...the last link is about Obama's drop in the ratings - lack of confidence in him to increase jobs etc.

All the more reason to be buying houses while we are giving them away :-)

[speights boy]

With the laughing stock your politicians have become, which will only increase exponentially in the lead up to Nov 12; then there is a lot more hurt to come yet.

Soon if you buy a set of Ginsu Steak knives and use your credit card; they will throw in a matching set of high yield rental properties for free.

[Dissindat]

And a six pack of clunkers!
We still need houses to live in Speights Boy. We increase our population by one person every 12 seconds I read somewhere recently

[speights boy]

Yep, and every 15 seconds someone joins the back of the ever expanding queue at the jobs fair.

Plenty of empty empty houses out there, not enough jobs.

[Dissindat]

Actually no one joined the queue in August. And empty homes is all about the location.

[speights boy]

August
22,000 private sector jobs lost; 22,000 Government jobs created
Net zero.
You think that is a sustainable way to grow the economy?

Net jobs zero does not mean no increase in unemployment
How many fell off at the 99 week cut-off, and how many gave up looking?

Correct , it is all about location.
That's what the U in USA stands for; you can't just say it's the next door state's problem.

Downtown Tubbleweed.....moving to a county near you.

Except if you are an illegal in Southern Arizona or Texas. Plenty of Federal support for you there.

As a local you'd find some good stock no question about it - and Dissindat is doing that (from reading his/her posts). As an offshore investor it's a much tougher task - where many fools rush in without doing the research, giving $$ to property promoters with silver tongues hence the reason these forums exist - to give air to all sides of the equation.

Cheers,

I know this is old but it is amazing how so many issues have come since then. I can't say Obama did much improvement. I see more people struggling than anything and I am glad he will be done next year.
