Don't Miss the Boat!

If you have followed the stock market the last year and were not regularly investing in it, you have missed the boat and I know you have got to be kicking yourself for it. Let's just look at Ford Motor Company. Imagine you bought $10,000 worth of stock in Ford last April when stock was about $2.00 per share. $10,000 would have bought you 5,000 shares of stock. Today, on March 24th, 2010, only 11 months later, that investment of $10,000 would be valued at $69,300! You see, the best time to invest in anything, is when you can get it cheap. If you can get a quality product for a low price, you do stand to make money in time. This is exactly where we are in the housing market right now. No one really knows if we are totally at the bottom, but we have got to be pretty close. In many markets, housing prices are down 30% to 50% and even more. No one could promise you that the stock market was going to recover. No one can promise you the housing market will recover. All we have to look at is the past. Everything we see and know point to increased home values. In a free market, values do go up and down based on demand and other market drivers. If you are upset about missing the boat on the first major increase in the stock market, maybe you want to try to ride the potential wave of the real estate market by buying a new home or even try your hand at investment property?
