From the NYT, "The Foreclosure Pickings Are Plentiful but Not Easy," comes this classic quote from an "investor" in foreclosed properties:

“I’ve been good on picking up properties, but I haven’t been good on an exit strategy,” said Mr. Vela, who paid cash. “I’ve had to hold them longer than I originally liked. That’s O.K. That’s part of the game. It’s affected my holding times but not my profit.”

I apparently understand "profit" as little as I understand "loss." No wonder I'm just a blogger.
