–in my haste, I forgot my original intent… I was/am a “bring it on” advocate. Not because I wish for pain, but because I wanted to invest in stocks and a home, but in a more sane environment. Personally, I want the band-aid ripped off already. With close family on wall street, I don’t feel happy about the blood in the street, but I do think we might be on our way to a more rational investing and home buying environment–unless the fed comes and prolongs the agony. Why pay for your mistakes, when you can get your grandchildren to pay for them–f’in bastards.

[quote=SD Realtor]Fantastic responses (with the exception of Breeze).

… I am an electrical engineer with a BSEE from UCSD and 20 years in the industry as well as owning my own brokerage for almost 6 years now. I will gladly match my intelligence and skill level in most any field against you at any time.

I sleep very well at night because I have always been honest and up front with all of my clients.

Your posts are pretty much jokes these days.
….Bring it on, it is on and by the looks of things, our current leaders don’t seem able to cope with it. Hopefully the new batch will.

[/quote]

SD: FYI your own brokerage is much, much more impressive than your BSEE, you should list it first!–speaking from one with a PhD from a more prestigious engineering school (no offense to UC).
Speaking as one whom ‘O’ scares the bejeezes out of, I hope you are right that his admin can cope. Unlike the anti-Bush bumper stickers “not MY president”, Obama is my president, though I voted against him. I think we all will need good luck in the next few years.

My two cents: the risk to the downside on the economy far outweighs the upside risk. I am in the Pasadena area and sold my home in 2005 (for reasons other than speculation), but decided not to re-buy since I believed prices were way out of line.
We’ve been renting ever since and glad of it. I’ve been in federal civil service jobs and private, right now I work for a FFRDC (as close as you get to civil service, w/o being it) as a senior person who brings in more money than I cost–and I am concerned about my job).
I’ve been very gloomy on the economy and every negative prediction I believed has come true or been proven optimistic. We are at the beginning of a crap-storm that will last, at least, through ’09. Stick it out. Unless you get a major deal, stick it out, prices are not going up anytime soon.
Give it until the spring, at least. Good luck.
