Home Price Increase Not Sign Of Econ. Strength
The Mercury News may have todays' report upside-down. "Strong home sales ease inflation fears" was the title. "A surprising rise in home sales restored investors' confidence in the economy and eased fears of inflation and higher interest rates."
Highly valued home prices rise even more and that is less inflationary? And if you listen to this guy, you would think rates are even more likely to be raised due to the increase. Maybe the writer is on loan from the style section. "The benevolent Michele Chandler is filling in for the waggish Jon Ann Steinmetz."

I rarely read something as stupid. So the economy is good and there is NO inflation because a lot of houses are being sold. So it's the same reasoning as with the NASDAQ bubble. Prices go up because of confidence, and confidence goes up becaus prices move up. What a bunch of morons. A perfect definition of momentum investing but this time applied to real estate. Makes you wonder what these poeple really know about anything. The press are as stupid as the Federal Reserve bankers.
