How to Comment!
It’s come to my attention that some people haven’t been able to add comments to my posts. It’s incredibly easy. Right beside my photo at the upper right corner of each post there’s a bag.
Think of this as YOUR punching bag. Imagine that you were aiming at my head and missed and hit the bag! Then let us all know whatever’s on your mind.
Standard laws of Internet etiquette apply! No cussing, swearing, flaming, threats, all the standard stuff. Oh, and don’t use all caps. that means you’re unnecessarily shouting and you’ll probably get deleted. And if I see something that looks libelous or slanderous your comment won’t appear.

His HOA is fining him $5000 because a couple of Magnolia trees he planted were too short. He’s already spent $1500 in an effort to mediate this idiotic dispute. Miracle Grow doesn’t work fast enough for this HOA board.
So, kiss those trees good-bye, Pat. Don’t you know you’ve destroyed all the property values in your neighborhood?

But Bloomberg News now reports that the Fed is requiring a dozen major banking institutions in 2014 to stage a series of ‘war games’ if you will, stress-testing their ability to endure a plunge in the value of their portfolios.
How would they fare in another massive housing bust?
Hmmm, let’s toss into the mix a few factors that nobody ever talks about. 24% to 50% of the mortgage portfolios held by some major lending institutions are in homes located within American Homeowners Associations.
