Pralay,

How are your investments doing? Did you follow my advice a few weeks ago to invest in energy?

Madhaus,

I think you are surprised by my familiarity with just about every RBA neighborhood that come up for discussion. I know every street in your neighborhood too. No, I’m not implying I lived on your street…

>>just like he implies he lives in Palo Alto

Madhaus,

I hate to keep responding to your nonsense, but I’m curious about this one. Where did I imply anything about where I live? Do I need to imply anything? Usually I just tell it as it is, which you label as “trolling”. If you don’t enjoy the alternate opinions here, may I suggest that you go to a bubble site where you will always get the applause you are looking for?

Madhaus,

You’re the one who is trolling feeding us useless, misleading aggregate data. This complaint has already been raised before by multiple people, yet you continue on with your propaganda. WTF?

And don’t forget he is a comedian too. So when he misses something, he would just say “I was just joking”.

Crossroads, is it the same Ben Stein? Are the economist and the actor the same person?

Are we talking about the same Ben Stein, the one who is an “economist” (per Yahoo) is the same one who is an actor (the teacher in Ferris Bueller) and a game show host and now produced and stars in the creationist propaganda lying-sack-of-sh** movie Expelled? It is entirely possible there is more than one dude named Ben Stein. And also possible that the Ben Stein who wrote this article is a NAR shill.

You all (yes you Pralay, and you bob, and Crossroads and who else did I leave out?) really should know better than to feed the troll. Haven’t you figured out that every article the troll ever posts always proves the opposite of the claim? It’s part of the game, just like he implies he lives in Palo Alto (but since he seems to know nothing about any particular neighborhood…) or drives a Porsche or whatever. I’m sure he’s chuckling over getting you to “bite” again. Stop it. Now.

he funded a movie about intelligent design – he does not believe in evolution.
———-

Now I know while designing God forgot to add intelligence on another person. Not so intelligent design then.

“40% off? so what. Homes in Oakland were 150k or under when I moved here 8 years ago, and were so until more recently. 40% off means there’s probably another 20-30% left to go.I wouldn’t be giddy about buying a house in the part of Oakland you’re referring to because there’s a good reason why that area is having such a reduction in prices. That’s just my advice though. I assume you’re gonna’ buy a house as soon as you can anyway.”

Yes, I am going to buy as soon as I can, because the PITI on the house I want is $100 less than the rent on my 1-bedroom apartment in the SFO airport flightpath. It’s not a question of getting my own personal piggy bank – believe it or not, it actually is a question of value. Oakland is a great value right now.
