3. “A picture is word a thousand words.”
Fred R. Barnard in the advertising trade journal Printers' Ink,
promoting the use of images in advertisements that appeared
on the sides of streetcars.[1] The December 8, 1921 issue
carries an ad entitled, "One Look is Worth A Thousand Words."
Another ad by Barnard appears in the March 10, 1927 issue
with the phrase "One Picture is Worth Ten Thousand Words,“
The Home Book of Proverbs, Maxims, and Familiar Phrases
quotes Barnard as saying he called it "a Chinese proverb, so
that people would take it seriously." Soon after, the proverb
would become popularly attributed to Confucius.

13. Servicing Settlement Announced Feb 9, 2012
• The largest federal-state civil settlement ever obtained and
is the result of extensive investigations by federal agencies,,
and state attorneys general and state banking regulators
across the country. The joint federal-state group entered
into the agreement with the nation's five largest mortgage
servicers: Bank of America Corporation, JPMorgan Chase &
Co., Wells Fargo & Company, Citigroup Inc., and Ally
Financial Inc. (formerly GMAC).
“The agreement also requires substantial changes in how
servicers do business, which will ensure the abuses of the
past are not repeated.“-Sec. Donovan

14. Next Steps Re Investigation of Possible Mortgage Abuses in
Origination and Securitization
• “The agreement does not prevent the
government from punishing wrongful
securitization conduct that will be the focus of
the new Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities
Working Group. The United States also retains its
full authority to recover losses and penalties
caused to the federal government when a bank
failed to satisfy underwriting standards on a
government-insured or government-guaranteed
loan.” Sec. Donovan

15. • Current housing recovery underperforms previous
recoveries.
• Shadow supply of housing has remained elevated.
• New homes for sale at all-time low, new completed
homes for sale the lowest since 1971.
• Slight increase among Renters who consider renting
to be superior to ownership…and as a result, we are
seeing more single-family homes moving back into
rental stock.
• Doug Duncan, VP & Chief Economist
• Fannie Mae, December 13, 2011

16. SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Ryan Ratcliff
University of San Diego Asst. Professor of
Economics
Dec. 13, 2011
• Recent signs do show CA and US economy improving, but still not a
robust recovery.
• CA will likely see a tepid and uneven recovery through summer
2012(1-1.5% job growth), and pick up some momentum into 2013.
• SD and Bay Area do better, while other regions lag. High tech and Bus
Serv. are the bright spots, but little progress in lower/middle income
jobs (Mfg & Construction).
• Weak job market and continued pipeline of distress sales suggest
home prices drift sideways, with some pickup next summer.
