INMAN NEWS advice on picking URL names to optimize search engine recognition.

I have struggled to understand how search engines work.  I think this article gives good advice to use the “long tail” search, and register related names to maximize the chances your URLs will be picked up by Google, Yahoo, and other search engines.

WELLCOMEMAT.COM real estate videos app is up and running.  It is a good idea .  It is also possible to create a channel on wellcomemat.   I’ll check back in a couple of months when there may be more videos posted and a more user friendly sign up.

INMAN NEWS REPORTS, the 10 year T bill is stuck at 3.55%,  fixed rate mortgages are still at almost 5.5%, and the 30 year T bond at 4.44%.

With the Fed printing money (i.e. ‘quantitative easing’ by the Fed buying treasuries) and doing everything it possibly can to create inflation, people shouldn’t be surprised bond and mortgage interest are more than 6.5% higher than the rate of inflation deflation.

Message to Obama:  heh, the $2 trillion the Treasury has to borrow by selling T bills and bonds to finance the national debt, the $1.8 trillion deficit and Stimulus, only 7% disbursed, ain’t agonna happen without higher interest rates ’cause the foreigners expected to buy ain’t a’ buyin’.

An’ if Bernake keeps a’ buyin’ Ts from the left Treasury pocket ($1 trillion this year) to put in the right Fed pocket ($2 trillion more) it will provoke foreigners ta’ mutiny an’ throw the dollar in the pond, ’cause it won’t be worth nothin’.

Obama: Everyone In The Water Now!!

THE ECONOMY OF THE US is going to crash and burn.  The prospective bailout of the financial markets by Congress won’t work.  Previous posts have stated why Chaos Theory applies to the financial and mortgage crisis today.  Chaos theory applies to all natural complex dynamical systems like markets, ecosystems, and weather.  For over 18 months the US financial system has been demonstrating a condition known as Negative Dynamical Volativity/Stability.  This is known in mathematics as the Butterfly Effect.

The dynamics of the financial and mortgage markets are sensitive to initial conditions (fragile).  This sensitivity manifests itself as an exponential growth of instability from the initial change of condition.  The cause of extreme instability is both architectural structure flaws, and flows (of money) over time.

The analogy is an airplane with a structural design failure.  As corrections are made to control the aircraft over time, there is increasing amplitude of failed control.  Without correcting both defective structure (regulations and organizational architecture) and the flow (of money) the market crashes.

The current crisis cannot be controlled without both organizational (institutions have disappeared that provided the structure with stability), regulation, and restoring the flow of money-liquidity.

Congress and Wall Street is ignoring the fact that an entirely new mortgage financing structure must be created instantly, institutions providing credit suddenly dead replaced, AND liquidity provided to be effective in creating market stability.  Congress is providing only bailout liquidity.

There is a high probability the economy of the US is gong to crash and burn within the next four months.  Fasten your safety belts.

Popular Mechanics explores the world of deck materials here.

Although redwood is by far the number one decking in California, this is changing.  Trex and other “plastic” deck material manufacturers are a growing share of the market.  Plastic polyurethane decking material is about the same price as redwood, and will last forever… or err… for a very long time.  I prefer Trex over redwood for decking material.
