I will stray from the no-prediction principle of this blog but I agree with Seeking Alpha, I find it unlikely the Fed will cut rates again. You never know, I grant you but I don’t see a clear case for it.
Why? Exactly, why? Why should they? The stock market is doing OK. It’s not good but it isn’t bad. By now, I hope we understand that lowering rates does not effect us in real estate and the mortgage industry in the positive ways we anticipated. Case in point, last rate cut did not stop mortgage rate from going up.
So, with this in mind, I give you, Seeking Alpha.
I don’t know if you saw the knew section in the Press Telegram called Know? It’s not technically new because it replaces the word business but I like the direction.
It feels like the Press Telegram is searching for itself and where it stands in the community. I hear too many people saying negative things about the newspaper. At least now, we can say it’s moving forward and trying to change to meet the times.
The Know section addresses one crucial aspect of a local newspaper, important things we need to know as a community. I love it. This is why I read it, not to hear what’s going on elsewhere. This morning focused of emergency preparedness. Yes, the subject is heavy but it is part of our community.
So kudos, Press Telegram. I have criticized you a lot in the past, but this one good thing you are doing. You are taking one positive step in the right direction in my opinion.
Happy Halloween Long Beach!
This is a great fun time and there is more than meets the eye here. Halloween actually takes its roots in old, ancient Celtic myth, it originated from the Pagan festival Samhain. Samhain is the Celtic New Year and marks the end of harvesting. It also marks the time when dark and light are equal in power. The Celts halved the year in half, one dark, one light. All Saint’s Day, the Catholic interpretation of Samhain is the time when souls visit the Earth. It is also a time when spirits can talk to us. It is a time of balance when light and darkness are even, a portal between both worlds are opened, if you wish.
There is much more than meets the eye on this day and night. It is the perfect time to relax and review what you have been doing. Much like any new moon is a great time to reflect on last month’s actions and project, this is the big yearly one. When both polarity energies are equal and balanced, it is a good time for reflection and project into the future.
It is of particular importance to me this year as I venture into what seems to have been a life time crescendo of professional experiences, I am opening my coaching practice. I have finally found my calling. I know everything I have done before had a thread, now I know what it was preparing me for. This will be my “special” prayer for this year. I am not quitting real estate. I love working with people too much.
