thoughts on big corporations buying up all the inventory

[Strat V.]

Has anybody else heard that big corporations are buying up all the inventory, REO, foreclosures and making inventory numbers decrease? Any information would be appreciated.

Yes, this is happening in many parts of country -- though by "big corporations" I assume you mean hedge funds and institutional investors. I don't think non-investors are doing this.

This has been discussed at length here on BP for the past 8-10 months...
