True, it is not the primary issue, but it is THE issue that will rile the masses into stockpiling pitchforks, tar and feather. Bonuses should not be paid to people for poor performance. Those that continue to screw the populace and those elected who continue to do nothing about it have a party comin' Yeeehaw! “I do not think the size of executive compensation is really the issue here.”

]]> Comment on The Market is Looking Up… by Jason Scally http://www.aboutjimscott.com/2009/10/the-market-is-looking-up/comment-page-1/#comment-102 Jason Scally Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:13:47 +0000 http://www.aboutjimscott.com/?p=277#comment-102 The realty group reported 10,282 active and contingent listings as of yesterday on Median Priced homes, the smallest total since April 2005. At the current rate of sales, that represents about a three-month supply — normally a signal that sellers can start to name their terms after a period in which buyers had the upper end. The percentage of resale houses selling for more than $800,000 stood at 9.2 percent in November, up from 5.7 percent a year ago. If foreclosures, lay offs and interst rates don't spike we may see some equity gains in property value by the end of 2011, alomost a year earlier than I first guessed. Cheers, I just found your blog and have enjoyed reading it; thank you.

I’ve very sorry to hear about your father’s passing. Your story was touching. You are in my thoughts.

I wrote the following to Trisha just this morning - I'll assume it was because of this last e-mail, but I had a dream about Bill last night. Carson and Dylan were at some sort of practice for a game. (baseball/soccer?) They were about 10. Dylan waved at me. Bill was with them. Josh and I sat about 100 yards back for some reason. It was the end of the practice and and Bill got up and walked towards some out-door, double doors. (I told this to Josh this morning as I woke .. and I cried. I want to cry again) As he walked towards the double doors, he turned and looked at me across the field, and he raised his cane up in the air, as if to say good-bye. I looked at Josh. I knew he was going to die very soon, but nobody else did. I ran after him as fast as I could. The next thing I knew I was in a car with him and he said, "What are you doing? You don't have to go with me ... It's not very far." I said, "I want to go with you." - Yes, I'm crying again. Again, your letter just brought me to tears at my kitchen table. I felt as if you wrote that specifically for me... as if you were talking only to me. The way in which you painted the picture of the pain in the boy's hearts, will never leave my own. I wanted to see the boys so badly not only because of their Grandpa's passing, but because we are moving to Virginia at the end of this month. Trisha told me that the ceremony will not be held until September. Josh and I are heartbroken that we cannot attend. He so wanted to wear his Dress Blues to pay his respects. I just don't think it is possible for us to make it back so quickly. When Greer broke the news to me about Bill's passing, she told me about the boys busy August. I wonder where they are at this moment. Thank you for sharing your personal moment with me ... and for sharing your stories about my dear friend. I have most all the e-mails he ever sent me. Maybe some day I can share them with you. He was so funny. All my love, Marti Jim -
