Well the market has crashed, the credit market is holding on to every dollar, and people are being laid off.
Say it an so Bush, Chaney, McCain. Tell us how the economy is fundamentally strong, send us another stimulus package to keep people from rioting in the streets. Tell us how giving tax breaks to big business will help the economy.
You say the weath will trickle down, I do not know how others feel but I feel like I have been trickled on!
On to other things business has been slow and I expect it to be worse as we get to the end of the year. I am using the slow down to take more educational classes, so that when the market turns I will be able to attract more clients. I have taken all the classes needed to have my SRA designation from the Appraisal Inistitute, all I have left is the filling out the log and sending in sample reports. I have also taken all the classed I need to become a certified general appraiser but again have not filled out the log and sent in samples of my work. I have just been too busy, but I expect to have both completed by the end of November. I expect that is all I will have to do. I am not laying off staff. I will find something for them to do. My people have help me build my business, I refues to drop them like a hot rock when things are getting tough. They stayed with me when we had to work extra hours to get that report our. I will not let them down right as the holiday season starts. Talk about a "scrooge" to lay off people just before the holidays, no way.
