Someday this war is gonna end…
FORD:
Found on Road Dead!
Ford Trucks are great though. However that truck ad during the Superbowl where it was climbing that metal structure with the fire was the most assinine thing I’ve ever seen.
People that buy Ford cars are idiots.
till *they’re* no longer viable.
That too, Snark.
I always found it appalling in my hellish upbringing in the burbs that all our neighbors had 3 BRAND new cars in the driveway every 2-3 years. We had a beat up antique, a volkswagon van and a 10 year old toyota. Now years later, I can appreciate my parents desire to live within their means and use things till their no longer viable.
Horrible news for Ford means better news for the gluttonous U.S. of A.
Though the price of these few houses didn’t slump, aren’t overall sales way down? I think people who want to sell are holding back and you probably will see more converted to rentals in the near future. You are so lucky in Brooklyn to have such low taxes. Does anyone know what’s happening to the warehouse market in Brooklyn? Is it falling?
No, we don’t know either but we’ve been buying TBT for about three weeks now. There doesn’t seem to be any indication that rates will go any lower (they can’t on the short end). But, a good way to figure where energy costs are going is by a simple look at the oil chart. We’ll still have year-over-year down numbers until late this year. Expectations (the long Treasury rate market) will move higher going into that. Food prices will definitely be up year-over-year by later this year.
