I?ve noticed a few things lately. Revolving debt is approaching a trillion dollars and there are quite a few homes for sale. Today I?ll offer some insight into credit cards, Bill Gates, the housing market and saving money.

The Federal Reserve Board statistics pegged revolving debt at an astounding $816 billion at the end of last quarter. Bill Gates fortune was $50 billion in Forbes 2006 survey. Considering Bill Gates philanthropy and the relative popularity of this great article site, I offer this suggestion:

Dear Mr Gates,

Would you please consider contributing $40 Billion toward our credit card debt?

Thank You.

Now let?s suppose that we catch Mr. Gates in a good mood and he reads this and decides to help us out (Bill email me and we?ll talk). First thing he?d have to do is sell a whole lot of Microsoft stock. What do you suppose would happen to the price of Microsoft stock if a billion shares were suddenly for sale? The price would plummet. Why? The answer is simple. There would be more sellers than buyers. In the short term, the price drops to a level where supply equals demand. Over the long term, what guides supply and demand are the stock?s earnings. The long-term value of a stock is not changed by a short-term increase in the number of sellers, although that increase in the number of sellers does create a tremendous opportunity for buyers. Such is the condition in today?s real estate marketplace. While stocks are a function of the earnings, real estate is a function of the rents. The euphoria of buying a home and selling it for $50k more in a few months has pushed real estate values to unsustainable levels. Now that world news is reporting a housing slowdown, ?for sale? signs are appearing on every block. Housing prices will gradually begin to approximate a historical calculation that can be derived from the rental income received. Again, this provides a tremendous opportunity. This opportunity exists for both homeowners and those contemplating entering the housing market. Please allow me to explain.

I suppose I should start by listing who will not be benefiting by current market conditions ? anyone pressed to sell their home today. For reasons listed above, this is not the best time to put your home on the market. Smart homeowners are taking their home off the market and pulling cash out to pay off credit cards and consolidate bills, enabling them to wait out this period of over-supply. After this over-supply cycle has ended, it will be time to sell.

For those of you considering entering the housing market, you may not be aware that we are at an unprecedented time in history. This is good news. Sellers are willing to assist you with financing in the form of a second mortgage. Not only do you have a selection of homes but this type of financing enables you to buy with ?no money down? even with a credit score as low as a 500. The only caveat is that you need to be able to afford the monthly payment. You don?t want to put yourself in a position of having to sell the home shortly after you buy it. Today?s market is ideal for building a portfolio of real estate for Read more…

Business needs apt cash flow to run properly. People look for business loans when they lack enough finances to support this cash flow. They prefer banks and financial institutions to apply for the loan. But repaying these loans becomes a trouble for them as the interest rate makes their repayment unaffordable ultimately results in loss of reputation as well as affects your credit status. On the other hand, if you go for private lenders available in the loan market, you will surely be able to get a good loan deal for your business in form of low rate business loan.

A low rate business loan is the loan with lower and affordable interest rates.
