haha...right down to the guns!

I'm sorry. I wish things were stronger - it will get better in time. In fact, there will be so much pent up want for homes, service and goods that the economy will just explode. Hang in there!

Default Coral Springs comeback

I just want to be in Florida when it does explode with growth. Its like being at the bottom of the Dow (where is that -no clue). Florida has potential to come back first and I hear my relatives down there tell me is starting to pick up a bit. Its prob a fluke blip though. It would take me a year to sell all my business equipment and house-so I want to be there when it happens. I heard you can cook eggs on your car hood in the summer LOL.!
Does all my mindset sound like a wishful fantasy??? I cant stand 6 months of snow and cold hell here.

This is as tough to predict as the Dow and they are almost synergistically connected. I think, like the market, it will bump along the bottom up and down for awhile until all the bad seeds (banks/houses) all clear the system. I think the president's stimulus package is going to be very favorable for this area. It's a gamble though to know for sure when you have to decide now about how the market could be in a year from now. If it is any consolation, I think housing prices will be one of the last things to go up (sales were up recently due to foreclosure sales). There's just too much inventory here.

But deciding to sell your business and house is a huge step. Maybe if you brought your equipment with you? (I mean you're going to lose selling used and pay a premium to buy it back when you get here...) Perhaps also you could have an alternative plan, so that in a year, if S Florida isn't on its way back up, you could look forward to a moving to some other sunny locale? It could also be that by the time you get here, everyone else will be gone and you'll have the whole place to yourself and LOTS of business as things roar back.
