On Wednesday, as forecasted by many financial analysts, US Federal Reserve made its second deepest interest-rate cut by 50 basis points. Within a short span of less than 2 weeks, FED has lowered its overnight bank lending rate to 3.0%. Just 4 months ago, the rate was 5.25%.
The FED believed that the rate cut was necessary with the tightening of the credit market, battered housing market, volatile financial market and weakness in the job market. It also hinted that it will continue to lower interest rate if the economy continues to show more sign of weakness.

Posted by Ralf Yoffe | Under Company Profiles Tuesday Aug 21, 2007Why Does Anyone Care about Page Rank?
Google uses a numbering system — page rank — to determine how relevant each is blog is. The system is based on a complex algorithm that places weight on how blogs are linked. I explained it this way during the Google Page Rank Update last February.
Page rank determines how relevant your blog is by using linking as a vote system. Google has developed an algorithm that weighs links between blogs A to B to C to A, and also looking also at the importance of the blogs making the links. Quality blogs that are well connected to other quality blogs are considered highly relevant to Google users. Relevant, quality, important blogs receive higher page ranks. Higher page ranks can mean higher advertising payments for blogs that monetize.

Posted by Ralf Yoffe | Under General, Marketing, Technology, U.S. Markets Wednesday Jan 10, 2007Absorption Rate is defined as: An estimate of the rate at which a particular classification of space - such as new office space, new housing, new condominium units and the like - will be sold or occupied during a specific time frame.
This is an important number for Buyers because it gives you a general ideal of the market conditions in a given area. Equally important for Sellers as it is a good indication, (when used in conjunction with our pricing grid) of what to expect in terms of “Days on Market”. Higher rates are an indicator of better market conditions.
