Will the Baby Boomers Destroy the Housing Market?

By Carmello on October 31, 2011

According to US census data, there are 131,704,730 “housing units” in the United States (as of 2010) and there are 112,611,029 “Households.” If those numbers aren’t scary, let me add more concern by foreshadowing another starling danger about the US real estate market. The baby boomer generation is reaching retirement age. In fact, many estimates […]

Do Not Be a Monday Morning Quarterback Trader

By Carmello on October 29, 2011

As I previously posted a few days ago, I sold out of the market completely. I had the following securities: DOW, AMD, and X which were all up about 8-10%, and I sold. I stand by my decision and still think the market has a higher statistical chance of going down than up. All that […]

Even the Best CDs Are Not Worth The Paperwork

By Carmello on October 22, 2011

With today’s dismal interest rates, even the best CDs (certificate of despot) are not worth the paperwork. I find it interesting that some people opt into Certificate of Deposits (CDs) as long term investments. Right now a CD is running right around 1% for a 12-month, if you get the most competitive rates. I’ve even […]
