In light of the current bear market underway for the past two years; we wanted to pass along a note of humor, given to us by US Trust. We are reminded to diversify our investments and long term strategies - including real estate in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Bud Light -
If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00. With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, our current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

**From Santa Fe One Real Estate -
Real estate is your investment alternative to the stock market. Take advantage of a demand-driven market in Santa Fe - steady gains in value while taking advantage of tax deductions. Diversified portfolios are stronger portfolios. Due to today's historically low interest rates, why not invest in Santa Fe Real Estate?

In Santa Fe, New Mexico this past year, the average value of homes under $500,000 has appreciated approximately 15%-18%. As inventory shrinks this time of year, many folks opt to build.

The higher end of the Santa Fe's real estate market; $1,000,000 - $2,000,000, lingers behind with 140 listings standing on the market due to excessive inventory, offering buyers ample opportunities.
