Need to hear some good news? Well, here's a little for mid-day on Tuesday. First, the Fed made no changes today - interest rates remained as they have been. Second, the Dow is way up - almost 300 points as of right now. Third, oil is down over $2.00 a barrel right now - making it below $120 again (it was there yesterday before closing at $121). Fourth, I'm seeing new home sales with some of my builders. Yeah!

Thanks for the positive news!!
Yes, Great news on interest rates. Like to see oil come down some more, if we, the consumers are unaccepting and use less, maybe we'll see a signifigant drop
Wait , I undstand a moose is scratching his back on the Alaska p[ipe line so the oil traders figure this is a good reason to up the prices
Yes... But did they catch Bin Laden? If you really want to give me some good news tell me the winning lottery numbers and I will BLOG you with great news!
Laura,
You're welcome. I figured we could all use some good news, and the more I search, the more I find.
Steve
Lori,
The $120 mark was considered a "line in the sand" and if we can stay below it we're definitely moving in the right direction. Demand is waaaaaay off I hear - maybe permanently.
Steve
Miriam,
Find joy in the little things. Positive economic news is a reason to rejoice.
Steve
Charles,
You mean he might see his shadow or something like that? Well anything is certainly possible in this up-and-down game.
Steve
Steve Its always good to look on the good side of things. With that said I really cant believe we are feeling good about oil at $120. Just think where we were 3 years ago, I don't want to know what it will be in 3 years. But any drop is a good thing.
Bet you won't see those headlines in the main stream media!!
Ron,
How right you are!!! But as long as we keep reminding ourselves (with Steve's help, of course!) that there is good news out there, we can help be a positive voice in our offices, communities, etc. I'm all for it! Thanks!
Amy
Marie,
Yes, but just look where we were 3 weeks ago at close to $150. It's called perspective. :)
Steve
Steve... we need to hear that good news from time-to-time.
Jon
Ron,
That's why I made this post. Oh sure, the business channels (Fox News, etc.) mention the good news, but they don't focus on it.
Steve
Amy,
I like your style. Thanks for jumping right in there and addressing Ron's comments. Good news is there if we look for it, or we choose to filter out the other news.
Steve
Jon,
Right you are. Not only time-to-time, but all the time. Stay positive. We are in a great business and there's plently of work for those who want it.
Steve
Steve - That is some good news! All of this happening in the same day, too... Thanks for the update! :)
Steve - Thanks for doing your part to spread the good news. Let's hope that we continue to see positive movement in the markets. Those daily swings have left me with some whiplash.
You are absolutely correct Steve! There is good news out there and yes...with the media...you do have to search! :)
Debi,
Isn't that marvelous! There is good news. Sometimes it's all mixed in with everything else but it's there. :)
Steve
Lynn,
Keep your anti-whiplash collar handy - we could still see some volatility. But I like what I'm seeing in general.
Steve
Laura,
With everyone here in the Rain looking for and supporting good news, it makes it more rewarding to look for it. :)
Steve
Steve
The fed keeping the prime rate were it is currently is good news. Let's hope that thinking continues.
Good luck and success

Lou,
I heard that with the election coming that it likely would be December before a movement upward would be considered.
Steve
Steve, it is some good news, but unfortunately good news is bad news for interest rates! we have seen them climb a bit this week.
Robert,
Oh, that is unfortunate, but it could be used to suggest to people that they'd better make a decison because rates are starting to inch upward.
Steve
That is good news! Thanks! Things are starting to pick up here, more offers and more accepted offers instead of rejected!
Leslie,
It's so good to hear positive reports - if only from each other. Keep performing and keep spreading the news. :)
