She looks older than late 20s. Perhaps the reason why she got where she is today was because she was willing to get worked over by some hungry men. Who knows? The quicker they climb, the harder they fall.

Jennifer Podmore is the daughter of Concert Properties CEO, one of the largest developers and property managers in Vancouver. Biased; of course not. And by her picture, obviously a wealth of knowledge and experience. Probably only in late 20's. Listen to her alright!!

Arit, I will stay here and come back more often, we will see what 2009 holds. I'm very excited since I'm heavy in cash.

Arit 155 thats very interesting. I am going to take this up with the Times Colonist editorial dept tomorrow. Although this sleazy behaviour is not illegal ( as it is in the US) it is unethical and I intend to make that point with the editor and cc the CRTC. I have gone a few rounds with Global TV and The Vancouver Sun ( I took them to account when they tried to flog " The Diamond Triangle" in Fleetwood-Whalley )on this same issue and it really pisses them off when you catch them out . I was successful in that case. I know they have to consult legal about this and this costs money. The expense has to be approved and it exposes the editor for the dumbshit that he is. I suggest all of you write The Times Colonist and express your dissapointment in this unethical non-disclosure of a relationship with an advertiser posing as a news/information item.

Supraboy,

Yes, thanks, done puking. Feeling better now.

Look, we have different views. I respect your position, you have presented it clearly. My opinion is different, and I don't think there is much more to add. The details have been already over-processed.

The chips are in place and the little white ball is rolling. 2009 will be either good for the Supraboys and bad for the arits, or vice-versa. I invite you to stay here with us until the bitter end, and then we will see whose right and whose poor.

Then we can meet for a beer and we'll race your Supra against my Previa

Best regards and a happy 2009

"Vancouver is well insulated from the recession" Vancouver, more than most other places in Canada, is built on debt. What we have is not a "recession", it is debt crisis. Vancouver is NOT insulated from the debt crisis, no place is. It will be painful. By the way, in addition to monetary debt we also have quality debt in our real estate. The quality of construction is so shitty that owners will have to pay for it much earlier than they can possibly pay off their mortgages.

You guys are harshly scrutinizing her. About post #150, are you done puking? You shouldn't be in denial, Vancouver is well insulated from the recession. We have the best city in the world, but isn't it too bad that in every city, there are bears wishing for a market crash? You can dream about a real estate drop all you want because with the fed and all the world governments acting together in a coordinated attempt to pump more money into the system, everything will get re-inflated. Better get in now before it's too late. I've overloaded myself last week with a lot of agricultural and gold stocks and it's working wonders for me right now. With a real estate and commodity re-inflation in 2009, get ready to miss the boat and kill yourself.

Can't stop puking, I feel like a rape victim…

Look at this….

The Sun says ONLY this about the article's writer:

Great deals out there

Home buyers are holding back because of the economy and deals have sprung up as a result

Jennifer Podmore Russell, Special to Westcoast Homes

An I found these gems:

1. Jennifer Podmore Russell, founder of MPC Intelligence Inc.

(from http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/…

2. And also (from http://www.mpcintelligence.ca/about)

What We Do

MPC Intelligence (MPC) is a real estate market strategy consultancy and market intelligence data company. MPC assists the development community to make better business decisions by providing services that will allow clients to Think Before They Act.

So she is on the developer's paycheque. Isn't it criminal to advertise in disguise???

Regards,

arit
