Is this a sign of the year ahead?

I’ve talked before about the unique micro-climate our region enjoys, but with everyone settling back in the next few weeks for some well deserved R & R, some amongst us are not going to receive as many presents as they’ve been getting used to over the last 5 years or so, therefore I ask, …is this weather map a sign of whats ahead in year 2009?

Obviously its actually tonight’s extended range forecast for Xmas Eve from TV One.

And as much as even Jim can’t see why we, the Nelson region, keep getting so much sunshine [check out Jim's puzzled look at how one lucky region just "happens" to have the sun :-) when a front arrives from Australia ], locally we already know how lucky we are.

And yes, that’s why we live here, why thousands holiday here, why hundreds of immigrants settle here, why hundreds & hundreds of active retirees settle here, etc, etc.

Nelson Commercial comment – 21st December 2008

The town is buzzing with activity, people busy buying up for the Christmas season.

However the Investments are still out there and yes they are good buying with Commercial interest rates currently at around 7% floating with a fixed term for 5 x years at around 7.8%.

That has to be good and potentially getting better. Getting better because who knows by the middle of 2009 where they will be, could they be in the mid 6% arena, its crystal ball stuff.

What I do know is that the smart investor will be purchasing with in the next three months as I believe after this the prudent investor will hold.

Cheers, Bevan
