The available pool of lending instruments to purchase real estate is rapidly dwindling. The housing market is about to take on more inventory.

The Fed has put themselves in a box. Lowering rates causes the dollar to sink further, rapidly no doubt. Raising rates further compunds the credit worries.
They are between a rock and a hard place.

Did you see that link to Cramer on Drudge? He was certainly ranting! Bear Stearns, perhaps U.S. Bank may crater.

Hell if I know what to do. I'm not touching anything.

Amen! Why should we depreciate our currency further (and risk inflation) just to bail out those who made poor housing and investment decisions?

He has been ranting and raving for a rate cut. Last week he predicted the housing stocks would tank and recommended shorting them. However, he cautioned not to short the common directly, but buy puts instead, because if the Fed drops rates a 100 basis points, the housing stocks would recover nicely, and you'd get killed if you were short the common.
