The Joys of RSS

If you are like many Doom readers, you may find yourself checking the site 3, 4, 15 times a day, coming back to get your housing bubble fix.  You may be wondering if there is a patch, a cure, something to alieve this condition.  Sadly, there is not.  Fortunately, there is something that can make your life a little easier.

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a location on this site which provides excerpts from our newest articles, complete with actual links to the article.  While this will not cure cancer, reverse male pattern baldness, or let the cat in at night, it can do some useful things:

  • You can be alerted within minutes of a new post coming out
  • You can get excerpts of the newest articles for use on your site
  • You can see the latest housing bubble news on a customized portal page

Usually Doom readers aren’t shy. Take K for instance. The other day he burst open the gates of Castle to announce a new insight about Lennar. He proposes the HB as a sort of anti-DavidLereahWatch. Lennar seems so grounded in reality that they could serve as an antidote to NAR’s Chief Economist. K even proposes we should institute a whole "Lennar" Category to index their forecasts. We’re not quite ready to do that yet, but on K’s say-so we’re certainly going to study their activity and announcements with renewed vigor. K is typical. Doom readers, even the occassionally hostile REIC types who drop in, are usually straight-ahead, even straight for the jugular communicators. Doom usually doesn’t do subtle.

So we were all taken aback when right in the middle of holiday preparations at the Castle there came a gentle tapping at the window by a reader we’d never heard from before. After some hushed back-and-forth, there emerged information that not only lifted our eye-brows, it raised the hairs on the backs of our necks.

Follow us down the rabbit hole if you dare. Doom commenter Old Mike isn’t going to like it but remember, … we’re talking about the single most important economic event in the last hundred years.
