I managed to close two deals this month with a third closing hopefully next week.  Good news I seem to have plenty of prospects.  Some of them also sound serious.  You know what I mean.  I think the lower interest rates will help stimulate some buying.  Lower rates may also stabilize the existing...

I was pleased to read the new crime statistics for Slidell LA released yesterday.  All violent crimes decreased from the year before.  We had zero murders for the year, not bad considering how close we live to New Orleans.  The only increase was in thefts, attributed to stealing gas.  Go figure. ...

I have been reading a lot about the financial markets lately.  More so than usual.  We have been consumed with the subprime debt and default rate.  We have seen the stocks of Countrywide, etc. get pounded.  The way I understand it, we haven't seen anything yet.  The commercial debt that will be d...
