Any good investor will keep up with market information, trends and news items that may affect their investments. In my case, being good friends with several of the editors at CNBC biases me towards their news feeds and broadcasts (somewhat). This morning, I ran a little story about arson. It is not a new phenomenon, however, in times of housing downturns, arson and the accompanying insurance fraud seem to become more prevalent. This activity not only endangers lives, it also jacks up costs associated with the housing market for everyone else.
All news should be taken with a grain of salt, but sometimes, the news reports you see are notifying you of behaviors or trends that have been occurring without the majority of the population’s knowledge. This is no exception. Watch this video for example. –> CNBC Video
