NEW YORK (CNBC) — The supply of empty homes for rent is falling, and the nation’s homeownership rate is hovering near a fifteen year low.
How can that be when the housing market is finally turning around and more homes are selling? …

VANCOUVER (Silver Gold Bull) — In Part I of this series, I discussed the latest chapter in Western bankers’ newfound love-affair with gold.
Indeed, as central banks around the world swap their own paper for gold at the fastest pace in history, it’s quite clear which monetary asset these charlatans really believe is a “barbarous relic.”
After bad-mouthing gold for decades (and continuing to get their media trolls to attempt to frighten people away from gold today), we are currently witnessing history’s greatest “bash and buy.” …

NEW YORK (TheGoldAndOilGuy.com) — The phrase “stock market predictions” represents a very controversial topic and seems to carry a negative or non-credible overtone to most traders, investors and the general public.
We all know you cannot predict the market with 100% certainty, but you can still correctly predict the market more times than not if you do things right.
Keep in mind that the term “market prediction” is also known as a market forecast or technical analysis outlook and is nothing more than an estimate of where the price for a specific investment is likely to move in the coming minutes, hours, days, weeks and even months. …

NEW YORK (CNBC) — A home is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it.
We could end it right there, but for the fact that in the middle of the most closely-watched housing recovery in history, the sheer number of monthly and quarterly home price reports has proliferated to the point of almost weekly readings. …

NEW YORK (Trefis) — Over the past few months, cash-strapped Chesapeake Energy has faced several headwinds as its leadership team misgoverned and aggravated the operations already marred by rock-bottom gas prices. A policy crisis and the alleged involvement of its top management in illegal activities have been a characteristic of Chesapeake in the past few months.
The company is set to crown a new chairman and replace as many as four members on its nine-member board, with activist billionaire investor Carl Icahn playing a central role. We think this move will help reinforce its strategies and make it less vulnerable to external factors. This news should bring about some respite to the investors; however, it is still a long journey for Chesapeake to rise to yesteryear’s highs from a profitability standpoint, especially with rock bottom gas prices.

The current market price for Chesapeake is converging toward the Trefis price estimate of $19 with improving investor sentiment surrounding the stock. …

Germany signaled that it may give Greece some much-needed breathing room in its bailout timetable today, as European leaders cheered the victory of Greece’s pro-bailout leaders this weekend. “We’re ready to talk about the time frame as we can’t ignore the lost weeks and we don’t want people to suffer because of that,” says Germany’s foreign minister.
Reuters notes that Greece’s bailout amount would have to rise should the country be given an extra year to hit its targets. …

When Mitt Romney visited Iowa last month, he released an ad highlighting struggling, unemployed Iowans — which sort of irked Terry Branstad, the state’s Republican governor. “My state is seeing significant growth,” Branstad tells the Wall Street Journal, saying he didn’t know why Romney tried to stress unemployment in a state with a 5.1% jobless rate.
He’s not alone. In a lot of key battleground states — like Virginia, Ohio, and Florida — Romney’s message of economic gloom puts him at odds with governors from his own party. …

NEW YORK (CNBC) — Finding reasons not to like the current stock market doesn’t take much work, as the faltering U.S. economy, European debt crisis and looming fiscal cliff makes the job pretty easy.
But devising a list to be bullish — after one dismisses the usual “stocks are cheap” and “best house in a bad neighborhood” platitudes — takes some work, especially if your natural inclination is that the market is heading lower. …
