- We needed a sledgehammer years ago
-
Bradford and Bingley - I cannot keep up with it. Downgrades, rights issues, and private equity groups – the bank is a model of instability. Each week, the B&B management produce an new capital raising strategy. Somehow, every attempt fails, leaving the hapless shareholders filling an ever-growing hole.The B&B must be giving the FSA nightmares.

Unless you follow the housing market closely, you may think that not much in the housing market has changed. Yes, in January we already knew that the housing market was having problems but these last 6 months have added fuel to the flame. In January, the year over year drop for Southern California was 13.3% and the median price was $425,000. That may seem horrific and was a record but measure that with data 6 months later that now has the year over year drop at 26.7% and a median price of $370,000. The velocity of the drop intensified exponentially during this time frame.
