Alberta Bubble: February 2009

http://albertabubble.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Analysis of the real estate bubble in Alberta. Friday, February 20, 2009. Thriving in the Recession(Depression). The downturn many of us here had predicted, but no one particularly wished for, at least in the schnadenfreude way, is here. The deniers are still in huge numbers. But with every day of falling markets, fall in prices, canceled sales orders, interviews that do not convert and bills that do not get paid, their numbers will dwindle. Here’s what I’m doing? 8226; Saving lots of money. And that mea...

Alberta Bubble: And then they'll say they never saw it coming

http://albertabubble.blogspot.com/2010/01/and-then-theyll-say-they-never-saw-it.html

Analysis of the real estate bubble in Alberta. Thursday, January 7, 2010. And then they'll say they never saw it coming. Almost all the 'institutional liars' claim that they never saw the financial crisis coming. In the Canadian context, we were told that there won't be any recession. Prior to that, circa 2007, there was not even a brief mention of a housing bubble anywhere, except at places like this blog. In local Calgary classified for a 50 year old apartment building:. 4 One Bedroom Suites 600 sf /-.

Alberta Bubble: May 2009

http://albertabubble.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Analysis of the real estate bubble in Alberta. Friday, May 29, 2009. Happy days are here again. Up to 91 cents and change. Will we see parity again soon? Who knows. Ontario and Quebec are going to be in more trouble and manufacturing hit again. Oil up to $66. Are we going to see $100 oil again? Who knows. In any case, we sure seem to be running out of space for holding the excessive oil produced during the last several months. Posted by Gloria White. Labels: albert oil sands. Monday, May 18, 2009.

Alberta Bubble: March 2009

http://albertabubble.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Analysis of the real estate bubble in Alberta. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. GDP back to 2007 level. It just took 4 months to completely wipe out the 'growth' of last 2 years. January's GDP fell by an annualized 8.4%, taking the total GDP. Back to the levels last seen in 2006. Is it possible that we'll undo the growth of the last 7 or 8 years of the debt fueled bubble before this is all over? I wouldn't rule that out? In other news from closer home, the drilling industry is talking about utilization at levels.

Alberta Bubble: October 2009

http://albertabubble.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Analysis of the real estate bubble in Alberta. Friday, October 30, 2009. Growing economy, more jobs and other lies. Why is it that every contraction in GDP called 'unexpected'? Or every decline in jobs seen through the eyes of economist who never saw it coming? Why do all these economics have to constantly bullish projections? I think I know the answer-they are the cheerleaders for their respective sell side institutions, including the central banks. Here's the headline from Globe and Mail:. Too bad, Can...

Alberta Bubble: November 2009

http://albertabubble.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Analysis of the real estate bubble in Alberta. Friday, November 20, 2009. Short term rates in the US are negative again. There's certainly the fear of inflation that is about to be unleashed imminently, but for now, TBTB know that there's nothing to be afraid of by getting fully into short term UST. Here's an interesting perspective on the reflation. Trade- what if the commodity boom fueled since early spring is not based on solid sustainable demand? Have a good weekend everyone.

Alberta Bubble: China Bust Scenario

http://albertabubble.blogspot.com/2009/12/china-bust-scenario.html

Analysis of the real estate bubble in Alberta. Friday, December 18, 2009. An interesting post from Mish. Of great interest should be the video below where in a brand new huge city has been built with the obvious motivation of boosting the GDP numbers. Mal-investments? Leaving aside all other cases such as higher interest rates, CMHC, real estate speculation, this is the real wild card that not too many people want to talk about. Why? Because they don't see it happening. Posted by Gloria White. Of great i...

Alberta Bubble: April 2009

http://albertabubble.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Analysis of the real estate bubble in Alberta. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. The welfare queens and kings of Wall Street have already decided to start partying like it were 2007,. The OPEC ministers sing the same tune saying that a fairly high price o f $50 is not good enough and is 'undermining economy.'. Can someone say the definite collapse in the mid east asset markets and Klein style cuts in not too distant future. Natural gas btw. At a more local level, thousands of 'landlords' are wishing that the rece...
