I applaud your opinion, everyone has one,
however, if you base your opinion on the
same statistical foundation as the others,
your simply looking at the other side of the
same coin.

What statistical foundation are you referring to? I based my assertions on what’s actually happening right now. Much easier that way, don’t you think? — Bryan Ellis

Read “The Creature From Jekyl Island”, G.
Edward Griffin or listen to Ron Paul or many
others who have insights into the REAL truth
about what is happening (and has happened
in the past before already) - you will see
that it is the government and the Federal
Reserve who has caused this debacle… and
you will also see that it is going to get
a whole lot worse, not better, before it’s
all over.

Your assumption that I haven’t read “The Creature From Jekyll Island”, “Secrets Of The Temple”, etc is simply incorrect. Sure the Fed has some culpability in this - a lot of it. Very bad fiscal policy in the late 1990’s is the direct source of the credit crisis we face now. But does that lessen the responsibility of individuals to behave rationally? I think not. — Bryan Ellis

Does that mean we don’t invest? No. It just
means we invest with the facts firmly in
hand, not opinions from every direction.

What are you responding to? I’ve recommended that people should be investing right now. — Bryan Ellis

How many investment properties do you
currently own or control Bryan?

Hmmm - I could tell you the answer to that, because all financially wise people broadcast their assets to the world at large, don’t they? Of course we DON’T! But I am curious about your motivation for asking that question: What business is it of yours? — Bryan Ellis

Also… as a side note, your understanding
of land trusts is extremely limited and you
might benefit yourself and your readers
by heading over to ******* and
downloading ****** free info… you miss
the mark there by great margins by
putting all trusts into a single category.

I’m very familiar with the content to which you refer. And the problem with it is that it’s too complicated and of questionable reliability. I actually invited the expert to whom you’re referring to write a guest column about his solution, but instead he offered to sell me his program. Hmmmm. That’s why I stick with my “limited” - albeit legally proven - approach to land trusts. — Bryan Ellis

As intelligent as you seem to be, you would
be of better service to us if you would do
your homework first… on both of these
topics.

You’re right. I’ll make it a point to run everything by you in the future before I consider my own experience. (Dripping sarcasm) — Bryan Ellis

Your spreading of optimism is just as dangerous
as those spreading the doom and gloom.

Until that statement, I assumed you were merely a conspiracy theorist. But my opinion of you just dropped. Optimism is a fundamental requirement of success. You can’t win if you don’t expect to. Feel free to continue in the pessimistic style you clearly prefer, but I just won’t do it. Particularly not when the facts don’t support pessimism. — Bryan Ellis

Intelligence is the key… do your homework,
be ethical in all of your dealings, speak
of what you know not of what your opinion
is… we’ll all be better served.

Thanks for your comments. I guess we’ll have to let all of the thousands of readers of FreeRealEstateTraining.com decide for themselves whether this is a valuable resource. — Bryan Ellis

If you look at average values nationwide right now, yes, they’re down a good bit from a couple of years ago. But (reality check) if you go back just a little further & compare today’s average values to 2000, we’re still quite a bit “up”.

Hmmmmm…
