As happens so often in business, it is easy for their to be un-intended circumstances that come from even the simplest of actions.  Many companies love to tout their long-term business models and forecast on the strength and volume of their business.  When it comes to smaller operations (ones like ours) where there are fewer than 50 employees and often times little changes lead to big things, it is very easy to draw a line between actions and results.

I found this great news article at Forbes.com that I thought everyone should read as soon as possible to get an insight into what is continuing to take place in the housing market.  There is a sense of relief being perpetrated in the media including right here in Memphis that the worst of the housing crisis is behind us.  Let's hope that is true, the worst is over.
