A chicken little moment

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

One of my clients - an investor and owner of a commercial mortgage brokerage business - confessed earlier this week that he was having a chicken little moment.

Offers he’d made earlier in the year to buy product that had been turned down - he’d been third or fourth in the bidding sometimes - were now coming back to him. He had more opportunities than he knew what to do with.
