The main guy in the story (can't remember his name) says that while the USA is 1/2 way (or 2/3 of the way) through the sub prime mess, the above two types of mortgages will cause more pain for a couple more years.

I wonder how this will effect Canada's/Alberta's/Calgary's economy further (or if it will)? and how long until we see the trending upward?

Didn't Jim Cramer call the bottom in the US for June 30, 2009 and doesn't he know everything http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/printt...hreadid=151233

If you take a city like Houston they seem to be basing whereas a city like Miami seems to be still in tank mode.....http://www.homepricetrend.com
I guess we can ask the US equivalent of Crebs for their prediction....I wonder if they have started using psychics yet....
