ParticipantWow, some nice piggington input!
Something that really helped me was a book called, “Do What You Are,” by a husband and wife team, (last name Tieger). It helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses, allows you to make full use of your background, fine-tune some of the confusion when you are investigating something new, and then package yourself up for your new career.
You sound like you have some great experience, and now just want something you can sink your teeth into. What a great place to be!
ParticipantWe’re going to see this over and over again. Sad.
Everything that we’ve predicted is starting to come true.
What’s next?
February 1, 2007 at 8:40 AM in reply to: January Sales look strong some places and not so strong others #44586ParticipantWow, this is really great info! Thanks for posting sdrealtor!
Also, can you post price per foot for 2005, and 2004?I wonder if that drop is the same as what happened in the last local RE cycle? Does anyone have those figures from back then?
ParticipantYeah, Panama is quite different to Mexico. There is a huge ex-pat population down there. I have a friend who’s retired down there now. He loves it. Even more than Costa Rica.
ParticipantSouth of France, South Africa or Australia.
ParticipantSo well put, Sdrebear!
ParticipantI think it has to do with time and effort: he’s not got the time to attend the workshops, the effort is far greater on large lawsuits, and the pay-out isn’t for a long time. I think once he gets his head around the consumer stuff, he’ll get stuck into the other side of things.
Regarding the consumers: they are in waaaaaaaaaaaaay over their heads, and what he sees everyday is something unforseen (illness, job loss, divorce etc.) is throwing people who were living on the edge, right out of their homes. Very sad.
ParticipantCongrats on the sale! I was wondering what happened.
Yeah, this is going to get really ugly once the lawyers get involved. My bro-in-law is a bankruptcy attorney, and has been telling me scary stories. I’ve tried to convince him to post some of the more crazy ones here, but so far he’s just too busy. He did mention a workshop that he could attend if he was interested in getting more involved with the mortgage scam suits. Again though, he’s just too busy with bankruptcies to chase related mortgage fraud cases.
ParticipantThanks guys!
Perry, I contacted your man, and he already got back to me.
AN, I appreciate the offer. I will let you know if I need you.
Gotta love the freedome of a small business, but geez, it’s one thing after another some days!Participantucodegen,
Peiser’s letters were rejected by the editors of Science for good reason. Peiser has conceeded that his survey contained some errors, and he no longer doubts that “an overwhelming majority of climatologists is agreed that the current warming period is mostly due to human impact. However, this majority consensus is far from unanimous.”I pulled this from 5 minutes of research on Wikipedia, btw.
Sdnative,
I don’t have to provide any valid arguments for Climate Change. The science is in. It might not be unaimous, but there’s concensus, and that’s all that is needed within the scientific community. It is like when you go to the doctor. He doesn’t have all the answers, but he’s pretty sure, based on consensus and scientific study that if you overeat, and don’t exercise, you are setting yourself up for a heart attack. It’s not proven that all fat people will die of heart attacks, but there is consensus that it’s bad to be overweight.Participantucodegen,
Actually, I asked for the source of where there has been a study showing there are exactly the same amount of papers debunking global warming as there are proving it. Thanks for looking though.I’m glad you bring up Ms. Oreskes. I’m really interested in this whole subject, and a colleague of hers at UCSD took the time to write to me about her when I asked him some questions.
From one of his emails regarding denialists, and global warming:
“It is very important to realize that it is quite common and normal in science for new ideas and concepts to take hold unevenly and after considerable disagreement, and thus for some scientists to be left behind as science has progressed. Naomi Oreskes of UCSD has written eloquently and at great length about the history of how continental drift and plate tectonics eventually became settled science. It took a long time. There wasn’t a uniform eureka moment at which everybody agreed on the new ideas, and some eminent experts in fact went to their graves without accepting them.” ~ Richard Somerville, Phd.You can see how the above applies to the field of climate change. Just as Bush was not on the band-wagon before, he’s now willing to talk about it.
All you others better jump on Bush’s band-wagon too. Perhaps with enough spin, you guys can claim you were the ones to first start solving the problem!
ParticipantWell in the last year, several prominent Evangelicals have stepped forward and said they do believe in global warming, and that as good Christians, they believe they have a duty to protect Earth and the environment. So, we’re seeing some change in those circles.
I’d say the mere fact that the President even mentioned Climate Change last night in his speech is a good sign.
ParticipantI have a friend who produces organic pesticide from orange oil. They are a local firm. Business is booming!
ParticipantYeah, in fact just last week, Exxon said they would no longer be funding their ‘anti-global warming think-tank.’
If Exxon’s not going to even fund it, you know the arguement’s dead in the water. Geez, even our Pres said last night it’s a problem we’ve got to solve.
