I have a new suggestion for solving the Subprime problems and the housing market price declines. You ready? I bet each of those houses has at least two sinks(bathroom and kitchen) and depending on whether they were jumbo mortgages with lots of bathrooms the foreclosure fortresses might even have 5 or more. So each troubled homeowner should remove their sink(s) preferably with the help of a plumber but if you are a do-it-yourselfer you could click here for some instructions. Once removed, the homeowner should promptly throw it in the front yard and then make a public announcement to all the neighbors that the worst is behind them. This strategy seems to be working exceedingly well with financial stocks like C, UBS, MER, and WM so I thought it might do the same to make troubled homeowners feel better and increase the value of their home.  Of course, I am joking and I don’t want to see sinks in the front yards of America.  However, I have a sinking feeling that the tactics of our financial sector is a big joke as well.
