Housing and other fun subjects
Kevin Depew at Minyanville has some fun with David Lereah, former Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors (NAR) best known for being totally wrong on the housing market. Many call him the Laughable Lereah and his successor, Lawrence (the Yuckster) Yun is following in his big shoe (mis)steps by revising the overly optimistic NAR forecast for the umpteenth straight month.
But you know what they say about an economist's forecasts ... wrong 
Kevin pokes a little fun at the title revision of Lereah's classic book and offers some suggestions for future title revisions.
Kevin suggests:
2007: "Why the Real Estate Boom Will Not Bust and How Foreclosures are Technically Part of the Continuing Real Estate Boom, In a Way."
2008: "Why the Real Estate Boom in Distressed Properties Will Not Bust (except in certain local markets) and How You Can Use Leverage to Profit From It."
2009: "Why the Phrase "Real Estate Boom" is Often Misunderstood to Mean Higher Prices and How You Can Pray for Them."
2010: "Why the Real Estate Boom Will Soon Bounce Back and How to Eventually Profit From It."
2011: "Why Did I Have to Write "The Real Estate Boom Will Not Bust Through the End of the Decade" and How Did I Not Realize How Long A Decade Really Is?"
2012: "Oh, Dear God, Please, Please Let the Real Estate Boom Bounce Back... and How You Can Profit From It."
2013: "Please, Please, Just Let the Real Estate Boom Come Back This One Time for This One House and How You Can Break Even From It."
2014: "Why I Am Willing to Accept a Small Loss of 35% On the Real Estate Boom and No Longer Care About How to Profit From It."
2015: "Why Can I Maybe Borrow a Couple Dollars Off You Until the Real Estate Bust is Over?"
