If You Thought the Housing Meltdown Was Bad… Doug Hornig, Senior Editor, (Casey Research):

…wait until you see what’s in the cards for commercial real estate.

That’s right, the next train wreck will be in commercial real estate. Couldn’t be worse than last year’s residential market crash? That remains to be seen. But it’s coming soon, probably as early as the second quarter of next year, and there’s nothing that can prevent it. The government will intervene, trying desperately to delay the day of reckoning, and may even succeed. For a while. But make no mistake about it, that train is going off the tracks no matter what.

Every part of the sector – from multifamily apartment buildings to retail shopping centers, suburban office buildings, industrial facilities, and hotels – has accumulated a huge amount of defaulted or nonperforming paper. It’s an impossible, swaying structure that cannot long stand.

Just ask Andy Miller.

Vimovo Demonstrates Benefit Over Naproxen Yesterday, at the American College of Gastroenterology meeting in San Diego, Pozen (POZN) released data from two phase III trials comparing Vimovo (formerly PN400) to enteric-coasted naproxen (ECN) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who are at risk of developing NSAID-associated gastric ulcers. The data demonstrated that patients taking Vimovo experienced significantly greater reduction in severity of dyspepsia (SODA) and overall treatment evaluation for dyspepsia (OTE-DP) compared to patients taking ECN. The OTE-DP results showed 43-46% of the patients on Vimovo reporting positive change at month six vs. only 28-34% on ECN. The results were highly statistically significant. Plus, patients taking Vimovo also had discontinuation rates far below ECN, at 3-5% vs. 11-12%, respectively. The safety of Vimovo was also superior to ECN, with only 2% of the patients experiencing erosive duodenitis as compared to 10-14% for ...

Helped by the "first-time home buyer" tax credit and other forms of government assistance, home prices -- as measured by the Case Schiller Composite 20 index -- rose for the third straight month, up 0.97%, but still down 11.36% on a year-over-year basis, and off 29.89% from its May 2006 peak (note below when I reference peak levels they are from May 2006, not from the individual city peaks, which might have been a few months before or after the national peak). Since home prices do exhibit a fair amount of seasonality, I am working with the seasonally adjusted numbers. Most of the press has a habit of tracking the unadjusted numbers, which I feel is a mistake. So realize that the numbers presented here might be different from what you read in the newspaper tomorrow. A total of 16 of the 20 cities registered price increases, ...
