Update on earlier question about Macke:

All apologies to those offended by the absurd (and endless) bailout of General Motors (GM). If you’re delighted to pay for the better part of Detroit, I really can’t speak for or to you. You likely think I’m crazy, and I doubt you understand what’s unfolding before your very eyes. If you’re actually in favor of leapfrogging socialism straight into totalitarianism, let’s just agree not to talk to one another at all.

Regardless, I haven’t been “kicked off” or “put on probation” from Fast Money. I plan on being there next Monday. That’s simply all I have to say on the matter.

Isn’t it possible that if existing home prices drop enough, new home prices won’t be competitive given all the front-end costs?

isn’t this increase explained by the fact that it is easier to buy new than to wade through morass of shorts and foreclosures if you actually want to buy and occupy something???
