Nice...i love my cap one card! Does this mean that unsecured debt business is becoming so vulnerable they're paying premium to cover their margin calls? i'll create the the shell LLC if you finds some nice girls to open a bunch of accounts & we can start instantly saving these poor over strapped consumers! :)

i was paying my Pacific and Gas utility bill.....The line was very long....There were so many late for their payment, the cashier was checking the cut-off for the customers.....Most of them were two or three months behind...Mind you this is Sillycon Valley, houses average 3/4 million dollars a copy.....

the whole town is one big REO>>>>stuff under 250 is recieving multiple offers.....

you can buy 4 plexes for 100k that fetch 600 per unit....not kidding!!!

at 20% down your 20 k investment is paid back after a year with 3 of the 4 rented...roughly

Capital One just raised my wife's interest rate on her Capital One card...from 7% to 17.9%. No balance at all. A 10 year+ customer. Meanwhile, I would say monthly they send me solicitations for 0%, blah, blah, blah. These guys should be driven out of business for some of their tactics. Unfortunately, they are receiving money from the government. IT
