kin: Insider Information - 09/10/09 01:42 AM

Many people hope they would have Insider Information so they can make money in stock. Although some information is limted to certain people, but you many get some insight by observation, no matter of your position or not even working.
A cashier will know whether the business is good, an inventory clerk will know whether the inventory is moving, a housewife can see whether there are more or less people in supermarket. These all are information that we can use to make money.
If you see no traffic on the Long Island Expressway on a regular day, it may indicate trouble - people … (1 comments)

kin: Seasonal down trend began - 09/09/09 04:55 PM
Bad news is there was less units sold in August than July, but the good news is the sales was better than last year. Inventory built up a little bit. Median price on closed sales was still dropping .
The sales in the past few months might be boosted by the First Time Home Buyer Credit. Some buyers might be lured to buy sooner. I am afriad the demand may be decelerated in the coming months.
While the stock market bounced almost 50% since March, I think it is time to be fearful when others are greedy.

kin: Housing market slowed down - 08/13/09 06:34 AM
There were less inventory than last year. Units in contract is more than last year, but sales began losing momentum after trending up for few months.
It is still hard to tell whether the real estate market hit bottom yet. I won't say unitl this coming season's bottom (around Jan/Feb 2010) is higher than last (Feb 2009).

kin: Too early to tell the recession is over - 07/29/09 02:49 AM

This chart above show the activity from Jun 07 to Jun 09 for the Long Island area including Queens, Nassau & Suffolk.
The real estate sale picked up for 4 consecutive months since it hit a low in Feb. I feel it is just the seasonal cycle; usually sale picked up in about Mar to Aug, then lagged through Sept to Feb.
The stock market went up since March too. I am afraid if the real estate sale figure will decrease for few consecutive months later this year (which is normal for yearly cycle), it will shift the sentiment in this fragile market and draped down the … (0 comments)

The market is extremely over-supplied. We are talking about years' supplies. 100% of single family and 35% of 2-family sold were foreclosure. Do you see any "Green Shoot"?
