2009 Could Be Better Than You Think - Wall Street Journal

I received this interesting email from one of our lenders, Olga Konrad Coulter, Business Development Manager, Laurentian Bank of Canada, and I would like to share it with all of you. After all, we all like to make a guess, and sometimes we wish we had a crystalball. :)

Enjoy the fun reading by Olga!

I am incredibly optimistic today as I look forward to 2009. You may think I’m off the rocker especially considering our current economic situation and all the credit-tightening we’ve been seeing at the end of 2008. But, I am not alone in my happy little world…I’m sure some of you are sharing my view and for those of you that aren’t, I have come across a pretty optimistic article from the Wall Street Journal entitled 2009 Could Be Better Than You Think. It lists 5 things that should make you excited to be in the financial business this year, but I particularly like the #2 point - It will be a good year to invest in real estate. Now, of course, this is the US that Allan Murray is talking about, but we must admit that a lot of the hysteria from the US has been spreading to Canada, so let’s hope that optimistic news travel just as fast!
