Hummm...something fishy, stupid, criminal, fraudulent, etc. happened in that transaction.

That seems really fraudulent.

So Jason,Do you want to sleep soundly or gamble on a bigger return?

There was nothing fraudulent about offering variable rate interest loans and I strongly disagree that lenders should be forced to re-write these loans.

Baby boomers are too close to retirement to gamble whats left of their next eggs.

I was thinking taking the cash now is better than gambling on the future (with the savings in mortgage I would be getting 65K over the 5 years).

Roy was gambling prices would rise enough to make these good investments.

I received the full $600.I ended up putting it in a penny stock...I figrued it was free money...might as well gamble a bit.WWEI....crap little stock but swings in predictable cycles...at least it did over the summer.I couldn't have gotten luckier with my timing bought at .06 and sold at .18....went to .20...now its back down.Litterally like going to vegas.So I tripled the money to 1,800.I kept 600 in my trading account.

so if his bank calls the loan due because he was taking my payments and gambling with them instead of paying his mortgage I could be stuff with paying his bank loan off quickly?

Branson is growing leaps and bounds due to the new landing and I am watching for the river boat gambling boats within 5 yrs. ( yup, been defeated once but I bet they try again.)
