HousingPANIC calls it quits

I can’t say it was one of my favorites, but it did offer a few moments of amusement over the last few years. Who could forget the battle and flame war with Greg at Bloodhound Blog. What a hoot. Mr. Swann won that one and it was awesome to watch. And I’m still flattered by my “Real Estate Poodle” title Keith bestowed.
HousingPANIC remains online as “A time capsule of the greatest financial mania in the history of mankind, told in real-time by regular folks and patriots. May future generations better understand the madness of crowds, and how power and money corrupt.”
Keith has since turned his attention to a new blog, Soot and Ashes “A politically incorrect pamphlet for the common man hitting on all the good stuff: Politics. Economics. Fiscal Policy. Foreign Policy. Moral Issues. Culture. Investments. Religion. Humor. Life.” His brain is just too big to only discuss housing issues, I guess. At least he’s an Obama supporter.

It was certainly a guilty pleasure. Oh well . . . Soot and Ashes looks to be a pretty good follow up so far.

Yeah, I liked to read it too. It was like being trapped in 9 1/2 Weeks online.

Holy cow! Who knew? I never read it. I stopped there one time and saw the comments that led to my first fight with Keith. After that, I depended on his spelling-challenged readers to tell me if there was something going on there. It’s good to go out on top, I suppose, but it’s seems to me to be a fine time to be peddling fear and rancor about real estate.
