But it does happen, and when we do sell its at a very skinny margin or no margin at all!

The market was VERY unstable - I wouldn't touch this if I didn't have a 30% margin.Remember this is a business designed on the premise of making money - get your ducks lined up in advance or get out of the water and lookk for a new place to enter.If you think it is "skinny" now - why risk it?

I highly doubt any ABA lobbyist was happy with the Volcker rule either.Here's the simple skinny without all the deep financial talk as I see it:When the mega banks found out it was losing the battle to public opinion; they supported the incumbent politicians and changed their tactics.

Deals are harder to find at times, but I don't want to waste my time on skinny deals hoping to keep it rented with the hopes of appreciation. 

And sometimes they will put those townhomes or I have heard them called "skinny homes".

I thought I would exit at 219k  and we sold it in 4 hours first day at 238k... what was a pretty skinny deal to start with ended up being pretty nice after all...

The bump in Apple shares had a fair amount to do with strong sales for iPod and the Mac computers.5.

One year during a severe drought we got a lot of skinny little lambs no-one wanted for 25c a head & fostered them out to 'city folk' to raise in their lush back yards.

@Jimmy Nguyen too skinny of a deal for the dollars at risk IMHO.

They were out by the time the Marshal showed up but left behind a skinny pitbull (dogs were not allowed) that had probably been used as a bait dog.
