedy companies) was completely wrong.

Wow. < continued misuse of generation - explain who exactly partakes of something as stupid as this ? Likely a few souls from many generations - that doesn't make any one group boneheads as you reference.... someone who goes here for their financial advice - gets what they should - but this person could be 20 or 40 or 60 or 80 -- doesn't make an entire generation boneheads because this guy can can attract some people -- hucksters and companies using 'celebrities' ( and I use that term loosely here )- to attract business. I don't know anyone at any age who would go here -- attracted by the message of being able to avoid the hassle of federally insured lenders....pretty amazing, but I could not attribute this to any one age group or generation --
Originally Posted By Mr X **It is major players who wanted to expand their holdings** YES, VBDad, YES. it is ALL the" major players" as you put it. Of course it is. And that's why your statement about "a few greedy companies" was wrong, and trivialized my excellent observations. And beyond that, it was those greedy companies coupled with TODAY'S GENERATION OF BONEHEADS that caused this mess. Like I said. Really, can anyone be THAT obtuse? Your ability to completely obfuscate any debate is breathtaking. You should really run for office.
