Couldn't agree more. Until unemployment rates stabalize, meaning that more jobs are created than lost, publicly traded companies outperform Wall Street's expectations through revenue growth and not cost-cutting measures, and the consumer starts spending, take a look at the most recent decline in retail sales of 0.1% indicating that consumers are still in penny-pinching mode, the real estate sector, will be far from being "in the clear".
Agreed. This is why a partnership between China and the United States that will focus on clean-energy, which will enable the necessary scope, technology transfer and standards to emerge in the sector is needed and will enable clean energy to catapult to levels that are not attainable by a single nation.
