The Absurdity Trend…
I saw a commercial on TV tonight from some assanine real estate association talking about the extended first time buyer home credit. They were urging me to ‘call my real estate agent’.

Wrong on Google…Sorry.
I was very wrong on Google. I know many people follow my ideas so I apologize. I will likely take the loss in the AM. Google $goog is killing it, but the sellers took control for the moment. I continue to try and be very careful and selective when tweeting and sharing ideas. I am …
