NWRELS.com and CascadeByOwner.com are now consuming my time and attention. Allied Investment Corp. has been laid to rest. The direction of my life, personally and professionally, has changed. The main contributor to this drastic change in my life is the economical and political changes in the United States.
America’s economy is a “war economy”, not a consumer, manufacturing, service, agriculture or consumer economy, a WAR ECONOMY!
First, this is not a political diatribe claiming the left is right or wrong or vice versa. This is a only about the economy and your financial health.
Second, here is the facts about this economy… The Iraq War was originally sold to the U.S. Taxpayers as a $50 Billion project that was to be funded out of oil revenues. Everyone with any financial and political moxie new that was a load of crap. It looks as though the cost is going to be about $3 Trillion.
Third, the Iraq War is a world war and we are in a new “global economy”. In this new global economy, the GDP of another country affects the financial health of the U.S. Taxpayers. The unique aspect of this new global economy is few know how to interpret the data and make accurate predictions or sound financial judgments.
Fourth, regroup… by that I mean you need to look at the financial trends and engage them. A trend is your friend. There are new trends in all facets of the “global economy” that can be used locally.
I will be Blogging about all this from this point forward and how this all ties into NWRELS.com, CascadeByOwner.com and 123oregonfsbo.com. Here is a hint: This trend is MY friend.
