I noticed that the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce is once again presenting "Preview 2009" to be held Thursday, January 29th at the Thomas and Mack Center. Tickets start at $60 for Chamber members and $80 otherwise. But let me save you some money and just tell you what you'll hear at the event.
The economy is bad... really bad. Traffic counts at McCarren Airport are down to very low levels.... Construction startups are down.... Resort occupancy is a fraction of what is was 2 years ago.... Unless you're working real estate foreclosures, nothing's selling in the residential market and the commercial market's going to be hit hard this year as well... Office leasing space is a joke... The high rise market is completely dead (except for one project)... Developments have come to a standstill and many have been cancelled due to the economy... In other words: Nothing's going well right now.
Then, each presenter will talk about how "the future does look bright if we can just weather the storm for now." Ladies and gentlemen, start your networking!
Do you really need to pay to hear this? Aren't you depressed enough already? If you're into networking on an entirely superficial level, then by all means attend this event. I went last year and quite frankly, the 2 best contacts I made while I was there was in the parking lot before I even bought my ticket!
For me, there's only one solution right now - that's to work with those people who know how to invest like the top CPA's and attorneys invest. The group I've aligned myself with are providing their clients with recession proof investments that have stood the test of time during this entire down market. Their clients are happy and haven't been effected by the vagrancies of the real estate and stock markets - and they're getting returns on their investments that most investors could only dream of even when the market was peaking.
You don't need to go to a preview event to know what's in store for most people. The question is, will you separate yourself from the masses who are just sitting on the sidelines waiting for something good to happen before they get back into the game... If yes, then click here and register. If not, well... enjoy your depression.
