Just trying to see if we have any identity crisis here :) 

I wouldn't be surprised to see that when the sovereign debt crisis comes to these shores the government suddenly changes the rules and forces you to have at least 75% of your portfolio in government debt.They will say it is the patriotic thing to do!

They will struggle to make consistent payments especially is a crisis comes up (one of them ends up in hospital or loses job and has to suddenly take care of elderly parents).  

The consensus was there are more non performing loans now then during the height of the foreclosure crisis.

It's nice to know that Israel doesn't have any laws against assasination of foreign diplomats, and they certainly have more to worry about than we do at this point.It could get very ugly over in the middle east in the next couple years, but I don't think it will be necessary for us to become directly involved in terms of military action; at some point, it may be a good idea to get involved militarily, but in my opinion, let's let Israel play the bad guy for a little while.

It is a process that has been going on for decades and had dramatically increased in speed and intensity in the past few months (under the guise of a crisis).

The last and only time California's budget was pulled out of a crisis and into surplus was under Governor Ronald Reagan.

The insurance company may only have a $250,000 to $1 million health coverage and a mold case (or multiple mold cases) could easily go well over that, assuming the plaintiff is actually experiencing a health crisis and not just freaking out over mold.If worse comes to worse and the HOA becomes insolvent this is a situation that can be turned around, but it requires a highly dedicated and talented group of homeowners to deal with.  

Denver rent prices have been on the rise the entire time in a consistence cadence, and reflecting possible RE bubbles and deflation periods of the early 80's (high inflation), late 80's (Savings and Loan crisis), early 90's (Resolution Trust, massive REO's) and the 2007-2008 financial debacle, there were no unusual spikes reported in monthly rental cost (per unit) as a lagging factor of these activities.What the report does show is that rents have been strong and rising consistently in an orderly fashion through all of these RE bubble periods (which is what we would expect as the rental prices are keeping pace and somewhat tracking upwards with inflation).  

This is what all economic crisis' are.
