Clinton estimates U.S. housing losses at $1.9 trillion
2008-03-25 05:00:00 Hillary Clinton, on the presidential campaign trail, gave an audience at my alma mater, the U. of Pennsylvania, a real estate lecture today. An eye-catching snippet … When I talk about the home foreclosure crisis, sometimes people, I can tell, look at me a little skeptically because they, I can tell, they’re thinking to themselves, I didn’t buy one of those mortgages, I don’t have an ARM, I’m not at risk. But, in fact, that is just not the case. Home prices dropped almost 9% last quarter. Home prices for everyone. If you have paid off your home, if you have a fixed rate mortgage with a manageable interest rate, you have suffered the steepest decline on record. That means families have lost at least $1.9 trillion in housing wealth so far, nearly two-thirds of the size of the entire United States government budget. And today, nearly 9 million families are struggling with mortgages that are under water. They actually owe more for their mortgages than their ho...

Gates estimates war costs but calls it inaccurate
2008-02-07 12:04:00 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, pressed to estimate total war costs, said on Wednesday that Iraq and Afghanistan operations could cost $170 billion in 2009 but warned the figure was likely wrong. "I have no confidence in that figure," Gates told the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee. He said the Pentagon could not accurately estimate total war costs for next year before receiving full war funding for the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. Gates said he based the $170 billion figure on current expenditures in the wars. Gates also said the 2009 estimate will depend on what decisions are made about U.S. troop levels in Iraq after the top commander there, Gen. David Petraeus, makes his next recommendation to the president in March. The Bush administration this week asked Congress for $515.4 billion for the Pentagon in fiscal 2009 plus an additional $70 billion to pay for war operations for part of the year. Members of Congress,...

Canon Repair Estimates: What to expect
2008-01-31 00:43:00 photo by blmurchIs your Canon DSLR in need of repair? Wondering how much this is going to cost you?Having just been through the process with my Canon 20D, I thought I'd share some insight that might help others with the repair estimate. While your experience may vary greatly depending on the type of problem you're having, the basics will remain the same - as will the "Minimum Labor Charge" that we'll get into later.My Canon 20D Problem:The particular situation I was faced with was a camera that would take a couple of photographs and then lock up with the dreaded "Err 99" on the display. If you switched it off & back on, you could take a couple of photos and then you'd get the Error 99 once again! I tried all combinations of batteries, lenses, cards, cleaning, etc. - no dice (and everything works just fine on my other body). Uh oh!I'm guessing that the problem had something to do with the shutter mechanism. The ##D line of cameras don't have highly durable shutters (lik...

Construction Progress Estimates
2008-01-18 14:01:00 Establishing a Cost Control SystemIt is seldom that the original bid estimate to perform a particular construction activity is the same as the actual cost to do the work. It will always be higher or lower because of any number of unforeseeable factors. It is essential, therefore, if a contractor is to make a profit, to keep current on a project’s cost by maintaining a reliable cost control system. Changes in labor wages or productivity, labor shortages, increased cost of materials, delays in deliveries, accidents, weather conditions, etc., will affect both the cost and the original schedule. In all likelihood, both the cost and time will be greater than planned, scheduled, and estimated. Bar charts or Critical Path Method (CPM) planning systems are ideal for project control by timely updating. Maintaining a cost control system enables the contractor to analyze the productivity of workers, the performance and efficiency of equipment, and the proper allocation of overhead expenses. ...

Earnings Estimates for 2008 Appear Overly Optimistic
2008-01-17 13:58:00 Although fourth quarter earnings reports just started to trickle in, consensus estimates call for 2007 S&P 500 profits to be essentially flat with 2006. Given the huge year-over-year declines in the financial sector, the largest piece of the index, this is not very surprising.What is surprising is that analysts are projecting 2008 earnings to grow by more than 15%. We all know that analysts are rarely spot on with their forecasts, but the possibility of this number being accurate seems even less likely than normal. While the market's P/E using the current forward estimate (less than 14) is not high by any means, bullish investors hoping for a solid market gain this year (at or above historical averages) likely need strong earnings growth to make the case.Given the economic backdrop right now, a less impressive year in the market (more in line with last year) seems like a more reasonable expectation. As far as the economy goes, 2008 probably will be more of a "sorting out" year ...
