I asked in an e-mail blast yesterday for someone to tell me how "Helicopter Ben" got his name. One of the responses I got was had a friggin propeller an his head just like the retard he is. Spoken like true Socialist is all I could think. Then I removed them from my e-mail list.
Poor Ben is going to be the scapegoat if this country does go into a recession. I would hate to walk in his shoes for one second.
Anyways, the dude flies in on helicopter, drops off a butt load of money to ease the liquidity thingy and open up our economy a bit. and I'll bet he went back to his office and smiled big enough to get lipstick on both ears. I hope he wiped it off before he got, or Mrs. Ben might have a cast iron skillet to do the talkin for her.
With the interest rates so law, and home prices near the bottom, we have some work to do. We need to be talking to people and letting them know all of this so we can get our housing market back into positive territory. I did hear on the radio while I was out getting lunch today, that the MBA tels us mortgage application went up last week, but I don't remember the numbers that were quoted. This is encouraging of course, and makes one optimistic about the coming year. So, if you have some money that you just have to spend, think about a new real estate investment, but don't go overboard with it just yet. Just do it and smile, but don't go home with lipstick on yer ears this time. This going to be a fun year, just like 1993 all over again. Yahoooooo!
Love ya
Ed
