Excerpt from Lereah's Book March 2005

" I believe that in years to come historians will see the beginning of the twenty-first century as the "golden age" of real estate. And I want to persuade you to take advantage of this historic opportunity. "
["Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom? Why Home Values and Other Real Estate Investments will Climb Through the End of the Decade-And How To Profit From Them" March 2005, p4]

The man is clearly smart. They dont hand out PhDs to anyone. So why would he sell himself like a common whore??

We have Markowitz, Sharpe, Tobin, Shiller, Siegel that added to society. Now we have this sad pittiful man who cares about only himself. Why? What's wrong with him?

Huh? I know plenty of people with PhDs who are not smart. It doesn't take smarts, it takes time, money, perseverance and work - not necessarily in that order.

Keep up the good work of chronicling the Lies of Lereah.

David Lereah, Chief Economist of the National Ass. of Realtwhores, has the ethics of a dope-dealing pimp. However, his prophesies are not entirely without merit.

Mr. Lereah is a very reliable contrary indicator: Take whatever he says and reverse it. For example, he said, "I believe that in years to come historians will see the beginning of the twenty-first century as the "golden age" of real estate. And I want to persuade you to take advantage of this historic opportunity."

TRANSLATION: "I believe that in years to come historians will see the beginning of the twenty-first century as the "DARK AGE" of real estate. And I want to persuade you to AVOID this historic DEATH TRAP."

Veronica Lodge ...you big slut. You stay away from my David. If anyone is going to interpret what he says it will be me, his Mommy, not some two-bit whore that may or may not have slept with David.

You're just angry cause he dumped you. He said you were subprime and that your bubble had burst a long time ago. He also said that your idea of a good time was flushing the toilet and yelling "Thar she blows". Good God girl get a life!

"The man is clearly smart. They dont hand out PhDs to anyone. So why would he sell himself like a common whore?"

Lereah's publication record -- the true measure of a successful PhD -- is a joke, both in terms of peer reviewed articles written and number of peer citations. Look at it youself at a Google scolar search for David A Lereah.

It's almost as if he never was in a PhD program -- it sure would have been much better for the country if he never entered economics.

Ms lodge,I managed real estate in east oakland for more than a decade,and your comparison of Mr lereah's ethics to those of a dope dealing pimp is a foul calumny upon those entrepeneurs who provide services that are much desired by our society,despite their illegallity.

Hey reporter this blog saved me from listening to the NAR propaganda. I would be a screwed homeowner now in over his head. I know a few good people who got sucked into their BS now they have sleepless nights trying to figure out how to make the payments.

The whole problem is house prices. simply way to high fot the avg person to afford. NOONE REPRESENTS THE BUYERS INTEREST IN THIS WHOLE HOME BUYING PROCESS.

CONGRATS DAVID FOR AN EXCELLENT BLOG.

Daivi is joining Move Inc. See press release below. BTW, I like this statement in the PR release:

David is an expert on real estate and the economy, and his stature and
expertise enhanced NAR's position as the most credible source on economic
and policy issues affecting the housing industry in the United States and
abroad," said Dale Stinton, NAR executive vice president and CEO. "We wish
him the greatest success in his new endeavor."

Is this good news or bad news for the future of this blog?

Answer: bad news.

Boycott realtors.

Do NOT use a realtor when you buy a house.

A few more years of ramen may send them the right message to clean up their act!

Smart is relative. There are people with PhD's who can't manage their finances or lack common sense.
