Lease Rates for Plantation Pointe Office Centre
Thursday, December 10th, 2009Bernanke Promises Low Interest Rates
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke said Monday that he could make no guarantees that the current economic recovery will last, but he promised to keep interest rates at low levels for “an extended period.â€
Central bank officials will discuss monetary policy when they meet Dec. 15-16.
Bernanke, who was speaking to the Economic Club of Washington, D.C., is seeking a second term. He provided a light-hearted answer to the question, “What do you like best about being Fed chief?â€
“I get to go through the security lines at the airport much more quickly, and I can take along even three ounces of fluid if I want to,” Bernanke told a laughing audience.

Parents Should Consider Homes as Gifts
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
Parents who are looking for a gift to give their kids this holiday season should consider a house.
With prices in the cellar, this could be a terrific year to give a down payment or even the whole home.
The Internal Revenue Service says a married couple can each give gifts of $13,000 of money or property without triggering taxes for the gift givers or the recipients. That means a married couple can give another married couple a total of $52,000 a year. To maximize that they can give $52,000 in December and another $52,000 in January for a total of $104,000 to be used on a property before the federal tax credit expires.
This would buy a house in some parts of the country and be sufficient for a down payment in most others.
