Patty Manzi's Tri-Valley Real Estate Blog

I was talking with someone yesterday who commented they were happy they didnt own any Toyota stock, and with all recalls and problems Toyota is having, they must be losing money.  They went on about how this could be even more devestating for our economy and more people could lose their jobs.  Although I dont share the same doom and gloom attitude, I did consider the consquences for a moment. 

Then this afternoon, while driving my Toyota Camry Hybrid, I heard on the radio that Toyota sales are up 50% in the first 8 days in March over the first 8 days of last month.  Due to the incentives and financing deals people are still buying Toyotas, in spite of all the negative press Toyota is receiving. 

So I guess with all things, Real Estate included, its all about attitude of the person hearing the news that determines how the data is perceived.
