cups and balls: Thimblerig Foreclosure - An Old Game with a New Twist
- 04/14/15 05:00 AM
Sometimes you may hear it desribed as the "Shell" game or "Cups and Balls" but thimblerig is a magician's staple where three objects cover other smaller objects and seem to jump from one to the other, then back again or disappear completely. The game is almost 5,000 years old and persists unrelentingly. In the foreclosure version I have seen during the past few weeks it's the disappearing variety I would like to concentrate on. If banks think there's an investment potemtial in a property they buy it. The emotion that humans put into the equation has no value for an investor. Banks (6 comments)
