What percent of the questions you ask on Yahoo! Answers fail to be posted for others to see?

by quapan

I am talking about the questions you question that are accepted but never posted on the public view boards… or if they make public view they do so within minutes as opposed to over a half hour later when no one is expected to see them.

For me, somewhere around 30% of my questions fail to be publicly seen
in terms of R & S … most questions with the term “Christianity” or “Christian” in it with another term that can be seen as unfavorable are more often than not rejected

Answer by Your favorite band sucks.
I don’t ususally question r&s questions for that reason…

Mine nearly NEVER post.

Answer by GOOFZILLA ~P3D~
Nearly half of them, lately. I end up deleting most of them rather than get the undeserved violation notice.

Among the crowded ranks of economists and promote watchers, Dean Baker stands out. Baker presciently called the housing bubble when he in print "The Run-up in Home Prices: Is It Real or Is It Another Bubble?" in 2002.

So does our guest Baker see the so-called housing recovery now? "No. I mean I reckon people that are saying that just aren’t paying attention to what’s in front of their eyes," says Baker, an American economist and co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.

"I reckon we're going to see a huge fall-off in buys for the rest of 2010 and even into 2011," Baker says. "So the thought that somehow the promote is stable, that housing prices will rise anytime soon – it's really hard to make a case for that."

Baker lays out numerous reasons for his bearish case:

* Programs that lifted the promote, including the tax credit for first-time buyers, have expired.
* The Federal Reserve is exiting the mortgage promote, which will liable push rates to 5.5% to 6% by the end of the year.
* There’s still an inventory glut and rental rates are falling in many markets, notes Baker, author of "Fake Profits: Improving from the Bubble Economy." He says the rental promote doesn’t lie.

Naturally the housing bulls disagree. Ring fence-fund administrator John Paulson, for example, said housing prices in hard-hit California will commence to rise this year, setting the stage for a wider recovery, as the FT reports.

So what are the chances of, say, another tax credit or buy of mortgage-backed securities? "I reckon they’d be loath to do that because of the signal it would send," Baker says in the accompanying clip. "I mean it would send this unambiguous signal things really are terrible, worse than had been advertised."

Excess…

I took this photo while just north of Los Angeles in the city of Santa Maria. It’s been one of the harder-hit areas of California, despite being honestly close to pricey and always fashionable Santa Barbara. Perhaps too much building/supply and simply not enough demand was the conundrum here. This particular photo was taken right off the 101 freeway, and really only captured a handful of the many, many real estate signs planted on the patch of growth by the on-ramp. I was immediately pinched to the vista, as I felt it summed up the housing bubble impeccably, which in my opinion, has been all about excess – photo courtesy The Certainty About Mortgage

…..item 3)…..Yahoo! News …bought to you by Yahoo! Finance….US homes lost to foreclosure up 25 pct on year

By ALEX VEIGA, AP Real Estate Writer

Thursday September 16, 2010

news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100916/ap_on_bi_ge/us_foreclosure_r…

LOS ANGELES – Lenders took back more homes in Dignified than in any month since the start of the U.S. mortgage crisis.

The increase in home repossessions came even as the digit of properties entering the foreclosure process slowed for the seventh month in a row, foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac Inc. said Thursday.

In all, banks repossessed 95,364 properties last month, up 3 percent from July and an increase of 25 percent from Dignified 2009, RealtyTrac said.

Dignified makes the ninth month in a row that the pace of homes lost to foreclosure has increased on an annual basis. The previous high was in May.

Banks have been stepping up repossessions to clear out their backlog of terrible loans with an eye on eventually placing the foreclosed properties on the promote, but they can’t afford to simply dump the properties on the promote.

Concerns are growing that the housing promote recovery could stumble amid tenaciously high unemployment, a sluggish economy and faltering consumer confidence. U.S. home sales have collapsed since federal homebuyer tax credits expired in April.

That’s one reason fewer than one-third of homes repossessed by lenders are on the promote, said Rick Sharga, a senior vice president at RealtyTrac.

"These (properties) are going to come to promote, but very slowly because nobody desires to overwhelm a soft buyer’s promote with too much distressed inventory for dread of what it would do for house prices," he said.

As a result, lenders are putting off initiating the foreclosure process on homeowners who have missed payments, letting borrowers stay in their homes longer.

The digit of properties receiving an initial default notice — the first step in the foreclosure process — slipped 1 percent last month from July, but was down 30 percent versus Dignified last year, RealtyTrac said.

Initial defaults have fallen on an annual basis the past seven months. They peaked in April 2009.

Still, the digit of homes scheduled to be sold at auction for the first time increased 9 percent from July and rose 2 percent from Dignified last year. If they don’t sell at auction, these homes typically end up going back to the lender.

More than 2.3 million homes have been repossessed by lenders since the recession started in December 2007, according to RealtyTrac. The firm estimates more than 1 million American households are liable to lose their homes to foreclosure this year.

In all, 338,836 properties received a foreclosure-related warning in Dignified, up 4 percent from July, but down 5 percent from the same month last year, RealtyTrac said. That translates to one in 381 U.S. homes.

The firm tracks notices for defaults, scheduled home auctions and home repossessions — warnings that can lead up to a home eventually being lost to foreclosure.

Among states, Nevada posted the highest foreclosure rate last month, with one in each 84 households receiving a foreclosure notice. That’s 4.5 times the national average.

Rounding out the top 10 states with the highest foreclosure rate in Dignified were: Florida, Arizona, California, Idaho, Utah, Georgia, Michigan, Illinois and Hawaii.

Economic woes, such as unemployment or reduced income, are now the main catalysts for foreclosures.

Lenders are offering a variety of programs to help homeowners modify their loans, but their success rates vary. Hundreds of thousands of homeowners can’t qualify or fall back into default.

The Obama handing out has rolled out numerous attempts to tackle the foreclosure crisis but has made only a small dent in the conundrum. Nearly half of the 1.3 million homeowners who enrolled in the Obama handing out’s flagship mortgage-relief program have fallen out.

The program, renowned as Making Home Affordable, has provided permanent help to about 390,000 homeowners since March 2009.

In any case, many troubled borrowers have seen their hard work to get a loan modification stymied.

Larry Book of Winter Backyard, Fla., was one packet away from a permanent loan modification from Chase under the Obama handing out’s foreclosure prevention plot after more than a year of back and forth and one failed attempt.

But his modification never went through. Instead, his loan was transferred from Chase to IBM Lender Business Process Servicers in July and he was told he owed ,562.62 and must bring his mortgage current by Sept. 15 or foreclosure proceedings will commence.

"It just becomes too exhausting," Book said about the modification process. "That’s why some people walk away. But I’ve invested too much and given up too much to just let it go."

TEXT OF INTERVIEW

KAI RYSSDAL: I know I said yesterday that I’m not a huge fan of anniversary tales, but this is kind of a huge week. Two being ago now, Lehman Brothers went broke, kicking off a stretch of a crazy couple of months that we’re still trying to recover from.

Documentary filmmaker Charles Ferguson has a new movie out — "Inside Job, it’s called — that tries to clarify what happened that fall and to figure out who’s to blame.

So that’s everywhere we started when we talked, with me asking whether it’s possible to blame individuals for the whole financial crisis, or whether the problems on Wall Street were more systemic?

CHARLES FERGUSON:What has happened is that a very substantial part of the financial services industry has come to be outside the law, and as it has be converted into increasingly powerful, it has attracted increasingly immoral people. Its behavior has be converted into more and more perilous to the financial system and to the American economy.

RYSSDAL: There was also a sort of trend of not talking about any of this stuff. There’s a fantastic moment in the film when one of the few regulators you’ve got on camera was Christine Lagarde, the French finance minister. And you started asking her about Lehman Brothers, and when she found out that it was going under.

FERGUSON: When were you first told Lehman in fact was going to go bankrupt?

CHRISTINE LAGARDE:After the fact.

FERGUSON: After the fact? Wow, OK. And what was your reaction when you learned of it?

LAGARDE:Holy cow.

RYSSDAL: Clearly, we’re connected financially, but not so much along the shape of communication, huh?

FERGUSON: I was truly, truly dumbstruck when I learned the extent of the ignorance and disconnect in this, of the American regulatory system during the crisis. Paulson, Bernanke, were astonishingly ignorant of the consequences of their pronouncement. They did not know foreign bankruptcy laws, they did not know that all transactions in London would be halted and then that would produce catastrophic financial results cascading throughout the financial system nearly immediately.

RYSSDAL: I want to play something from the film. It’s Allan Sloan, he’s a senior editor at Fortune magazine. He’s a well-respected financial writer. He tells a small tale.

ALLAN SLOAN: A friend of mine who’s involved in a company that has huge financial presence said, "Well, it’s about time you learned about sub-prime mortgages." So he set up a session with his trading desk and me. And the techie who did all this gets very excited, runs to his computer, pulls up in about three seconds this Goldman Sachs issue of securities. It was a complete disaster. Borrowers had borrowed on average 99.3 percent of the price of the house, which means that they had no money in the house.

RYSSDAL: So for all the blame that Allan puts on Goldman Sachs — and certainly they deserve it — what about Americans looking in the mirror and saying, you know what, a small bit of this is our fault too.

FERGUSON: Well, certainly that’s right to some extent. There was a bubble, and it was a huge bubble and many people bought houses that they couldn’t afford and were careless with regard to the loan documentation that they signed. But over half of people who received sub-prime mortgages really would have qualified for a less expensive prime mortgage. They were steered into more expensive sub-prime mortgages by mortgage brokers who were paid extra money the more expensive the loan they made was. So it was something that was cultivated, and in many regards, forced upon the American people by the financial services industry.

RYSSDAL: How come nobody went to jail?

FERGUSON: Well, there’s a simple obvious answer and then there’s a deeper, more complicated answer, which I don’t fully know. The simple obvious answer is that this has be converted into an out-of-control industry; a very, very powerful industry.

RYSSDAL: What’s the more subtle reason that you haven’t quite figured out?

FERGUSON: For some reason that I truly don’t know, this situation has not generated the level of standard outrage that similar or comparable things have generated at other times in American description. There have been other times in American description — some recent, some long ago — when our leaders, our business leaders, and/or our biased leaders, have done something terribly incorrect and more than once, the American people have risen up and said, "We simply will not permit this." And that hasn’t happened here, yet. I reckon that part of the reason that it hasn’t happened might be that people reckon that finance is too complicated for them to know, and that the situation is too complicated for them to know. And indeed one reason that I made the film is to make it clear that really they can know it.

RYSSDAL: Charles Ferguson, his new film is about the financial crisis and the events of fall two being ago and how it got there. It’s called "Inside Job." Mr. Ferguson, thanks so much for your time.

FERGUSON: Thank you.

…..item 6)……website….DNAinfo….Manhattan Local News…..New York Film Festival Documentary Tackles Wall Street Greed

October 1, 2010 7:23am

Director Charles Ferguson explores the financial meltdown.

dnainfo.com/20101001/manhattan/new-york-film-festival-doc…

MIDTOWN — Academy Award-winning director Charles Ferguson has shifted his sights from the origins of the Iraq War to greed on Wall Street.

The director of "No End in Sight," which examined the Bush Handing out’s actions leading up to the war in Iraq, traces the root causes of the financial meltdown in his latest film, "Inside Job," showing Friday and Monday at the New York Film Festival.

"It’s vital that the American people know what happened here," Ferguson said in an interview with DNAinfo. "I hope that people come away with an understanding…that is hasn’t been flat yet, and that it’s up to us, the American people to fix it."

Ferguson said even he was taken aback by some of what he learned over the course of interviews with top economists, politicians, scholars and even a Wall Street psychotherapist, who detailed the cocaine habits of senior management level bankers.

Glenn Hubbard, dean at Columbia University’s business school, is taken to task in the film for his ties to leading financial services firms. Ferguson argues that huge consulting fees corrupt economic scholarship.

While the film’s message is far from uplifting, it features an upbeat soundtrack with songs from Peter Gabriel and Russell Ballard as well as narration from actor Matt Damon. In between interviews, the camera lingers on shots of the Manhattan skyline at dusk and dawn, and zooms down on Learjets, yachts and Long Island mansions.

"I wanted the film to look cool, but also I wanted to convey that New York is a huge house, and there is a lot of money here," Ferguson said. "Certainly when we took film of the Hamptons, I wanted to convey to people everywhere all that money was going."

The "Inside Job" will be unrestricted in theaters on Oct.8.
