Market bear buys banks
2008-06-24 00:00:00 "We continue to view stocks as fundamentally bearish," says Richard Rhodes (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2136). Despite this view, in his The Rhodes Report (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2136), he's going long a pair of Southeastern banking stocks."Our view through the '2008 recession prism' sees as tighter credit transitions from a Wall Street 'earthquake' into a series of Main Steet 'tremors' related to lowered consumer spending patterns. As the consumer falters, earnings estimates will be taken down from already lofty levels. "Technically, prices reversed in major ‘key reversal’ fashion from major overhead resistance levels; and did so with the advance/decline breadth figures quite anemic. The path of least resistance is lower; rallies are to be sold going forward."Technically speaking, we believe another leg lower towards a larger bottom is underway, and that rallies henceforth should indeed be ...

Outer Banks Inaugural Blog Entry
2008-05-27 21:54:00 My first blog. I want it to be meaningful. But how? While I am thinking creatively I will begin with a weather report. Totally awesome sunshine, breeze, blue sky, gorgeous Atlantic Ocean and lots of housing inventory!! Our season is just beginning and some buyers are actually jumping off the fence to make offers!! Hurray! In 1963, when as a youngster I came here with my family for vacation, there were no phones or TV's, few homes, endless beaches and the best fishing in the world. We stayed outside all day crabbing, swimming in the warm Atlantic Ocean, fishing and building sand castles. Our first beach home was built here in 1972 for $25,000. The land was $1600. Today that same house would sell for $650,000 (it is still a wonderful house) and the land alone is worth $300,000 even in today's market. That is change. And that is what this blog is about. Not just land value but cultural changes as well. These too affect real estate but which comes fir...
