    Mortgage applications remain at 5-year highs

    Maybe that too. But, maybe it were the "flip" mentality that prevailed from top top to bottom. Many owned a home or few that they had no intention of making a "home", they were jes flipp'in. Works early on. But? Yes, it'll be interesting to see how it flops.

    Cerebus Hands Chrysler to UAW

    Self policeing organizations would/could be a good thing if they "hop to it" and the 40% that choose to contribute cause the 60% that don't to be in step. Regardless, I can't imagine the lessons that will be learned from such an experiment. It otta be good to watch.
