As soon as I saw Ted Kennedy speaking today on the economic crisis, I said to myself, “I don’t trust that man with the economy or with my money at all.” I may be wrong, but I would bet he’s never worked a blue collar job in his life and can not relate to the common folk of our country. He is a life-long politician (much like Al Gore) and his plans only are to benefit him, and maybe his party.
I do believe we are in a state of emergency, and we heard some details from Pres. Bush tonight. It’s serious enough that McCain has suspended his campaign to help with the bailout plan.
One of my successful real estate mentors, and friends, (yes, this is the guy that hijacked my web site two weeks ago) says he believes now is the time to invest in real estate. He says investors make more money now when things are on sale. He’s not alone. Warren Buffett has stepped up his acquisitions as well. Here is the link to a great article. This is a very interesting and motivating read.
I like reading what aggressive investors are doing in times like this, especially since I continue to lose money in my IRA. But, like I said months ago, I leave it alone because it will get better. I may make small adjustments, but I don’t panic. Of course, Roz can’t call me ‘daddy war-bucks’ yet, so don’t put much into what I say.
If Warren Buffet does it, it’s good enough for me. I lost Roz’s cell phone number…can you convey a message? I had no such luck with any of my contacts, but they told me they’d keep their ears to the ground for me. One of them told me there might be an opening in the business office at DCH. Also, if she wants to go to Riley-Randall *gulp* I know the editors, ad execs and even Mike Riley. If anything’s available, I can probably hook her up there. Thanks!
Um…actually that should be Randall-Riley, huh?
