friday free for all!

Its Friday free-for-all time here at Vancouver Condo Info, but this time its only a semi-free-for-all. Let's see if we can stay away from Hitler and religion on this thread and focus on economics and real estate. Here's a few stories I've noticed recently:

- Interest rates going down
- Mortgage rates going up
- Coventree outlook not good
- Inflation lowest in BC
- PM: Economic slowdown likely
- Another day, another $20 billion
- Harper says NO to ABCP bailout
- Subprime infection in the financials
- Calling bottom on the US market

So what are you seeing these days? Post your Hitler-free anecdotes, interesting links and news here!
