Wednesday Morning Comments

Seems like the markets are in for another shaky day, after recouping 3/4 of their early losses yesterday on a 3/4 point rate cut, it looks like another tough start for the markets today. The markets also seem to be indicating that the fed is likely to cut rates another 1/2 point next Tuesday. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen. Again, given the relatively stable state of our (Manhattan) real estate market, lower rates will be a big plus down the road, however, major problems in the European markets would slow down foreign investment in our market. I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and put it all in perspective. When the markets have dramatic drops, the media works itself into a frenzy; when they rebound or stabilize the coverage diminishes. Usually when a market corrects, an overwhelming sense of negativity and capitulation must be achieved before the market rebounds. Needless to say, at this point we have plenty of negativity.
