• Foreclosures Continue Retreat
  
  RealtyTrac released its June 2006 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report Tuesday, and the report shows a trend you may not have expected if youve been reading some recent headlines: foreclosure activity actually slowed in June from the previous month. When or if that other shoe will drop remains to be seen, but for now it appears that the so-called housing market bubble has stood up quite well to the various slings and arrows that threaten to puncture it. Posted 07-21-2006 8:00 AM by The total number of foreclosures dipped below 90,000 for the first time this year, significantly lower than the 117,000-plus reported in February. So, despite myriad predictions otherwise, it appears that foreclosures are not spiraling out of control -- although they are up significantly from last year.

• Will Main Street Sink Wall Street?
  
  Furthermore, to contain the damage, Bear Stearns brought in Jeffrey Lane on June 29, from rival Lehman Brothers and named him chief executive officer to replace Richard Marin, who gets the courtesy title of senior adviser to the asset-management division. While it is unlikely to bring down the savvy Wall Street firm, the firm may become a potential target for government regulators, class-action lawsuits and expose the investment bank to a hostile takeover.
