Just read the IMF paper that “watched bubble” said explains why our bubble doesn’t exist. Did “Watched bubble” read it? The paper has nothing to do with the overall integrity and risks of our system. This is what it covers:

“This paper builds on past research and argues that the paucity of longer-term loans is caused by a five-year maturity cap on government-guaranteed deposit insurance, and a prepayment penalty limit on residential mortgage loans in the Interest Act. In addition, the availability and cost of residential loans for prime borrowers are comparable to those in the United States.”

rob – So did Baxter get it’s license?

serendipity – there are good accidents and unfortunately bad ones.

none of the 36 or 37 people who were exposed to the contaminated vaccine became infected, the incident is being described as “a serious error” on the part of Baxter, which is on the brink of securing a European licence for an H5N1 vaccine. That vaccine is made at a different facility, in the Czech Republic.
“For this particular incident … the horse did not get out (of the barn),” Dr. Angus Nicoll of the ECDC said from Stockholm.

The village is getting smaller to us humans. Virus and bacteria have no borders whether you live in a tent or have brick surroundings.

Many millions don’t have regular preventive health care in the U.S.A. and don’t receive vaccines that prevent disease . If this continues will we start to see a resurgence of whooping cough etc …
As i see it many Americans have no health care + no home /Canadians that are homeless still have health care .

Do you think the richer humans will decide to go to public option due to these facts or are they really compassionate? If Greed is the push factor. Charity lately seems to be tied to richer humans who used ‘donation’ as a tax schemes to improve their lives.

haven’t done that
I rather rent forever than working double job to own a house
I would call owning a house now mission critical
Everything has to stay perfect on the course
let say gas for example; how quickly the tides can turn

We should borrow the central bank governor from the EU, Australia or Israel. Their banks governors have “A” rating. Our Mark got only “B” mark.

Garth,

I read ‘Greater Fool’. I’m reading ‘After the Crash’. Both are easy and interesting reads.

I agree that real estate is grossly over-valued. I agree that consumer debt is out of control. I agree that there will be painful consequences, for many.

However, I’m not sure that I agree with the ‘worst case’ consequences.

Generators? Matches? There’s still power, resources, infrastructure. Wouldn’t there just be a revaluation of everything so that our world continues to function?

When building a house of cards, and it falls, we have 2 options:

1) Point and scream at the fallen cards
2) Start building again

Keep posting.

In retrospect that IMF document about Canadian mortgages has, year after year for the last decade, shown why RE doomsayers have been repeatedly wrong.

#160, Its sad to think someone with a PHD would think mercury, formaldehyde, squalene and live cancer viruses are something that a person should be injecting into their arm. 6 months ago Baxter International was caught trying to release live bird flu in their vaccines in Europe. They are one of the main distributors of this vaccine. But I guess having a PH.d means you don’t have to follow current events and gives you a lifetime pass on knowledge. Doctors are threatened with lawsuits if they tell people not to get the vaccine, yet if someone has an adverse reaction or dies from the vaccine the pharmaceutical companies have be exempted by new legislation. Don’t try and make people think this vaccine is safe, because I KNOW it is not.
