While the recent fluctuations in the stock market are causing some economists to predict further loses, and even a full-on global recession, it isn't likely. True, some mistakes were made when lenders gave out too many sub-prime mortgages. These were high-interest mortgage, and other, loans given to people with bad credit, and they should have known it was like playing Russian Roulette. Now, as homeowners default and foreclosures abound, a lot of people are experience the severe repercussions of their trusting lending spree. But every dark cloud has a silver lining.
All of the foreclosures mean there is a lot of cheap real estate out there. Eventually, the economy will rise again, and with it, the value of the homes now being sold in foreclosures or other desperate sales. Now is the time to buy.
The nice thing about this is it is a sort of self fulfilling prophecy. As soon as people loose faith and stop investing, the economy continues to dive. Luckily, it works the other way. A confident populace, snapping up investments wherever they can help stabilize the economy. Once it is stabilized, it can't help but gradually rise.
And although the stock market situation looks bleak, the truth is, quite a lot of industries were on the rise just before the fall, indicating that not all is bad with our economy. For example, in December, the durable goods market was booming. There was a 5.2 increase in orders for long-lasting goods, says a report from Reuters. This would have meant a really strong dollar, if not for the sub-prime bubble finally collapsing. This indicates to me that we can overcome this blip. Sure, there will be some forever affected by this unfortunate turn. But with some careful investing, there will also be some that are forever benefited by it.
