SBA ARC Loans – You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

I guess I will never cease to be amazed by the people in Washington. Hopefully, at some point, someone with 1/2 a brain and who has read the Bill of Rights will take the bull by the horns out there. Anyway, I was just reading about the new SBA ARC loans. Essentially, the Small Business [...]

Flavor Flav Had it Right

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

The Flav said it best, “Don’t believe the hype.”
Once again the retards in Washington D.C. fell for the hype, or are going to use it as their excuse. The new mantra is that it is better to do something than nothing. Of course, observing is not considered doing “something” by people who don’t have [...]

Bailout BS

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

The US Senate is going to vote on a bill tonight that is still being drafted…classic. So, we can’t even see what the hell it is that they are going to vote on…and the vote is supposed to happen at 7:30p EST. Once again it seems that the fear factor is front and center. [...]

Welcome to Socialist America

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Well, I always thought there was a good chance and it looks like the team is Washington is going to make it happen. I hope that everyone at least gets government sposored health insurance too. I mean if we are going to basically buy the financial system in this country we should at least have [...]

Is Anyone Paying Attention?

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

I am starting to feel like Neo after Morpheus pulled the cables out of his head. I am wondering if people are really that ignorant. It seems like people don’t want to understand that there are more than serious things going on that not only affect the financial integrity of our country, but [...]

Sub Prime Stupidity

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

Tons of money chasing mortgage backed securities.
Interest rates really low.
Government says it wants everyone to be able to own their own home.
Interest rates slowly move up, but still at historically low rates.
Real estate markets begin to cool as rates rise from their uber-low levels, fears of inflation, real estate bubbles and poor job markets increase.
Loan [...]

Blame the Lenders Part 253

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Andymac just sent me an article plublished in the Wall Street Journal (available for the next 7 days gratis via that link) that should show every one of us how full of crap our elected representatives are. In case you didn’t get the memo, it is all about the dolla bills y’all. If you [...]

S&L Crisis Round II

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

Well, many of you who actually know me in person, know that I have been pretty bearish on the national real estate markets for some time. In short, I feel that the lack of oversight and allowing interest rates to hang as low as they have is going to cause another real estate crash like [...]

Envelopes on the Cheap

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

Getting back into the guerrilla marketing game in the offline world has been pretty fun. I really do like the mix of online / offline marketing. I guess that is simply because I have learned so much in the past few years of focusing back on the online marketing game. But, now it is time [...]

Sun Valley Real Estate

Monday, September 19th, 2005

We just got back from a 5 day trip to Sun Valley, Idaho where the real estate market is crazier than I thought. Danielle’s good friend Ashley Melin married Adam Ruback this weekend after an 8+ year relationship. I had the fortune of traveling to Sun Valley for the first time and to be [...]
