January 2008 - Volume 11, Issue 1 - Page 1

Wow can you believe it is 2008!
Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to.
I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s and you were not forced to stay up late but that you wanted to.
Just a quick update from Kiplinger Business Resource for 2008. It states that likely the Fed has more cuts in store for early 08, lowering rates about another half a percentage point. Though Fed officials fret about inflation stirring down the road, they also concede the immediate challenge is to try to revive sagging economic growth and avoid a recession.
They predict the 30 year mortgage rates are likely to increase slightly in 2008. They also forecast the housing Sales will fall at about 7% in 2008 vs. falling 13% in 07.
My forecast and predication for 2008 is for everyone to have a wonderful and healthy year and to enjoy life and I think we all can do that.
Learn from where you have been. Understand where you are today. Know where you want to be tomorrow.
I look forward to tomorrow hope you do to.
