Revision as of 06:08, December 3, 2008
, 06:08, December 3, 2008More VERY BAD economic news today--sales plunge 20-40%
Okay, I guess I '''will''' quote George Bailey: "Potter's not selling, he's buying!" I give it another 2 to 6 months, and then I think we'll see people start to buy those empty houses and condos - but at their actual value, and to live in, not as speculations. "Salt, that life may have savor." --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 14:38, 2 December 2008 (EST)
