My hometown newspaper the Baltimore Sun just can't seem to make up its mind. Just last month the paper went to press with a three part story entitled "The Coming Housing Crunch." It was the epitome of folly.

Home Sales Down, Saint Statues Up - 2006-08-23

Housing's Ill-gotten Gains - 2006-08-14
Honesty is the best policy. Twain knew this well. But unfortunately in the housing market the truth is often the first casualty of the bidding war.

The Game Has Changed - 2006-08-09
Baltimore, MD- Where once there were fortunes made only the weeds now grow. But it's not the weeds here that are so noticeable as it is the silence.

Ho...Ho ...Ho...These Homes have Got to Go - 2006-07-31
Throw another Yule log on the fire, grab yourself another eggnog, and call the kids down to unwrap their presents. Sure it is a little hot outside, but it's never too early to be thinking about gifts.....lots and lots of gifts.

The Iceberg Looms - 2006-07-26

An "Uh-Oh" at the Top - 2006-07-10
By all accounts, David Lereah is a smart man and he has the resume to prove it. As the chief economist for the National Association of Realtors he serves its chief spokesman and forecaster. Last month his group issued a particularly interesting statement addressed specifically to the Bernanke Fed.

It's Still Snake Oil - 2006-02-24
"Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go doooown, the medicine go down... Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, in the most delightful way!"

Biotech Epicenter - 2006-02-10
Wizard of Oz jokes get old quick. Having grown up in Kansas City, and on the Kansas side at that, I've put up with more than my share of mind-numbingly corny stabs at humor centering on the Sunflower State and its few pop culture reference points.

Get Rich in 2006 - 2006-01-09
Hey guys, Luke Burgess here. I'm writing to you today from beautiful British Columbia.

Chicken Dance, Part II - 2005-12-02

Welcome to Absurdistan - 2005-11-22

Lightspeed Computer Chips - 2005-11-10
As the Wealth Daily team at the east coast command office in Baltimore sat around one computer watching, through live streaming video, Senators grill big oil execs about their charitable contributions, I thought to myself just how far the Internet has come from the days of dial-up.

The Fed: A Team Player for Wall Street - 2005-11-08
