. Q1 2008 Analysis: The Perfect Storm of Economic Downfall Home Page
There are some extreme viewpoints regarding the housing market, and the economy in general. One economic theory is that 2008 will shape up as the "Year of the Power play". The year 2008 will see acquisitions made by Microsoft and Bank of America to consolidate those respective fields. This will predictably result in job loss and a reduction in overall quality of services as the transitions morph into functionality. One could also predict a coming bear market and a continued slump in housing. Therefore, the question arises; "How can anyone have confidence in a long term holding in this investment environment?"
The banking sector is on the fringe of major consumer credit card bubbles, where credit card debt is at all time highs. People are losing control, and have no way out. The mortgage crisis is getting worse, not better: the lists of foreclosures are growing. Rate cuts are not resulting in lower credit card rates, but higher ones. No one is buying homes because the cost to carry is so much greater than the projected rents: 'Sellers Denial' keeps prices at 2004 levels, yet still no buyers. Investors must realize that many agents in the real estate field are obliged to take a positive outlook on the current market. People are learning (and saying publicly) that home ownership is a burden, not a benefit. Even if you own it outright, you still have so many extra costs.
Politically, we are on the verge of chaos. No one can predict with any accuracy what our economic policy will be in 12 months. McCain is by nature a maverick, thereby unpredictable, and so is Obama. Realistically, one of these will be in the white house. Neither is attractive with regard to investing; because investors like stability. Both represent some degree of radical change.
Finally, our reactive US Government is riding in to save the day, with efforts that will be too small to be significant, and a policy of helping along those that are reckless. Continued rate cuts and mortgage relief seemingly punishes those that are responsible and save. All this reinforces the sense of entitlement that we as Americans have grown so accustomed to having; and this very sense weakens us and makes us less competitive internationally. Meanwhile, Iran and Russia are testing our military boundaries, perhaps getting itchy for another World War. These are indeed scary times we live in.
However, the phenomenon of 'American Protectionism' will prevail; defined as; "The need of Americans to protect not just their credit, but those that are weaker or less capable than they are." -comment-
