market: Do Down Payment Assistance Programs Exist? - 03/03/08 11:52 AM
Do Down Payment Assistance Programs exist? Loan agents will know more about this than I could ever put in a few sentences, but a true DAP is like Nehemiah where they “gift” the borrower all the down payment funds in return for charging the seller a fee. These work almost exclusively … (1 comments)

market: Round Two For Bernanke - 02/28/08 06:10 PM
Do Fed chairmen always say, “"the FOMC...will act in a timely manner as needed to support growth and to provide adequate insurance against downside risks."? When wouldn’t this be the case?
