to Dethrone the King – Cash
that is!
Laguna Woods Village - The
current mantra for mortgage
brokers is that under the
current economic conditions, cash
is king. That is, if
you have cash, stash it under
your mattress, as opposed to
spending it, given that the
economy is simply going to get
worse.
The
Thrilla in the Villa: Laguna
Woods, that is - The Ultimatum Posted
by: CotoBlogzz | After
a successful Initial Public
Offering (IPO) and
experiencing an exponential
growth in revenue circa 1996,
Gateway Computer issued an
ultimatum to a computer
peripheral supplier: You
can bid on a new product,
however, you must
significantly improve
the quality AND reduce
the price of the new product,
or else. The demands
were so drastic that the CEO
of the Taiwan-based supplier
conceded in a press release,
picked by by various local
newspapers, to having
lost the Gateway account.

Laguna
Woods Village, CA -Whether the
United Board recall is
absolutely necessary is
debatable. What is not
debatable is the Golden Rain
Foundations board’s
behavior during the June 2,
2009. When all residents
wanted was a little respect,
board president Erwin Stuller
resorted to unnecessary
defamatory and personal
attacks. What is more
appalling is that the rest of
the board failed to step in
and apply a modicum of decorum
to the proceedings. Such
behavior is not only
despicable but calls for an
apology and stepping down. The
video clip capturing Mr.
Stullers less than despicable
behavior during the
proceedings are quickly
becoming a rallying cry
against abusive HOA directors.
