One year ago, Jason Haber organized a petition seeking the resignation of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) President Kenny Parcell. Within days, the executive was gone, and Haber's life had changed forever. The petition's momentum, albeit rapid and fierce, can not compare to the tectonic shifts already in motion in the real estate industry. For years, multiple clusters of fanged lawsuits have worked their way through the justice system. Sitzer-Burnett vs NAR The NAR and co-defendants l...

An aging population, a declining population, increasing wealth disparity and education inequality pressure the social security system. What policy prescriptions are available to ensure the proper functioning and ...

Almost a year ago, New York Community Bank (NYSE: NYCB) acquired Signature Bank's assets as a fresh banking crisis had emerged almost overnight. The fallout from the failure of Silicon Valley Bank wreaked havoc on financial markets and raised fears of a 2008 scenario. Over the past week, those fears have again come to life. NYCB issued a dismal earnings report, followed by a set of questionable disclosures. The stock tumbled, and commercial real estate values are again in question. With more wri...

Cathy Wood is a warrior. Perhaps with the wrong battle plan. She is a general - intelligent, seasoned, and committed to the cause. Yet, a war of attrition only works if the army (in this case, her investors) have the staying power for prolonged battles with an unknown endpoint. She catches falling knifes, averages down, and counts on her investors having unlimited patience and staying power. To catch a falling knife is a phrase used to describe buying a stock that is falling dramatically in hope...

What Is A Yield Curve? The treasury yield curve is a graph that charts the interest rate on Treasury bonds, notes, and bills versus their maturity (the time until they pay back principal). Normally it slopes upward, from left to right. When you think about it, it makes sense. Bondholders demand a higher rate of interest to lend money (i.e., hold bonds) for a longer period of time. What Is An Inverted Yield Curve? What Is An Inverted Yield Curve? When the curve is "inverted," it is downward slopi...

The Race Between Technology And Education A major impetus for my writing and recording is my interest in personal reinvention. The overcoming of adversity. How does one remain relevant in the job market after age - pick one - 40-45-50? Traditionally, in post-WW2 America, a citizen enters the workforce at 18-25 years of age, with no degree, or with a two-year, four year or graduate degree, and accumulates savings with the anticipation of retirement at age 65. For roughly seven decades, until the ...

I Hope I'm Wrong The U.S. stock market and the economy are diverging. 35 million Americans are unemployed and underemployed - approximately 20 percent of the workforce is without full-time employment. Covid-19 cases topped 1.3 million and more than 70,000 Americans have died. States are heading toward Phase 1 or Phase 2 reopening of local economies. The Fed and Treasury programs are in place. Securities markets have been lubricated and lending facilities supported. The CARES Act and associated p...

Covid, Climate Change, a gecko, a fox, and an Oracle. The pandemic of 2020 brought a wake-up call.

In 1987, Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) walked along the shore at sunrise with a cell phone the size of a box of Kleenex in his left hand. With the swagger of a Wall Street Master of the Universe, he says to Budd Foxx (Charlie Sheen), ...
