I am gambling on being deflationary for at least the rest of this year.

Betting on appreciation is a gamble that many have lost.

I work with a law firm investigating allegations that KB homes fraudulently sold new homes at inflated prices through pre-determined appraisals.

Now I think he is a completely useless, fraudulent, pandering piece of garbage.

I guess it's a bit of a gamble here because of the jobs situation. people have used Vallejo as the affordable bedroom community and then making the 1 to 1.5 hour commute each way to where the jobs are.

The article also says "Officials say such operations almost always are fraudulent, and that help is available for free from government-approved housing counselors."

There are also some fraudulent 'refinance' outfits that have been using signs along those lines and leaving homeowners holding the bag.

As much as gambling and wealth acquisition DON'T go together, I'd like to relax in Vegas for a week.

The Stock Brokerages are folded into small enough "businesses" to live on their SUCCESSFUL investing, not the fraudulent promises of trustworthy "management" of other peoples' money.

However, as I said earlier, the real question is whether this is the best use of your money and is the long term gamble worth the month-in and month-out loss?"
