Should You Try It Alone Or Join a Vulture Fund?
This morning at the health club, I ran into one of my long time friends, and I asked him if what I read in the newspaper was true. The paper reported that the bank where he is chairman was sold to a much larger institution. He confirmed that it's true, and needless to say, a bunch of his cash is going to be made available to him in the near future. I asked him what he planned to do with some of that cash, and he told me he was planning to get into the short-sale game and start finding houses that he could buy, fix, and flip — or hold – depending on the circumstances.

Thank you and farewell to Matt Zembruski
It is with mixed emotions that I share with you that my longtime colleague, business partner, and friend, Matt Zembruski, is moving on to pursue other goals and dreams for his business career. Matt has been the general manager of Growth-Logic, Inc, also known as Bullseye Capital, for the last six years and his contribution has been immeasurable I am happy for Matt, but consider it a loss because Matt has brainstormed with me; Matt has organized with me; and Matt has helped to lead our company into many of the wonderful programs that have helped so many people over the years.

Only Your Haircutter Knows For Sure
Today was the one day of the month I go and get a haircut. One of the first things that my haircutter said to me was that his clients have been telling him he needs to get into the real estate short-sale game. When I hear a non-professional tell me that I need to get into the “game,” I know the opportunity for professional buyers is behind us, and it’s time to get out of the game.

How Do You Pick Properties in an Anomaly Market?
The conditions that real estate is facing right now can only be described as irregular: the free market is not working freely. Banks are holding properties and the Fed has not mandated the sale of these properties. Property owners have lost their equity. Short sales abound and foreclosure is at an all-time high. Turbulence and confusion have created an anomaly market.

Can an Imperfect Market Produce Perfect Results?
In economics, it's well known that a perfect market is one in which everybody has access to information instantly, accurately, and uniformly. The closest market in the United States to this is our stock market, where the information flows freely; investors know exactly how securities are priced within moments of the most recent trades. Perfect markets are difficult to beat, and the people who identify and take little pinches of profits call it arbitrage.

Can Lone Wolves Cooperate?
A few days ago, I shared my view on how entrepreneurs are being squeezed out in this economy - even more so than our bigger company counter-parts who have also been struggling. A lot of people agreed — and a few disagreed – but this topic created a lot of discussion. Now I want to put forth a strategy for entrepreneurs to embrace. One which could help all on line diet of us overcome this mess.

I normally don't write columns that leave my readers hanging but I wanted to
take the weekend to think about my conclusions - and to think about how
accurate my thoughts are. I also wanted to take some time to absorb the
commentary that every political and business observer has put out.
