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.

"I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy," Trump said in a 2006 audiobook from Trump University, answering a question about "gloomy predictions that the real estate market is heading for a spectacular crash."

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.

You are still missing the point.

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.


You can rip off old ladies as long as you have the right emotions while doing it.

I'm not sure you know what that means...

It's pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune. If you buy and take a risk it's no more or less schadenfreude if you buy knowing it's a sure thing.

Here sit the difference.... Trump is *honest* about it.

Trump was quoted as saying that he hoped for a housing collapse so he could go in and make money. If that isn't schadenfreude I don't know what is.

As a Professor at the University of Houston Law School Elizabeth Warren taught Bankruptcy Law.

She knows how to use the system to buy foreclosures and distressed real property.

One takes a risk and the other is a vulture....

The risk taker buys hoping that what they buy can be sold for more money later on..
The vulture finds a tragity that's already happened and starts to feed..

I'm assuming the issue here is that Warren was getting on Trump's case for doing the same thing she's doing? That would make her a hypocrite at least, though the actual flipping of houses by itself is fine. Of course, if she was also blaming speculators for the meltdown, and she's also speculating...

On a different tack, do you mean that my buying put options on BP stock after the Deepwater Horizon blew up makes me a vulture? Or simply a risk-taker?

So, Trump hoping for an opportunity to make money off of distressed properties is a "financial Hate Crime" and indication of a a horrible human being while fake Indian ***** conducting the same financial transactions is somehow more noble?

This is why Hate Crime laws are so stupid. For murders, in both cases someone is dead. For the housing collapse, in both cases someone is out of a house. The reasons are immaterial. To assign Orwellian "thought police" intent criteria to either action is merely political foreplay for a targeted audience.

Yep, very stupid.

I don't have an issue with what either Trump or Warren did (except for the hypocrite part), unless they did something to cause the property to be cheap, obviously that would be different, but I doubt that's the case here.

There is?

Please explain.

Which is "worse" in your opinion?

Profiting off those that have been hammered, or rolling the dice and seeing if it happens again? Hmmmm.

Keep kicking those already on the curb, fitty. You're a man of the people. 03-lmfao

Anyone who takes a short position on anything is hoping that he/she is correct, meaning that they hope the price drops. It's a part of our markets, this is a nonissue.

So just so I'm 100% sure, fit with this statement you're stating that the following are evil/wrong? (and who knows you may never have done just the ones I can think of)

1) Never by a adjustable rate mortgage
2) Never put your money in the stock market.
3) All gambling is bad too, so no trips to casinos, horse-tracks, or lottery tickets.

I'm sure there's probably a few I'm missing too?

Let me be clear. I'm talking about hoping for something negative to befall your fellow man.

1.Personally, I have taken advantage of adjusted interest rates, however, I did not wish bad on anyone so that I could get it.

2. I took my money out of the stock market in 2007. I was never comfortable with making money in that way. I don't generally like to make money on interest. I think it's immoral.

3. While I don't really like to gamble and I do in fact think it's a sin, I have on occasion purchased scratch off lottery tickets.

Yup...

If you see a news story which gives you the idea gas is going to go up tomorrow and you run out to fill your tank then you are a speculator.

Yes, one is actually profiting from it, while the other is only hoping to.

So, hoping is worse than acting. Thanks for clearing that up.
