ummm... Warren bought the house *hoping* she could sell it for more money than she had purchased it for. She was speculating on property.

But some animals are more equal than others.

I don't have a problem with people hoping they could sell something for more money.

Where I draw the line is when people hope something happens to a family so that they can swoop in and profit off of their misery.

She bought a 200K plus house from someone dealing with the loss of a loved one for 30K... She is as much a vulture as the banksters.

One person is clearly hoping that something bad will happen so that they can profit.

Another person is profiting after the fact without actually hoping that something bad happened.
