Worst May be Over for Warehouse Market | nreionline.com

The major warehouse space demand drivers are in decline.

September 29, 2009

Stocks waver on housing, consumer confidence data | www.wtop.com

Once again the pundits got it wrong. The ever optimistic media and their un-named economists seem to have no clue about how bad the economy has been. Further, they   have not figured out how  this worst recession since the Great Depression will continue to affect people's spending and saving habits. They certainly have no idea how the commercial real estate sector will continued to be affected.

GLG Expert Contributor
