    10 Reasons To Look at 10 Oregon Stocks [view article]
    Excuse me but house prices are falling at a dramatic rate....especially in Bend and Central Oregon. The Salmon industry is finished and the eastern filbert blight is wiping out many hazelnut farms. One in five children go to bed hungry at night in Oregon. Oregon has close to the highest rate of suicide, meth use, unemployment and poverty in the nation since the loss of timber jobs and high tech....and it's tax hell....by standing on a two legged stool without a sales tax (drug dealers don't pay income tax) ....those who work are paying for those who do not work.....come on over to visit...and enjoy the rain for 200 days each year in the valley.

    I believe what the author was describing on #8 - revenue limits pertains to our property tax limitation. Oregon several years ago passed a limit to the general obligation portion of it's property tax - limited to $5/$1000 of assessed value. This limit can only be exceeded through state wide bond measures that are for specific governmental needs. Despite the limit, property taxes are still going up due to the dramatic increase in assessed values over the last 10 years. Reply

    Your picks are bad now, and it's gonna be incredible how much worse they are gonna look in the not too distant future.

    hope you plan more follow ups so we can see if you will stand behind these recommendations.     Reply
