During the depression, Seth Glickenhaus had the chance to make it big in Arkansas — bonds, that is. While a municipal-bond trader at Salomon Brothers, the acerbic New Yorker made a gutsy call: Even though the state of Arkansas was near bankruptcy and

Teacher system adding 15 years to Peabody loanBY MICHAEL R. WICKLINE The trustees for the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System on Monday decided to extend a 10-year, $28 million loan for the Peabody Little Rock hotel by 15 years. Acting on a mixed agenda, the trustees decided that the loan,
Stock Pros Who Survived the Depression
15.04.09
Irving Kahn sits at his cluttered desk, peering at his computer screen through thick, dark glasses. The Dow inched up 38 points today, a small move in light of its 332-point drop earlier in the week. But Kahn has made a career of betting on beaten-down stocks, and he's hard at work poring over annual reports and studying balance sheets looking for companies that have lots of cash, not much debt and good long-term growth prospects. General Electric has a solid business and looks pretty good at these prices, he muses. General Motors? Not so much.
Like a lot of us, Kahn has seen good times and bad, bull markets and bear markets, recessions and recoveries. But he's also seen something most of us haven't: the Great Depression. Kahn, who still shows up at work every day and puts in a good six hours, worked as a stock analyst and brokerage clerk on Wall Street in the 1930s. He's 103 years old.
That's right — 103. As pundits half their age dominate the airwaves with prognostications on whether the next Great Depression is just around the corner, a small group of overlooked folks who not just lived through it but worked through it — on Wall Street — are still here. What's more, they're still at it, running their own sizable portfolios and, in a few cases, managing money for clients. Despite innumerable bull and bear markets, 17 presidents, and countless economic policies, they've remained remarkably true to their investing philosophy. They've also remained remarkably true to their methods: Forget BlackBerrys; most of them hardly touch their desktop computers. And you won't find CNBC blaring in their offices throughout the day; that's more noise than news to these gentlemen. Instead, you'll find stacks of reading material (these guys actually read a firm's annual report before investing) and a lot of old-fashioned...what do you call it? Oh, right. Math.
Is it a good investment to buy a second property in Arkansas?
Sep 29, 2006 by Veggiegirl | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I hear it is a beautiful place, I would like some opinions. We live in southern New Jersey & love it but it is just so expensive.
Great place to live and cheap to buy but don't expect a huge profit when you sell. I will give you an example. I bought my first house in 1999 for 90,000. Great school, brand new 1300 sq house will a few upgrades. The lot was 80 ft by 110 ft. I sold it for 105,000 in 2004. Now I bought my second house in 2004 with 2300 sq BEAUTIFUL craftman style house for 158,000.00 today I could sell it for about 180,000.00. I am in the Little Rock area but I believe Bentonville, Rogers and Fayetteville area would be better investments due to Walmart Coorporate offices located in the area.

I am looking for real estate to invest in hot springs arkansas.?

I am interested in finding some investment property in hot springs arkansas..lake property or acreage..how can i locate this.
is for accessing the multiple-listing service in Hot Springs. I am not recommending the real estate agency that operates this site as I am not familiar with local agents. But you can search their site for free to see what is available in homesites, houses, acreage, etc.
Of course the agency will be willing to communicate with you and help you - that's why they have that website. But you are not obligated to do business with them. It is usually a good idea to talk to a few people in the business to see who you like, and who seems knowledgable.
I wouldn't waste my time with foreclosures. They can be a good source of deals, but if you are investing, the most important thing is to find the right property first. Then you can talk about price and terms.
In this weakened market, you might find some good deals.
