- Chicago Mercantile Exchange Presentation
- This is a PDF link to a PowerPoint made by the CME on October 5, 2005
- Chicago Merc Annouces Futures
- This single press release is going to change real estate investing as much as the farming futures changed the work and profit of farms.
This change is like going from the agricultural-age to the industrial age. Real estate investing is going to become a new science and only the well trained will know how to beat the market every time. - White Paper on S&P CSI
- The newly named S&P Case-Shiller Index (CSI) for Housing Price is the basis for the new housing price futures.
This white paper makes a case for using S&P CSI's vs the government repeat sales data or the median price data of the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

Broker's Universe seems to see us all broker...
Lester Dominick, president of MortgageFlex, told Broker's Universe that the OREO (other real estate-owned -- aka Bank Foreclosures) tsunami should hit later this year or early next.
He expects the first bloodletting will occur in investor properties.
Quote: "They're going to get creamed."
He expects the Miami and Las Vegas markets could suffer the most.
I say don't get creamed, get educated.

Real Estate Bubble Fact or Fiction?
Fox News--Can you be fair and balanced about the bubble?
This is the best written piece I've found on the dangers of denial of the bubble by Paul B. Farrell
LOS ANGELES - Back during the '70s recession I was a real estate expert with Morgan Stanley.
We helped banks and REITs work out billions of loser portfolios, reorganize, file bankruptcy, even advised the U.S. Dept of Housing & Urban Development.
But oddly, like the rest of America, I don't think about the housing bubble that's about to pop.
We ignore the coming storm.
But when it's about my family's home - well, suddenly I'm shocked out of my denial.
The shocker?
I just learned my area that could see a devastating 55.8% decline in home prices.
In fact, most of the real estate from San Francisco to San Diego is predicted to decline 50%.
Ouch!
So offers former Goldman Sachs investment banker John Talbott in his new book, "Sell Now! The End of the Housing Bubble."

Real Estate Sales
Hosing on Hold?
In the last week, the Commerce Department reported that January sales of new single-family homes fell 5 percent - the fourth decline in seven months - and the backlog of unsold new homes hit a record.
And the National Association of Realtors (NAR) said used home sales slipped 2.8 percent in January, the fourth straight drop and 5 percent below January 2005.
This is a serious sign of the end of a boom and perhaps the start of a bust.

More shocking stats and a link to an article
Consider:
* 42% of all first-time buyers put down nothing. More than two-thirds put down almost nothing.
* They don't pay back a dime of principal. One-third of all mortgages are now interest only.
In California, about half of all mortgages are interest-only. In the Bay Area, make that two-thirds.
* Lots of buyers are skipping occasional monthly payment and adding the difference to their debt.
* More than 1/3 of all home sales involve second homes, usually speculations.
Florida is packed with condos that no one lives in - up to 40% of "home" sales in some markets!

Real Estate Seminar to Beat the Bubble
Whole Truth Real Estate Event Day 1
Well, day one in San Diego was a total success.
First, this small group of qualified investors raised money for Unitus.com a microfinance lender with the goal of eliminating poverty worldwide though entrepreneurship.
At the same time, Donna Fox and me (Paulie Sabol) introduce Bubble Basics, what causes a bubble and what make a boom market and a bubble market.
Then I spoke about real estate futures...and frankly I was nervous. I didn't know if investors would care.
They ate up more material than I had in my slides, boy did the love it. I'm going to do a bonus session tonight, me thinks.
Alex and Dan, presented the use of options to beat the bubble. Basically, in a nutshell, if you don't own it, it can't hurt you. And if you risk only $10 to control it, what's your risk?
Of course, real estate options are just like equity options and other option derrivatives.
Finally, the day ended with the ever energetic Bill Twyford. Investors laughed and were shocked to learn just how many objections from bankers, owners, and others they couldn't handle.
Bill on the other hand could handle them at a mile a minute.
I'm back on stage in 1 hour so time to go.
