  2. I totally fell that many sophisticated investors (RE/ Wall Street guys)) will grab up as many assets as they have power to buy from these bigger banks...many of them have to re-stabilize these bad banks to get them performing again so in contrast must sell these assets in bulk for steep prices to start continuing to make new loans...by the way I love your system LG
