Where would we be w/out a bail out?

1) In real terms, Granite countertops will be 50% more devalued as an “investment” than the mighty dollar – which is continuously plunging.

2) Just about now, the phrase “now, with so much inventory, it is the best time to buy a place” would be forbidden.

3) The majority of the RE articles in the MSM would be related to “why renting makes sense” and ” mobility is key to find good employment in a prolonged recession”

4) Irrational exuberance would have a true new meaning – such as a test required to pass the Broker’s license exam.

5) Your neighboorhood Bank would ask you to pick a house for 1/2 of what you are currently paying for rent w/out a lease/contract (as long as someone take care of the place)

6) The mediocre realtors will be looking for ways to get back to a Community College – but the budgets are cut – and there is a waiting list to take any math, finance, or econ classes.

7) Taking the dog out for a walk is a challenge because your pet is too distracted by the pets left behind in your neighboorhood – as a result of irresponsible investors.

I could go on & on…..but I’ll let the rest of you continue.

This brings up another related subject – already talked about here – WORLD ECON DECOUPLING. Apparently plenty of outside hedge funds are loosing their shirts.

A couple of weeks ago, a couple of my good friends, stock brokers, in some parts of the Eastern EU, were scrambling to understand what’s going on in the US financial markets and how come it affects their business? They were asking me for some info/links and a MACRO econ/financial prospective on where we are – and possibly the impact abroad. I’ve sent them some fine links, but ultimately – EVERYONE will suffer from this mess regardless of location (401k, hedge fund investor, financial institutions, insurance institutions, etc.). I’ve got to be honest the impact is greater than what I’ve envisioned.

I can tell you that I read a few e-newspapers from EU and yesterday – big print in the Econ section of some big newspaper – REAL ESTATE PRICES HAVE FORZEN (as opposed to growing 20% a year) – due to the US financial markets (it went on & on about US financial risks valuation – or lack there of – and the rest of the fiscal mantra)

There was a fine comment above “yes, the mess is contained to planeth earth” 🙂

Buffet on CNBC last night had a differnt view – when asked the same question. He mentioned specifically that the FED & Govt is paying only lip service to the problem (stron fiscal/monetary policy – a strong $), but their action have not change at all in the last 4-5 years. As a result, he (Buffet) forecasts the $ to drop significantly. He mention the value of 0.6 EURO / $1.00 – that’s a scary image. Yes, I travel to Europe every year – my trip will be more expensive (I have relatives/family, so I save on some hotels/meals – yet the trip is getting harder to achieve).

I would also back up anything from Canon or Nikon. For mobility, I would recommend the Canon Elph series.
