Cirios Wire Check – 2/26/2009
A DAILY LOOK AT THE STORIES YOU SHOULD BE READING
Real Estate
- People are not buying existing homes and they are not buying new homes.
- In breaking news, real estate agents are not paid to get you a good deal.
- Oversupply + 100 degrees in the summer = more value declines for Arizona
- Hanging out at the Mall may be a thing of the past.
Finance
- Ken Lewis might be a leeeeeetle too optimistic.
- JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon lays off 12,000 people as a “precautionary move to ensure that the company has financial flexibility should economic conditions worsen”. Ironic
- Job losses at a 27 year high and the stock market is up as of this posting. Makes sense to me.
- If our wagon is hitched to GM, we are all in big trouble.
Ciriosly Funny
- Finally, an effective crocodile repellent. Phew, just in time for the flocks of summer swamp-goers.
