Stand by for more “Doom & Gloom”

aubade-lingerie-istock_000001728957xsmall1There’s a very good reason why I haven’t posted anything on my blog since January. I won’t go into specifics right now, but all I can tell you is that I’ve been busy- ’round-the-clock – doing my part to try to save the world.

Quite frankly, I’m actually one of the most positive, energetic entrepreneurs I know. Although I project a “doom & gloomer” attitude, it’s only attributed to the doom & gloom that surrounds us all, and I want nothing more than to bring awareness to the very fragile state of our union.

Over the past 6 weeks or so, I’ve been very deeply entrenched in the housing crisis. What I have quickly discovered is that the crisis has no foreseeable end, and most certainly every sign indicates that we are in deep “kimshee” over the next several years. My heart aches thinking about our future.

I’ll be posting more in the near future, and I’m not looking forward to what I have to share. The truth will hurt everyone.

    So, what’s the point of blogging if you give no support to why you feel the way you do? Your post reminds me of the Robin Williams Live 2002 spoof on John Ashcroft, following 911 and the Terror Code alerts. Remember the orange alert? “I don’t know what, I don’t know when, I don’t know where but something really awful is about to happen in the US.” A ridiculous statement that only caused stress for those who listened and believed.

    A negative commentary you’ve posted and that is your opinion. You might be right, but you’ve given no facts to support your fatalistic view of the housing market.

    For example, the end of a recession is typically preceeded 4-6 months with gains in the stock market. This past week was a good three day rally. Could this be a positive indicator that points to the recession’s end? Could an improving stock market settle down the housing crisis, along with seasonal home buying activity, stimulus, foreclosure assistance, low interest rates, a bottoming out of unemployment, etc, etc? No one knows for sure, let’s hope it does, but at least that is something to consider, rather than some negative prognosticator’s view with no beef shared to support his position.

  2. There, there, Peter. I pay attention to what you write. I think of you affectionately as “that depressing guy on Twitter,” which only underlines what you say. . . since it’s on Twitter. Get it?

    You sound like some of my friends…they’ve all been married multiple times because they can’t get along with people, and spent most of their lives criticizing others for their misery

Speak Your Mind
