2008 a Year of Opportunity and Crisis:


The sands of the 2008 hourglass have almost completed their journey. 2008 will stand out because of the financial upheaval that affected everyone. The “average Joe” on the street pays very little attention to the ramblings on Wall Street. In 2008 the rumblings sent tremors coursing through Main Street. The value of real estate, homes in particular, which has served as the basis for most peoples net worth and their sense of self worth was devastated. Even if you did not have a mortgage the decrease in the value of your holdings made people feel poorer. When this occurs consumers reign in their discretionary spending immediately. The continual barrage of negative media, highlighting all the things that have gone awry added to the general malaise griping the nation and the consumer.


If your only source of information is the media, you would conclude that all is lost, life is over, and this time the doomsayers got it right. Well I am here to tell you that the world is not over. There is gold in the danger around us. This is an opportunity like few others before. I urge you to Seize the Day!
