What you think of the employment numbers today ?

Don't let any personal situation make you ignore the obvious. There's a recovery going on and it's going to be *marvelous*.

Time to chalk the stick and make $ with a well-place recovery play.

When I get a herd of people shouting to take shelter in the safety of their numbers, it gets extremely tempting to head the opposing direction. Don't let the herd do your thinking for you. When things really stink the opportunities for improvement are tremendous. When you see the sun shining, it is *way* too late.

Consider the massive influx of cheap investment American companies are receiving right now. They can pay their workers much less for the time being and these frightened workers are looking for anyway to contribute they can - any way to stand out. They need an edge. I'm seeing people work themselves day and night to keep their jobs trying to out maneuver the competition. Per hour worked, these companies are getting twice the return they once did and labor costs are everything to most companies. Productivity is through the roof. Good things are getting done that these companies never dreamed of just a few short years ago. New, more productive way of doing business are popping up all over the place. We're not just working harder, we are working smarter as well. We've never been so focused at any time since right after perl harbor. These aspects alone are providing a hurricane force tail wind to just about each and every company and much of that money will be reinvested right here at home.

Tremendous positive feedback loop getting going here. That force is America you see buckling down and getting the job done - working outselves out of the issues caused by past excesses.

If you're saying America is down and won't be getting back up, you are tragically mistaken. We'll work ourselves out of this funk soon enough and the market is going to reflect that.

The pendulum has swung way to far on the pessimistic side. Recognize it and profit. Maybe not tomorrow, but right quick.

Those that really took a hit and didn't recover will insist on being negative and congregrate with like-minded people. The negativity will keep them down and out a lot longer than if they just put on a smile and were willing to see the sun shining through the clouds.

Sh*t happens, the recent episode is over, get used to it.

All is well and its the holidays. For those that didn't head over the cliff with the other lemmings, its truly a time to rejoice as they have never been wealthier.

The recent down turn was the biggest opportunity in your lifetime. I'm sorry if you missed it, but those who were paying attention generally didn't.]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:34:17 -0500

Prices will appear to go down when the people bottom fish. In actuality, prices have not fallen all that terribly much at all for any given house. Prices of houses sold down 40% - I'll buy it. Price of houses in general - down maybe 20% tops.

You seem to think everybody know who you are and follows your every word. Something is seriously amiss with your grasp of reality. In turn, your article reeks of it.

You need to get out more often.

Tried that repeatedly for 2 years now. Khov will drop the price when hell freezes over. They'd rather sit on the assets and shake their signs till their hands bleed. You'll just be forced to move on after a lot of fruitless leg work.
