Soft Market

When I tell someone what I am doing these days and I get that look. You know the one. Like I just grew an extra head out of my shoulders. "But the market is so baaad!!", they say. I was even asked, "Why did you go into Real Estate now?"

This is but a blip on the radar. What is going on now is not uncommon in any market for any commodity. I absolutely cannot wait to see what is coming around the bend. I heard a radio commentator, a famous economic guru, say just yesterday that, yes, home sales have dipped but that can only mean one thing: There is nowhere else to go but up. I really like that. There is nowhere else to go but up.

And I used to have taped to my desk a quote of the Reverend Billy Graham that has lately become my mantra. He said, "Mountaintops are great for views, but corn is grown in the valley." Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a crop to tend.
