Where you at?

Party~Party~Party
DANCE DANCE DANCE

Sorry. I was out getting ice for the keg. Have a beer.

I have passed the 500 milestone. What a ride. I have learned so much and it will be this knowledge that allows me to retire well:D

Lovin the debates too and the sharing. After this party, I'll be doing some real work for awhile. Another deadline has loomed it's head at last, but <woo hoo> I made it to 500. Have another beer on me:nuts:

47.5 years to catch up to Birchtree's 10,000 post - priceless:laugh:
Next year I may have more time to work on catching up:cheesy:
 
Let's see, you've been with us for about 2.5 years. If I'm doing the math correctly, you'll catch up to Birthtree's 10,000 posts in 47.5 years. :)

Thanks for all of your contributions!

Well, thanks for the beer (don't tell my coworkers)

Tom...QUALITY...NOT QUANTITY!!!!:laugh:
 
An observation:

There have been a few restaurant closures in my area lately. All have said that it is due to the economy. However, that is exasperated by the high rents that these restaurants paid for the space ($4500/month in one case). As these restaurants leave and the commercial owners need to find paying renters, will they lower their rents? There is some indication that they will initially try to get that previous rent, but if they stay empty, the rent must decrease or the commercial owners could default. (One of these properties is owned by a millionaire businessman, so he can afford to keep it empty until someone comes along willing to pay his rental fee). So, are we months away from a commercial property bubble burst? Or are there people with capital ready to take a chance on this economy and open a business in these empty rental spaces weather or not the rent is lowered?

I see alot of closed store fronts and not any new businesses moving in. How long can this last before commercial properties start to have trouble or will a recovering economy head this off? How can the economy recover if all the employees of those closed businesses can't find work?

Was Dubai was first sign of coming commericial defaults? Is that why the market is not rebounding - the truth is too risky to allow the bulls to run like they have done since March?

I am wondering how commericial real estate defaults will affect the bond market (and the F fund). Any thoughts out there:cheesy::D
 
Just a quick shoutout to all those on the message board.

I'm still in F waiting for a retest of the March 2008 lows when the banks who invested their TARP and other bailout money into the stock market in March start taking their profits. It will be interesting this year. The bonds are still doing well, so I'm not sure what all the doom and gloom soothsaying is about when people talk about the bond market. It's hard for me to understand how the banks can make money through manipulating the bond market and I do not see the FEDS messing with that safety item until the economy turns around.

Good luck everyone.

Wow. Bonds are sucking wind, hitting the wall, gathering moss...:cheesy:

I'm moving to the G fund COB friday until I get a handle on this increasing treasury interest rate trend. This con game we call a market is not a game I want to play with right now (coolhand posted a great article from rolling stone on the market con we have been mired in - worth the read).

Good luck everyone. We are going to need all the luck we can get.

It's open season on everyone who's not an insider at GS or any other crooked institution. The theives at the top are on a level none of us can really appreciate. :notrust:

Agreed, complete market manipulation. The guy who just crashed his plane into the office building in Austin had some interesting things to say about the government/system. Alot of fed up folks in this country who have worked their tails off their entire lives, only to have a bunch of corporate crooks make off with their savings/investments.

A willingness to make adjustments is a good way to get ahead.

I hope you the very best !!
 
Ok - I'm throwing in the towel (boxing), cuing the fat lady (opera), dotting those i's and crossing those t's (literary), shooting the horse (western?:cheesy:), etc.... This market does not want to correct, so I'm going in 50% S and leaving 50% in G. Now the market is free to act logically:nuts:.
