Not even 12 hours!

And customers are calling saying we need to stop on projects for fear of what just happened last night and the uncertainty of the future.



Its been a fun 3 yrs. and 1 month!

(The hand fulls of Z-bars have begun.)

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?

[dwalker460]

Its not easy... and not going to completely derail this thread with the how and why. I will say that the Chinese government is trying to discourage real estate speculation so they typically only allow citizens to own property, and typically only one property per person of age- so you can own one, your wife can own one, and your child can own one if they are of age, so it is not easy to be a land baron....

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.

I'd stay away China - they have their own bubble. Hong Kong and Macau inclusive.

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

we looked at a transfer to Singapore about 6 months ago....after a LOT of serious consideration, we decided that we wanted our kids to grow up in the United States. I now question our decision . (we also looked at a transfer to Zurich) if either was to come up again, we may reconsider

Sorry to hear bro.
