More signs that the RE business is laden with fraud and corruption.

No different than any other mania/bubble in history.

Price shop. No one forcing you to pay.
Same with housing. People choose to pay, but in most cases they can't afford it using a tradional loan. using some risky gimmicky spec loan.
Deserve the consequences

I have been following a site now for almost 2 years and I have found it to be both reliable and profitable. They post daily and their stock trades have been beating
the indexes easily.

Take a look at Wallstreetwinnersonline.com
