Forget the Zombie banks, these giant slow moving zombies can easily be avoided by nimble businesses and investors (- just make sure you've got enought ammo), but the zombie homeowners in California, Florida and Nevada are really going to drag on the economy. These pitiful creatures have been infected by the "Option ARM" virus (believed to have been invented in a lab on Wall Street) Their finances are totally infected and they don't want to be "cured". The infection typically has a five year incubation period but when it is activated, well, it wipes out second mortages, and leaves huge holes in bank balance sheets. Worse, these zombie consumers typically expend all their financial resources trying to save their home instead of cutting out the infection as soon as possible and accepting the loss of their house. While the banks like this (they do get a few more payments) the long term effect is to create a "zombie" consumer, alive but unable to consume more than brains (on sale at the supermarket). This has already spilled into the regular economy leaving investors looking at all their stocks to see if the infection has spread. This Foolish investor doesn't see much of recovery coming, because housing (or autos) typically leads any recovery. Zombie consumers are buying either any time soon. [more]
