Innovation to End the Recession
Wait a minute? What recession? I thought the recession ended in November of 2009? Michael Toma, Economics Professor at Armstrong Atlantic, wrote in Savannah 2011 Economics Trends that the local recession ended then.
Obama said that the national recession ended in June 2009 and has subsequently stated that the economy still needs work.
What's interesting is that business, both domestic and international, claim that the U.S. recession continues. On Wednesday, June 29, 2011 I wrote about the Cassidy Turley economic forecast that said technology is the only way to pull ourselves out of the recession. And I concluded that their forecast was doom and gloom and I was optimistic about the future.
This new article in the Gulf News gives me pause. Mick O'Reilly writes that this recession is more complex than a typical banking crisis and treating it as such will get the country no where. His interviewees say the recovery is unpredictable and uncertain. He concludes by saying "innovation is key"- which is exactly what the Cassidy Turley study said, albeit more specifically. Does this mean that all the government bailouts and qualitative easing isn't enough? Do we need a QE3? Apparently, the government's solution to the recession isn't adequate. Innovation among businesses and institutions, together with the government, is the only way out.

When Not to Talk with a Realtor
(Originally published March 2011)
I try to attend at least one networking event in the community each week and I occasionally meet other Realtors. Because we’re working the same crowd it is easy for us to chat with a group of people. But sometimes I have to politely end a conversation with a Realtor and so should you. Here are four conversational clues that tell you you’re not talking with a professional.
“It is unbelievable!” If this is the response you get after you ask, “How’s the real estate market?” you should walk away. This reply was heavily touted in training materials in the 1950’s so that, whether the market was good or bad, the agent would have an immediate, positive reply. It is still being taught. This particular reply is also outdated, unconsidered and, literally, not to be believed. If I ever say this off hand you have permission to stomp on my foot.
“…but I used to be an engineer.” An immediate disclaimer to the question, “What do you do?” should not be “I’m a real estate agent, but I used to be…” This person is probably embarrassed about his/her career choice and may not be around long.
“It is a [insert possessive noun] market.” A professional won’t bifurcate the marketplace when you ask what the market is like. It is always a buyer’s or seller’s market. She or he should have a more academic answer.
Finally, if a Realtor you’re speaking with says, “Call me when you’re ready to buy or sell,” this person is putting profit over value. I want you to know that you may call me (352-1222) for any reason.
I truly appreciate your friendship and referrals.
