Osama Bin Laden and American Home Buyer Confidence: Is This The Pivotal Event???

So, apparently a few things happened yesterday from when I started my yard work till I finished and came in the house!

That is the understatement of the year!

A lot of big changes in history can be tracked down to single event. I remember for the dot com bubble it was the 1st announcement that Microsoft had lost one of it's monopoly court cases. Sure, some of the stocks had already started coming back to reality, but just after that court case announcement, the stock market started it's major free fall.

So with this HUGE announcement about Bin Laden, is it going to change the mindset of the average American for the better? While I am not one to 'celebrate' death, I can see how this could be a big positive in peoples outlook.

Now that a bad chapter in American history has closure, will people stop focusing on the negative and try focusing on the positive? 

Will You personally?

How will this effect our industry?

What are your thoughts on this?

p.s.-I forgot to post pictures. Here is what happens when the drive thru runs out of tartar sauce :)

I don't know... I'm the same, tough to celebrate a death - but I get it too. But one thing I CAN comment on,  I'd be pretty bummed if there was no tarter sauce too.. ;)

I think there will be an uptick in business and maybe we could start bringing troops back home.

That would save a lot of lives AND money.

Tartar sauce makes me happy too :)

Funny but, in order to make a point at a recent REBar Camp, I asked the question, "Who wants to see the photographs...?"  My point was that we need to research everything that we do for our businesses and keep stats on what works and what doesn't, including polling our clients about particulars.  Well, my question bombed and not one person made a comment to me about that!!  It was rather embarrassing!!

As for the troops, I'd love to get them home too!  As well, business could use a boost about now!

Hi Debe, thank for stopping by! :)

It is just conjecture on my part at this point, but I look at the past, at those things we now know were the pivotal events for big change. Hindsight is 20/20, but I look at the HUGENESS of this news of Osama Bin Laden and the past pivotal events and think "hmmmm.... this has the makings to be one of those."
