Natural disasters are dramatically impacting Latin American economies. But the region could become a global leader in boosting green solutions. The year 2023 cost Latin American economies an estimated $20 billion in destruction from natural calamities: the highest total since Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in 2017. Numbers-wise, the regional impact and cost are in line with such events elsewhere on the planet.

It’s over 50% in some areas. I remember the huge HPA before the bubble burst and we had the Great Recession. When prices dumped people and the government blamed appraisers for the values.

Becasue they wanted the poor borrowers to think that the home was appraised and the lender ACCEPTED the value… FRAUD! Those poor borrowers they are being led down a very dark path. Then we have borrowers providing ROV’s, Borrowers saying what they think their home is worth…TAIL WAGGING THE DOG AGAIN!

Selling the news is a common trading strategy in which traders buy a stock in anticipation of expected news, then sell once the event occurs. It's a short-term strategy based on the psychology that the unknown is frequently better or worse than the known. Once traders have time to interpret the news, they find that it won't mean much for the long-term outlook for the stock.
