I think quite a few people with opinions are not responding as the star rating is 4/5, which is uncommon. ha!

'Hammer' HelmerFunny how you guys picked up on that so quickly. I&#39;ve tried explaining to Realtors and other LOs alike that the NEW LO Job Description is more tha originator, more than sales person, more than &quot;CMPS&quot; - it&#39;s EXPECTATION MANAGER. We have to manage our clients expectations, and to help adjust their belief system to be more in line with today&#39;s market conditions. With one strong blog post, you have done the same. Well said and good timing.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=43323" width="1" height="1">http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/mortgage_rates/blog/43270.aspx#43307Tue, 13 Jan 2009 06:58:31 GMT2bb7a989-b681-446d-a7f2-bd5f0562f228:43307Adam Quinonesmatt i believe they are onto our ploy. perhaps we should &quot;pull the chute&quot; before they come to fully understand the magnitude of the malarky we have been feeding them?!?!?<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=43307" width="1" height="1">http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/mortgage_rates/blog/43270.aspx#43298Tue, 13 Jan 2009 05:59:40 GMT2bb7a989-b681-446d-a7f2-bd5f0562f228:43298mcginnisGreat post! All this potentially irrational exuberance could use a bit of perspective, and you&#39;re doing a great job providing it. We&#39;re in such paradigm shifting times (sorry, but I couldn&#39;t think of a less &quot;buzzwordy&quot; buzzword) that I feel like we&#39;re all reaching for something to grab onto. Your technical analysis, coupled with great commentary, should help all readers in their ability to understand and convey how things are changing. Unless you&#39;re just making this stuff up as we go along...

This is what happens when you are away too long writing blogs of this magnitude, (lol).
