Communication and Panicking in the Market Place

Regardless what market your in, the stock market, real estate market or the Lending Market, sometimes we need to stop and rationalize what's going on.

The problem in this day in age, is that too much communication that causes confusion.  Were bombarded with everyone's varying opinion   Radio, T.V. Newspapers, Magazines and the Internet, you name it, it's no wonder why we have so many indecisive decisions clouding up our vision.  Just this morning my wife had a panic attack about the money in her 401 k retirement fund.  She is getting mixed signals from every directions, and is in a panic, and doesn't know what she should do.

On the lending side, I was talking to a prominent loan officer, she says that she had several people who heard that the interest rates were dropping (confusing the short term Fed. Funds rate with the 30 year fixed rate), in particular, several clients, wanted to wait for the rates to drop lower, instead of locking in a good rate, the rates went up considerately, and unfortunately several of these clients lost a good opportunity for lower payments.

On the real estate side, I don know how many people are setting on the fence to buy, waiting for that great deal, unfortunately, some of these people won't know when the real estate market has bottom out, until it's already past them going up again. 

Warren Buffet, a Billionaire and one of the smartest business people, said this;

"Buy from Pessimist, and Sell to Optimist." 

Which means, if opportunity presents it's self buy now, and profit from panicking people.  Stay cool, don't panic.  Now is a great time to buy real estate, and get a good loan.
