I&#8217;m a big proponent in NOT mixing business and politics.  Sometimes casual political conversation can steer clients closer to you if they agree with your opinions or leave a sour resin in their mouth, if you are on the opposite axis of the political spectrum. Therefore, I choose to casually stay clear of such banter.  <a href="http://www.theschmoozer.net/2008/11/04/help-put-al-franken-on-the-street/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

I received this comic as an email from my Financial Adviser friend, Erle Savage with Regan Investments.  Although it is meant to be a satirical view on our current economic crisis, there is some absolute truth associated with it&#8217;s underlying meaning.

From Barron&#8217;s Edited by Robin Goldwyn Blumenthal:
The carnage in housing hasn&#8217;t spared any sector of the real-estate market.   But favorable fundamentals could turn apartments into lucrative investments again. &#8220;The demographics are very supportive for apartments, with a lot of young people graduating from college,&#8221;says Sam Chandan, chief economist of real-estate research firm Reis. <a href="http://www.theschmoozer.net/2008/03/16/its-the-best-time-in-30-years-to-be-investing-in-apartments/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

Well&#8230; someone sure did at a house in Windber, Pennsylvania!
As much as $200,000.00 in rare old coins were found while cleaning out an abandoned house that had not been lived in for more than 20 years.  It seems that either the family had a serious distrust in banks or a compulsive hoarding problem.  <a href="http://www.theschmoozer.net/2007/10/29/did-you-stash-200000-in-your-underwear-drawer/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
