I'm here to see how long before Duncan Taylor gets banned or his head explodes.

Those days are long gone but, the funding options today are about to explode because of recent changes in SEC regulations.Long before you need to worry about how to put the large deal together, do some smaller ones.

Before the foreclosure bubble exploded, my network of mortgage/real estate friends were noticing that lenders were not filing/reporting NOD's so as not to impact their reserve requirements negatively, which concealed the extent of the problem from the public for some time.

As it turned out, companies still needed to make money in that "new economy" and the dot-com boom exploded before our eyes.

The "stimilus" package has nothing to due with stimulating the economy itself but is really the governments best guess of how they can prevent having to spend this money later.If they were to let things be more companies would have folded (or at least called it quits) and the government unemployment rolls would have exploded so drastically that they would have easily have doubled the monies they gave away in unemployment claims, food stampt, and all those other programs.This is what I believe is the real drive behind this and the government is going to get a little upset that their ploy did not work and take it out on those of us that have found a way to make money.

Prices have dipped, it's definitely a buyer's market, and properties stay on the market for substantially longer than they once did here, but for the most part you didn't see the complete bottoming-out that other cities struggled with (and during the boom you didn't see exploding prices, either).

This job has exploded my network which should translate well to the real estate industry.       

My heart exploded at every chance I got (evenings after classes and weekends) to work on her 1920s home.

I forget who exactly said it (either Grant Cardone or one of the guys from Wholesaling Inc) but I've taken to heart the idea of "filling up your pipeline to the point where it is about to explode". 

I've lived in Denton for 23 years, and the prices have just exploded all over the metroplex.
