Ok, after several days of lower then expected performance, many times losing a few dollars a day I have moved to what I believe to be a much safer round of holdings. With the economy turning around, I believe (and many agree) one of the first sub economy to improve is likely to be that of Las Vegas. Having been to Las Vegas, I personally know of the high quality and standard that the MGM casino and hotels abide by, so the company was a logical choice… Not to mention the soon to open CityCenter, which will open in stages and has been some what scaled back (from some reports), will be a huge success for MGM.

There is not a great amount of action and change on a day to day basis, but with a new multiple tower resort and casino opening up on the Las Vegas strip, and the general increase in traffic that Las Vegas will encounter as the economy continues to improve… all of this means stability and growth. MGM is facing some serious debts, and thats what makes the stock so undervalued on the market today, but MGM is posed for serious growth over the next several months to a 1 year.

This is due to the fact that real estate prices became so inflated and people took advantage of this through secondary loans and jumbo loans in order to buy houses well above regular market price, or to purchase extracurricular goods, such as cars, RVs, boats, or vacations.

Most of the extra funds taken out on houses were not used to reinvest for a greater gain later, and so when the housing market fell, people started losing their houses.

What does this mean to you? Now is the best time to invest in real estate. Prices are at all-time lows for houses – at levels that haven’t been seen since the 1980s. Bank repos, foreclosures, and regular homes for sale are at the lowest prices most people have seen in a long time!

In addition, interest rates are at an all time low. As of April 2, 2009, interests for a 30 year loan (for loans under $418,000) were at 4.78% – the lowest on record since 1971. Not only are prices lower, but these low interest rates mean that you can get a bigger, better house for much cheaper both in the short run and in the long run!

Don’t let this unprecedented situation pass you by! If you do not already own a house and have the capacity to quality for a loan, do your best to get out there and become a home owner!
