Finding gold in them thar foreclosures + Mortgage rates scream buy, but who is listening?

[mEDITate-OR:
go mining for the wrong met(d?)als...

This rather interesting story - no graphs or charts - was picked up by almost everyone. Even CR put it up on their site - so it has to be good.

Although it is an "anecdotal story", it still is one of the best views we have been given about what it's like out there in "foreclosure land".

Live and learn.
