US Housing Crisis Is Now Psychological

Posted by AGORACOM at 7:31 AM on Monday, July 7th, 2008

I’ve been unequivocal in my predictions that US housing is doomed …. and that we still have yet to see its worst days. Until now, the market/pundit/banker/speculator solution has been “drop interest rates”. Again, something I have labeled as an exercise in futility from the outset.

Now that we’ve arrived at 2% interest rates and real estate only continues to decline, the proof is in the pudding.

Moreover, things have gotten worse. Lower rates have:

  • Created a lower US Dollar that is >>>
  • Leading to sky rocketing oil prices that are >>>
  • Eating away at consumer wallets that is >>>
  • Leading to corporate layoffs that is >>>
  • Bringing the economy to a grinding halt that is >>>
  • MAKING THE REAL ESTATE CRISIS WORSE

Bottom Line: Where once only sub-prime borrowers were terrified of losing their homes, we now have everybody scared of falling home equity, losing their jobs and even losing their homes. “Scared” is the operative word. Scared is the reason why otherwise secure feeling consumers just a year ago will no longer stretch their resources to acquire depressed real estate – no matter how “cheap” interest rates get.

It is psychological now. Look for home inventories to climb and prices to fall quite dramatically over the next 12 months.

George

AGORACOM Terminates IR Agreement With Nilam Resources

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:00 PM on Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Please be advised that AGORACOM has terminated its IR Agreement with Nilam Resources following the company’s 8K filing announcing the Company was unable to secure the financing necessary to complete a material acquisition.

Without this material acquisition, AGORACOM does not feel the opportunity is appropriate for further marketing to small-cap investors.

AGORACOM Runs 1st Client Ad On Bloomberg TV

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:07 PM on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Good afternoon to you all. Back on February 1st, we announced that our US Investor Relations programs would now include the ability to reach investors via Bloomberg Television and CNBC TV. These incredible tools were made available thanks to our powerful partners at Google, who are now handling offline ad space for the likes of (TV) Bloomberg, CNBC (Newspapers) New York Times (Radio) Clear Channel.

To this end, I’m proud to announce that our first Bloomberg Television began running in mid-June on behalf of our client Futuremedia. About 125,000 people have watched the ad so far and volume on FMDAY is much higher than normal.

Anecdotally, a partner from Washington called to advise they were watch Bloomberg the other day and nearly jumped out of their chair when I popped up on the screen. We’ve uploaded the commercial to YouTube for all to see. The quality isn’t as crisp as the actual playing version but you’ll get the idea.

Suffice it to say that we are really excited about this initiative and expect to be launching a few more campaigns in the coming weeks, including our very own AGORACOM ad. As always, we put our money where our mouth is by using the exact same tools we ask our clients to use.

Regards,
George

Ben Bernanke’s Days Are Numbered

Posted by AGORACOM at 6:02 PM on Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

As all of you know by now, I’ve been calling checkmate on the US Fed for 7 months now. In fact, I think it’s safe to call checkmate right now and it appears the folks over at Barclay‘s and RBS would agree.

As such, I’m now making another call – Big Ben’s days are numbered. To be fair, he didn’t have a chance. He inherited a pretty perilous credit/sub-prime situation that required forced him to keep rates low despite watching the inflation train coming right at him. I say “forced” for two reasons:

  • White House pressure from an administration that didn’t want to see epidemic foreclosure and subsequent homeless rates;
  • Wall Street pressure from a parade of bankers on CNBC that demanded lower and lower interest rates to save their hides.

Now, he has an inflation problem to add to the housing/credit/banking crisis that he could not solve despite super human efforts. Inevitably, one or both of these dominoes are going to tumble (no, they haven’t tumbled yet) and everyone is going to point the finger at Ben.

He won’t completely deserve it – but somebody has to take the blame. Ben will be replaced by the next US President.

Regards,
George
