Yin & Yang- 08.03.2010
We are all being barraged by mixed messages that are making itdifficult to assess where we really are in the recovery, and how tomap out a go-forward business strategy. For example, in the WeekendEdition of the Wall Street Journal, the big-bold frontpage headline reported: "Recovery Loses Momentum." How sad. Yet, inWhat's News, the top story was: "Stocks had their best month in ayear." Go figure. On the real estate hiring front the situationremains anemic, reflecting the broader story that the job numbersare not positive. My view is that, come Fall, we will begin toexperience a rebound on the job front, reflecting a significantincrease in transactional activity. Count on it, and it's abouttime.
