  1. American Institute of Architects - Billings Index - leading commercial indicator tells us that recovery is 2 to 3 years away for cmmercial.
  2. Rank and file homes will struggle until jumbo loans open up. If inflation kicks up (we doubt it will) home premiums will be 50%+.
  3. Mtg rates look good but beware of price when you look at the CPI. Some depressed areas are still 40% premium over CPI minus 20 years.
  4. If Americans in particular, keep the AC and Heat off and keep the driving down, we can drive the price of oil to $30 per bbl.
  5. Existing home sales down. If U follow us we said this would happen. Financial behavioralism of the majoryity of consumers has not recovered
  6. If we are going to get universal health insurance, what about universal life and disability, or auto and home? Think about it.
  7. Health care reform does not address the major gap most people have with disability, on or off the job. Hypocrites, every try for SSI DI?
  8. bad #s can be twisted to tell a good story. the retail sales release might not be the start of the great recovery that DC and NY says
  9. Note: a 100% gain minus a 50% loss equals zero, but 100 minus 50 = 50 then divided by 2 = 25% ROR. #s can be used to tell a bad story.
  10. Looking deeper N2D retail sales #s shows bright spots & trends. Taking auto sales out, people are still staying home & hunkerng down.
  11. Those who are retired and afraid their money will not last as long as they do, contact me for information on how to leverage mortality & ROR
  12. @divadoll123 unfortunately every purchase adds to the consolidation of retail distribution and one small step closer to monopoly
  13. Detroit and Los Angeles, rotten ratio of jobs advertised versus unemployed.
  14. North Dakota, Nebraska, South Dakota all have unemployement - ad ratio under 2:1. Cold but jobs are available for those willing to work.
  15. DC, Salt Lake City, Baltimore, Oklahoma City, Honolulu, Austin, San Antonio, Boston, Hartford, New Orleans best cities to find a job - 07/09
  16. North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, California, higher rate than FL for advertised jobs per unemployed. Worst states to live if unemployed.
  17. advertised jobs per unemployed - Florida ratio 6:1. Six people are unemployed per advertised position.
  18. Gasoline stations sales down 32.5 percent (±1.5%) from July 2008. Less miles driven, less deman, prices remain over $2.50. Interesting.
  19. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U was unchanged in July after rising 0.7 percent in June
  20. The manufacturing sector accounted for 37 percent of all mass layoff events and 46 percent of initial claims filed in July 2009
