Sorry to hear it.. I got new calls on refi.. but purchase clients are scared to move forward.
Yeah, I cant see this being a good year for me in racing.
Edit-
Still firming up, but my plans are along these lines-
close the shop to 90% of the customer work, not like there are going to be a lot out there anyway, will only do work for people I like.
pick up a few more rental properties here and in China
go back to trading the markets on a regular basis
Possibly go racing, assuming anyone wants to spend the money. Already getting reports from other teams of sponsors stalling on deals or cutting funding by half or more... its going to be bad
How do you get rentals in china?Quote:

Sorry to hear that Neal. Keep your head up!
Look into Bali Island instead. I have one that's renting to a nice Korean expat for $6000! I am looking at properties in Singapore at the moment. These are International destination - a lot of expats, American schools etc. My bro in law moved to Singapore 4 years ago (after BO was elected the 1st time), he is making $$$ w/ his engineering master degree.Quote:

Yeah, not really holding my breath for getting back to full time employment anytime soon here.

Sorry to hear bro.
Singapore is boasting 15-20% GDP growth. Yet, they manage inflation to all time low. I remember when CNN asia interviewed the trade minister and asked for their secret. He said, we sent our best and brightest to the US to learn economics and free markets and apply it here to the letter.Quote:

Some good things about Singapore but remember they do NOT have a Second Amendment there. If you think Kommiepornia is bad ...
I just want to diversify my rental properties so one or two international is all im going for. One asian and on south american is likely. Gotta finish this one in greeley first

all money that will be made up from cutting expenses like R&D and payroll
Was told today due to Ocare look for 50% of the surgeons and med service people in NOCo to retire within the year. This from 3 Dr's within the hr, not i heard from someone who knows someone.
Tinelement,
As someone who lost his business due to the economy falling apart, I can tell you this:
Have your house in order and make sure you are looking at income options.
I waited too long and by the time I was looking for work there just wasn't anything (and I mean anything) available. I don't know what would have happened if it wasn't for a couple very good friends.
That was 4 years ago and we are making a come back, but we hit the bottom damn hard.
^^ thanks for the heads up!
