Commercial Real Estate Investing: The Coming Depression?
Posted by: | Comments
Greetings from Cedar Crest, NM….still cold but no snow….what a shame.
Where is the good news? Where? There isn’t any!
All the talk of the “big three” automakers waiting for a bailout is unreal. I read that if just one of the big three were to go under….we would enter into a depression. Are you serious?….or is that just “hard talk” from an emotional economist?
Well, Emily reminded me of a blog I wrote back in February of this year. Actually…I did not write it….Glenn Beck did. Glenn (I can call him by his first name since we will be friends someday) wrote about Nouriel Roubini’s outlook on the economy. You can read the post HERE. Per Roubini, we are closer to a meltdown than most people think.
To make things a little more interesting (for a lack of a better word)…I got an invitation email to attend a webinar hosted by Harry S. Dent titled The Coming Depression – Investment Strategies in 2009 and Beyond. The email states “During the next coming depression…..” WOW!
So what to make of all this?
Well…..better to be prepared than sorry? Then how does one prepare? Is this Y2K all over again? You remember Y2K….not even a fizzle.
Enjoy these video? Well…enjoy is the wrong word…..
Roubini: Worst yet to come

Commercial Real Estate Articles And News # 3
Posted by: | Comments
Greetings from the 345th wonder of the world….Cedar Crest, NM
I am back from Durango, CO where I spent the week with my youth group. We joined a thousand other young adults at Fort Lewis College @ the CIY MOVE conference. It was amazing.
Anyway while I was at the conference, I decided to play Ultimate Frisbee with the young adults. The result? A ruptured achillies tendon. At first I just though someone kicked me in the calf…and kicked me hard. Well…it did not take long for my lower leg to swell up and bruise up. Funny thing is I looked up on the web, there was a medical site that said “Ruptured achillies tendon is common with middle age weekend warriors.” Wow….comment kinda hurt….because it is true.
Anyway…..
A lot…and I mean a lot is happening in the economy…but I do think the media is exaggerating the reality of what is really happening. For instance, there are a handful of cities that are bucking the trend and home values are steadily increasing. You really do not hear about cities like Mobile, Alabama, El Paso, TX, San Antonio, TX, or Raleigh, NC to name a few. In anycase…there is a lot of news….enjoy….
