The latest report from Prudential, courtesy of For What It's Worth, shows an eyepopping increase in the inventory of $6 million+ houses for sale in Greenwich, CT, growing at 164% in 2009 compared to 2008.

I'd have guessed you would care more about, and have a more interesting comment on, Scholes recent recommendation to tear up OTC derivatives. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aBDLzTYzuxl0&refer=home
tsk patience people. everything will be presented. there are two whole prebailout days to fill with links.
but keep em coming.
an mr scholes will not be spared when if/when we get to his crusty, petrified and frankly irrelevant opinion on cds
btw, for those who really can't wait, working on exposing a major financial co with $19bn of debt and cds trading just north of 100bps for the true GECC type failure it is... stay tuned.
