It's morning in Obama's America

The thread that is somehow impossible to find now?

I have a PDF of it (old FSB habits die hard).

Did you write your posts yourself?

Here is that thread from 2005.  I got some small things wrong, but overall I find my predictions eerily accurate.  I originally printed it when the shit hit the fan in 2008.

Maybe I should apply for a Fed Chairman position.

Wow.  Why did you do this?  Did I make a fool of myself?

You guys realize that it wasn't the housing bubble that broke the economy, right?   We've had housing bubbles before.   
It was all the gambling surrounding it that made crisis affecting millions turn into one involving billions.

It was a credit bubble.  Housing was just a part of it.

I miss Camper

So, if I understand this right, if I can get a decent job right on the cusp of the meltdown, AFTER the meltdown I can buy a cheap house? And there might even be a revolution? Rock on.

I miss me.

Heck, credit is still probably too cheap and easy to get.

[DGuller]

Cheap, yes, but definitely not easy to get.

Me too.  I wish he'd come back.  I hope he has a job.

Whoa, what happened to Camper?  Did something happen to Camper when I was gone?  I mean, I know he's not here now, but I thought he was one of the ones who just wandered off (like Vinraith, or Hamilcar, or me, for that matter).

Hamilcar didn't exactly just "wander off."

And wow at the archived thread; Skippy, Yi, and Grumbles all lost big on that argument.

Did you not get to the bottom of the thread?  Lemonjello clearly wins the the Nostradamus Award in a virtual blowout.

[Ideologue]

And I'm pretty sure I'd already predicted an economic collapse by that point.

Actually, I did see that, just after I posted that comment.
