'''"Shadow Inventory" Of "Distressed Homes" To Hit "Real Estate Market"'''<br />
A wave of distressed residential properties may flood an already saturated residential real estate market in the coming months, according to CoreLogic, "a leading provider of consumer, financial and property information, analytics and services to business and government." There was an 11 month supply of "distressed homes" in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro area in August. (CoreLogic defines "distressed homes" as residential property with mortgage payments more than 90 days delinquent or in foreclosure.) The "globalized free market" system's built-in stabilizers automatically correct marketplace deviations like "shadow inventories" of "distressed homes"--brought about by the continuing criminal enterprises carried out on Wall Street, in corporate boardrooms of major multinational corporations, and in the halls of Congress<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/sep/14/real-ira-targets-banks-bankers Real IRA says it will target UK bankers]</ref>--by bailing out distressed banks, paying outlandish bonuses to "investment bankers," and making homeless serfs out of everyone else.<br />
