Commercial Real Estate: Hey, Save a Piece of Stimulus Pie for Me!
Commercial Real Estate: Hey, Save a Piece of Stimulus Pie for Me!
Richmond, VA (PRWEB) January 20, 2010
Following a year that saw the near meltdown of the banking system and the sweeping impact of a global recession, 2010 could shape up to be a better year for investors, though perhaps not as robust as some would wish. According to “Ordering Your Slice of the Stimulus Pie,” the latest podcast produced by John B. Levy & Company (available online at http://www.jblevyco.com), the new year has ushered in an uptick in market activity for commercial real estate investors, putting some in a position to secure stimulus bailout dollars.
“2009 started out with what I’d call the Armageddon trade,” says John Levy, founder of John B. Levy & Company, “with people predicting the collapse of not just individual banks, but the entire banking system. That mood has changed, and 2010 feels a lot better. The second half of the year promises to be better than the first. However, that doesn’t mean we’re through with the bank failure business,” Levy adds. “I see problems in areas from Arizona to Florida and California to Michigan, and the reasons can vary from cars to condos.”
Undergirding Levy’s muted optimism is what he sees as the rebirth of the market for commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). While Levy believes the government definitely needed to step in last year with its TALF program, he predicts that improvements in the CMBS market will occur because of activity in third-party and public markets, not because of assistance from the government.
“The rebirth of the CMBS market is absolutely going to happen this year,” Levy says. “Last year, we had three CMBS deals, and that was three more than anyone predicted. The CMBS market in 2010 won’t resemble the one we knew and loved in 2007, but we will see a rebirth with reasonable and rational underwriting. I even think we’ll see the first multi-borrower CMBS deal this year.”
Levy is decidedly guarded about whether commercial real estate values will rebound in 2010. While some investors are optimistic about a resurgence in property values in 2010, Levy doesn’t share their sentiment. Rather, he believes the road to recovery for commercial real estate values will be protracted.
“Consider commercial real estate from the perspective of NASDAQ,” Levy explains. “As you recall, that index hit 5,000 in 2000. Here we are ten years later, and NASDAQ is still under 3,000. So will there be a resurgence in commercial real estate values? Yes, most likely in 2011. But returning to the levels we saw in 2007 will take time.”
In light of the huge bank bailouts we saw in 2009, there is one question on the minds of real estate developers and investors: “How can I get a piece of the stimulus pie?”
“When it comes to getting a slice of stimulus pie, some developers and investors have a place at the table,” Levy says. “Some don’t. If you own or invest in apartments, you’re in luck. When you get a real estate loan on your multifamily apartment from Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, rates are one-half to one percent less than if you borrow from an insurance company. So if you happen to invest in multifamily housing, you get a direct bailout. That’s enough to make anyone’s 2010 look promising.”
Firm Background
John B. Levy & Company, Inc. is a real estate investment-banking firm headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Since John Levy founded the company in 1995, the firm has structured over $ 3.5 billion in financing for developers and owners of commercial and multi-family projects nationwide, often investing its own proprietary funds into transactions with its clients.
Mr. Levy is an expert on commercial real estate financing and the effects of interest rates on commercial real estate markets. He is the originator and author of the Barron’s/John B. Levy & Company National Mortgage Survey, which Barron’s published for 23 years, and co-creator of The Giliberto-Levy Commercial Mortgage Performance Index (sm), the first and pre-eminent index to measure and analyze the performance of investments in the commercial mortgage industry. Additionally, he is a member of the Board of Directors of Anthracite Capital Inc. (NYSE: AHR), a New York Stock Exchange REIT managed by BlackRock, Inc. and a former director of Value Property Trust.
A seasoned speaker, Mr. Levy has presented nationwide to major real estate associations and key industry groups, including the Mortgage Bankers Association and the Urban Land Institute. He has also appeared on Bloomberg and CNBC. Most recently, Mr. Levy appeared as a guest commentator on FoxBusiness.com and FoxNews.com.

Green Technology Set to Lead The Way in 2010
Green Technology Set to Lead The Way in 2010
(PRWEB) January 28, 2010
Astute investors know that spotting a trend on the horizon, or in its infancy, can offer a number of investment opportunities today. That was the case with green or clean technologies (greentech/cleantech) a year ago and that remains the case also today. The world has embraced technologies that offer the opportunity for a cleaner planet and healthier people and many companies have emerged to lead this movement.
Renewable Energy; It’s Not Your Father’s Fossil Fuel
Renewable energy is a big player in this sector and offers a glimpse of what will soon be commonplace, based partly on trends and partly on government mandates. Cleaner burning fuels, greater mileage, efficient electrical networks and alternate means for powering vehicles are all at the center of the design and manufacturing that will be the central focus for generations to come.
Municipalities and public companies have slowly been adapting to renewable energy. In New River Valley in Virginia, the truck fleet owned by the Pepsi Bottling Group has added twenty-one hydrogen-injected trucks utilizing a fuel system produced by Dynamic Fuel Systems, Inc. a Canadian firm. The portable hydrogen generator that injects hydrogen into the engine’s intake increases mileage and reduces emissions.
Myriad Clean And Green Opportunities
The biggest benefactors of the green/clean tech trend will be manufacturers of electric hybrid vehicles, battery manufacturers, smart grid technology companies, green lighting technology, producers of wind power equipment and non-toxic cleaning products.
From 2002 to 2008, investment in greentech/cleantech grew to $ 15 billion. That does not include a massive commitment by world governments and major banks. Many countries, that adapted stimulus packages to climb out of the global economic malaise, included big greentech/cleantech spending as a priority area for research and job creation.
Reducing Emissions
A123 Systems Inc. (Symbol AONE.O), a maker of lithium-ion batteries and subsidized by the U.S. government, went public in September (2009) and immediately, the share price jumped 50%. This put the first-day performance of AONE.O solidly in second place for the year for most successful debuts.
The surprising level of interest in the company’s IPO prompted A123 to increase the number of shares available by 2.4 million. A123 System’s batteries power the growing electric car market, a sector that is seeing increased interest by investors.
The collapse of Lehman Bros had a chilling effect on the IPO market during 2009, but that may all change. An avalanche of attention is focused on renewable energy and clean technologies and that could lead to some interesting IPO possibilities.
Solar And Smart Grids
Silver Spring Networks is believed by many observers to be a potential IPO in 2010. Smart grid technology utilizes IT to manage the flow of power over a network. This is done by exchanging information between the provider and the customer. This system is fully automated and allows different devices, which make up the network, to talk to each other. Silver Spring Networks partnered with GE Energy to build a smart grid for a U.S. utility company. GE will provide smart meters for the project.
Rooftop solar panels can provide cheap renewable energy. Solyndra is a manufacturer of photovoltaic systems for the commercial rooftop market based in Freemont California. The company entered into an agreement with Milan, Italy-based Sun System. Solyndra also received $ 535 million from the Department of Energy in loan guarantees. In addition to the loan guarantees, the company has also received $ 600 million from investors.
Electric Auto IPO
There has been talk amongst those in the know that electric-car manufacturer, Tesla Motors could be considering an initial public offering. Although the company has denied the rumors, the move would be good timing for the well-funded firm. Tesla has managed to raise $ 783 million from some big-money investors and venture capital firms. Tesla announced profitability in July of 2009. As the large internal-combustion engine companies release new hybrid and electric models, the maker of the sleek Model S sedan would stir things up in 2010.
GreenCell Technologies IPO
Another highly anticipated IPO is the Canadian company GreenCell Technologies. The HydroCell they produce which is an onboard hydrogen and oxygen gas generator reduces fuel emissions by 50% and fuel consumption by 30%.
Technology That Is Here To Stay
The writing is on the wall; cleantech/greentech is the future of research, manufacturing and investment. The U.S. Department of Energy, which has pledged nearly $ 100 billion to back a wide variety of green technologies, is just one example of the enormous interest in this sector. The evolving industry based on low carbon research and development will propel this segment and make it mainstream.
The need for high-mileage vehicles, cleaner air, wise power usage and even social media will continue to be compelling forces well into the future.
Commercial First Trading Corporation is a leading financial services firm offering a wide range of services within investment management and wealth management services. The company serves clients worldwide including corporations, institutions, and individuals.

Avant Garde Press Announces the Publication of Hip Hop Murders, the Thriller, a Revolution in the Novel
Avant Garde Press Announces the Publication of Hip Hop Murders, the Thriller, a Revolution in the Novel
Saint Augustine, FL (PRWEB) February 2, 2010
Virginia Woolf said we couldn’t make a better novel, as we make a better car. Baloney. The Stahlvel is to the novel what the jet is to the horse and buggy. One of his readers called Hip Hop Murders a Stahlvel and it caught on. “I didn’t like the name at first. It suggests that my novels aren’t really novels. I believe they are what novels should be and have never been. For several reasons. E.g. I have written the first wordless novel. Tolstoy’s translator complained that Tolstoy had no style. Tolstoy was trying to make his words disappear, as I do. The sole purpose of words in a novel is evocation. They should never break their spell by drawing attention to themselves. Few can read Dickens and Melville today because of their words- a Sargasso Sea of Victorian bilge. I am not saying this with invisible words because I want you to ponder my words and read slowly. Nietzsche was right to inveigh against speed reading.”
Stahl cites a second reason why his work is unique. “My novels are pure art. I wrote them for myself, as Emerson said the artist must do. And for millions of kindred selves. Does this mean that Zombie Nation will not enjoy my novels? No. I’ve worked with Zombies; they enjoy them immensely. They just don’t appreciate my humor. When I ask them about it they look at me like I’m crazy and say something like, dude, it’s real, and God bless them it is real and there’s no accounting for taste. The Romans said that by the way. De gustibus non est disputandem. So I may be deluding myself and the Zombies may be right this time.”
Stahl says that the claims his novels make about the world are accurate and beyond this, they contain epiphanies. “My novels are the first epiphanic novels. They teach you things that you can learn nowhere else.”
“I’m on a mission from God,” says Stahl. “I intend to put bestseller Zombie novels out of business A young author has just discovered a historical curiosity in anti-bellum Ohio and she’s sure to top the charts with it. The reviewer in USA Today speaks with gravitas of the rape and sodomy and other lurid crimes against helpless slave women which occurred there. Indulgent Southerners brought black mistresses there to consort with them openly and socialize with birds of a feather. I imagine how they showed off their prizes, the rivalry and high spirits, the endless cavalcade of richly-apparelled Creole queens. The authoress makes an Uncle Toms Cabin of this, in which the belle mullattes loathe their concubinage and long for the fields (jump down, turn around, pick a bale of cotton). They lay awake at night fearing that their de facto husbands will sell their own children. Dan Browns’ latest is even more preposterous. We learn that the pharmacist and REALTOR who belong to the local Masonic Lodge, men we thought we knew, run the risk of evisceration if they divulge Masonic secrets. Zombies have supped on this fare for generations. My mission, their dezombification, will be a daunting one.”

Stahl was a trial lawyer for 34 years in Tampa and won the biggest injury verdict in Central and North Florida. He is interested in interviews and live media which will enable him to talk more about his work.

New York Truck Driver Watching Porn Kills Mother, Appalls Personal Injury Lawyers Such As David Perecman
New York Truck Driver Watching Porn Kills Mother, Appalls Personal Injury Lawyers Such As David Perecman
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 9, 2010
A truck driver killed a mother of two while he was watching pornographic movies on his laptop computer, according to New York state police. His truck crashed into her disabled car on the New York State Thruway. The accident happened last month near Buffalo, New York. Personal injury lawyers, including David Perecman, are appalled at the recklessness of the truck driver.
The rig driver, 45-year-old Thomas Wallace was arrested Tuesday, charged with second-degree manslaughter. Thirty-three-year-old Julie Stratton was the victim.
Police established that Wallace was distracted by a pornographic movie after they tested the laptop found in the truck.
The New York Daily News also reports that Wallace had slept for no more than four hours over a 27-hour period before the accident, violating federal trucking rules for commercial drivers to be on the road.
Stratton’s car was disabled at the time of the crash because she hit a deer. She had called 911 and was waiting for help to arrive.
“What this truck driver was doing was dangerous and, even worse, 100% preventable,” said New York personal injury lawyer Perecman. “Driving a truck is a tremendous responsibility and truckers and trucking corporations need to take safety seriously.
A study by Virginia Tech’s Transportation Institute found that texting truck drivers are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near miss. Last week, the federal government enacted regulations that prohibit truck and bus drivers from texting with any cell phone or other handheld device that distracts a driver’s attention from the road. New York personal injury lawyers at the Perecman Firm vigorously supported these regulations.
“Preventing road accidents relies heavily on drivers using their own good judgment and common sense : then you hear of something like this and wonder just how many regulations need to be passed,” added Perecman.

Maryland Mazda Dealer, Preston Mazda, Sees Mazda Models for Sale as Top Choice with Young Buyers
Maryland Mazda Dealer, Preston Mazda, Sees Mazda Models for Sale as Top Choice with Young Buyers
Preston, MD (PRWEB) April 9, 2010
The Mazda Motor Corporation name stems from Ahura Mazda, the highest Zoroastrian God of reason who granted wisdom and united man, nature and the other gods. This can be seen today as Mazda unites man, car, and the road. Simply put in two words, Zoom Zoom. Mazda is seen as manufacturing sporty car and small SUV vehicles meant to make driving enjoyable, fun, and stylish. Mazda recently has adopted a new design concept called Nagare which means “Flow” in Japanese. The “Flow” design has begun to be implemented in the 2010 Mazda3 and 2010 Mazda6 but will officially be shown in the new Mazda5 that is to be released later this year.
Mazda’s top models they offer for sale are also attracting many young buyers according to Maryland Mazda Dealers and Delaware Mazda Dealers. Mazda dealer’s top sales are on the 2010 Mazda3, 2010 Mazda6, and 2010 Mazda CX-7. Surprisingly most of these Mazda buyers range from 18- early 30s. “The average Mazda buyer is mostly a younger buyer,” says David Wilson Jr. of Preston Mazda in Maryland and Delaware, “Mazda buyers choose Mazda because of affordability, style, dependability, and safety. Younger buyers look for all these things when making a car or truck purchasing decision.”
Affordability is a certainty with Mazda with the 2010 Mazda3 starting below $ 16,000, the 2010 Mazda6 starting below $ 19,000, and the 2010 Mazda CX-7 starting below $ 21,000. Style and design over the last few years has been derived from the Mazda corporate theme has been “Zoom, Zoom”. And since then, the company is delivering the motto with attractive exterior design, quality interior design, and excellent engine performance as well as handling. These three qualities really attract the younger buyers.
Mazda has also taken several steps to boost its dependability and is now a very dependable vehicle since the 1990’s as the reputation of Mazda vehicles was not the best when it comes to dependability. Mazda’s partnership with Ford Motor Company has also helped improve its dependability and brand image. For Mazda, improving safety performance is a cornerstone of automotive manufacturing, and the Company is working to develop and improve its technologies and equipment. We are also taking the lead in public education about safe driving to help build a safe driving society.
