buzz , what is your analysis of the job market (one paragraph) and what is your opinion of the election as it pertains to your expertise on the job market (another paragraph)?

It's all here. I'm on my phone...Zero chance I'm typing a long response. 99% of my responses are on my phone...except when I post links.

Buzz, do you have any leads on an IT professional with years of operational experience in the Pittsburgh area. I'm happy at my current Fortune 100, but am always looking. Low 6 figure salary as a starting point.

The company I work for only has a call center in Pittsburgh. If you were interested in other locations in the northeast I might be able to hook you up with an opportunity to interview, but the rest is up to you.  Depending on the role, that salary wouldn't be an issue.

Suck on that for a little bit.


You're such a bore...truly. Just indignant, arrogant and banal. Your diatribes aren't even your own, they're just rehashed blog noise that I can just as easily find in the youtube comment section. 

So again, your "Proof" is that you're a self proclaimed expert? As I said...

The reality is that there was only one basic metric in regards to how we arrived at UE numbers...until Obama became president. Once that happened, the GOP redefined how we would calculate that number and proceeded to trot out the "true" numbers. You clowns do the same thing, in different ways, with polling data and anything else that upsets you. Everything is "skewed" everything has a "liberal bias" etc etc. Math, science, economics...it's all a conspiracy because it doesn't say what you'd like it to say.

No need to answer (although I bet your enormous ego is incapable of silence) I'll just go look for a similar response over at Breitbart...will be the same thing anyway.

So now instead of making things up as was accused before I am quoting some site I've never heard of?  Good to know. Carry on with your character assassination.  You guys should at least try to get your stories straight.

He's the smartest guy he knows!!! He also knows a lot of very very VERY smart people, tough people, who all say he's an expert in his field. You can ask any of them.

This is where both of your ignorance just shines through.  There have been a ton of debates here over the years.  9/11, Benghazi, Trump, global warming, and a ton of others that there's no need to list.  I stay out of them for the most part because frankly I don't know enough about them to hammer away at anybody.  I offer up my opinion and why I feel that way and that's about it.

Let me know if you need more evidence of something almost anyone that's been paying attention already knew ID.  Job market nowhere near as good as you seem to think it is.  Apology will be accepted.

you quoted Forbes as a legit publication? HAHAHAHAHAHA! politifact is exactly what I quoted you and you said they were liars with rigged numbers!! Hilarious. I spoon fed you this stuff. After you just got done saying the press doesn't tell the truth you're quoting... The press? Too funny. Again, so you understand, things got better under Obama. Sorry.

You gave presentations.... Whoopdee-friggin-doo. What does that even mean? Literally millions of people give job presentations, my sister does for Berkshire Hathaway, she prepares them for Vanderbilt. So I guess that makes her an expert on everything. She also hires too...and everyone within that corporate space have VASTLY different opinions on things. Your expert credentials are laughable.

The fact you made this all about yourself says everything. Sorry, James, I won't play into his crap no mo.

Your ignorance is stunning. You just can't accept the truth. Good day chump.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....you're so angry and boring. All you do is pivot in this thread. It seems to be a common trait with Republicans, you never can stand by what you say. Why is this? You're always jumping from one foot to the other.

Either you believe asset prices are in bubble territory or you do not. Yes or no. You state that the RE prices are puffed up, how we should all "learn" economics like you and they will pop again soon. I ask for you to back that up, and you act like an ass instead.

I notice you spend a great deal of time here telling everybody how smart you are, that your always right...you sound like Trump to be honest. You don't have to act like this every day you know, you can take a day off from time to time.

I suppose if I was a republican I might be offended, but alas you're wrong yet again.  I stand 100% by what I say to the point that I had to remind you what I said vs what you said I said.  Follow that?  I know it's a little more complex than you're used to. 

As soon as you and ID stop trying to catch me in a lie, I'll take time off.  Until then I'll remind you early and often how right I am.  It's up to you how this proceeds...

Pure semantics. You claimed housing values were overvalued and would deflate. Then referenced the prior RE bubble. I said all real estate is local and asked for proof of your claims. You then point to local markets...just what I said.

Sometimes it's best to quit trying to be right about everything...

The chart shows a sharp increase in housing prices.  I'll post it if/when I find it.  It's very similar to the time when the housing bubble happened, then burst.  Maybe prices went down too far and they are just recovering...hard to say, but the prices are increasing at a very fast pace right now.

In many markets prices went well below their floor. In Florida you could buy a nice 1/1 condo for 25-30k in 2009-2010. Nobody would believe it if they weren't there, but it was certainly true. Prices from 2010-2015 would show an absolute spike because the starting point was so ridiculously low. Other markets like San Fran, Miami etc are outrageously overpriced IMO, but that still remains to be seen since we have foreign buyers, hedge funds (not so much anymore) and cash buyers continuing to buy up.


So what you're saying is I am right?  I'm sure that's what you're saying because (surprise) I am.  The information is national information.  Prices nationally are indeed rising at a rapid rate as they did when the bubble was forming.  If you're claiming otherwise, you're full of shit.  If you're claiming I said otherwise, you're full of shit.  I know what I said, and I reposted what I said in case someone forgot.  Is each market different?  Sure, but I said that.  You were the one that asked me to prove prices were rising everywhere when I never said that.  I don't care to look, but I would be willing to bet prices weren't ridiculously high everywhere when the bubble was going on, so I'm not really sure what your point is.

I don't see a bubble because I still see very low inventory of homes available for sale.

Houses in nice shape are literally lasting days on the market here getting multiple offers and driving the prices up.  The only houses lasting are in bad shape.  Granted that's one market that is growing like mad, but that is why the inventory is so low...it's not that there aren't homes for sale, but they are getting snatched up right away.  Great if you're selling a house; not so good if you're buying.

There's a couple for you.  One opinion, one apparently fact, one more specific about certain markets.  Doesn't even scrape the surface of how some markets are doing, but certainly paints the recovery in simple terms anyone can understand.  Is it as ridiculous as it was in the housing bubble?  No, but I never said it was.  This is what I said:

Housing prices are inflated. It's a mirage. Same as it was before. Eventually the bubble bursts.

and

Housing prices overall are back to increasing at crazy levels as they did before the bubble burst.

I never said every single market was inflated.  Every market is unique.  I then gave 2 examples of my experiences in different markets.  Housing prices are rising sharply again as they did before the bubble.  Eventually I will find the chart I was looking at so you can see that too since that seems to be the only way you'll believe anything.   

Here's the good news though...housing price increases are more in line with inflation than they were when the bubble really hit.  Doesn't mean it will stay that way, but for now at least that part of the increase is inline.  Gives some hope the bursting won't be as bad (or at least isn't going to happen soon).

You support Hillary based on her supposed "qualifications" yet question mine.  Insane.  Safe to say I am more qualified to do my job than she is to be president.  I'll stand by that as a fact as well...at worst we're equally qualified if you think I somehow exaggerated my qualifications.

I'm still waiting for you to explain to us how the entire country is currently in a real estate bubble Mr. "Expert."

Holy shit. Get out of the house every once in a while. Or go to realtor.com and look at list prices vs what they sold for in the past. Do something for yourself for a change instead of being lazy.
