Interesting perspective by Fannie Mae. I have invested in real estate my adult life and have bought over 100 residential properties.(1-4 units). In Oklahoma I see Fannie, Freddie and FHA turning over documents to DOJ for prosecution in cases like James has been indicted for fraud. 1. James...

Looks like a Chinese company has caused another ecological issue in the copper belt. Requiring the mining companies to post a bond significant enough to cover damages would improve mining practices. Instead a paltry amount goes into politicians pockets to look the other way...

Humorous point taken! ;) :ROFLMAO: Two monarchys Two emperors Five republics Since the exciting Robespierre/Jacobin/guillotine days. In reality America seems to be doing quite well. The only Crown Jewels we have are secured by Fruit of the Loom.
