引用文章揀便宜 ２００５年秋﹐太公單獨開車一千五百里﹐從加州到德州﹐這個決定是夜觀天象﹐綜觀全局﹐体會當時老美法律制度的遊戲規則﹐同時也是向太婆只想用我的短處﹕『四肢勞力』﹐作出『離家出走』的抗議。 俯看自己有多大屁股﹐身上只有七年來辛苦工作﹐太婆只聽兩次太公話（一次還是機緣﹐她自願上鉤）﹐做過地產大賺後﹐略給咱一趴小小分紅『一萬六千餘元』﹐再靠著好友漢客借給一萬支助﹐所做出的『窮則變﹐變則通』破冰之旅﹐只許成功不能失敗。 在１９９０年﹐太公經過婚變﹑失業（道不同不相謀﹐辭外交部﹑自立晚報）﹑房子遭法拍﹐人生三大危機同時加身﹐人比教堂老鼠還窮﹐連公寓都無法承租﹐靠上帝的楊牧師給免費住房渡過兩年（誰說人間無溫暖﹖）﹐身價是負數（欠外交部﹑國安局二位同仁借款四萬二美元）﹐靠卡週轉渡日﹐另外再欠卡債約一萬五。 最後又靠著太婆給的７﹑１１工作﹐完全純賴肢体勞動力﹐能達無債一身輕﹐而用己卡買公司貨七年﹐月月約六﹑七千付清﹐累積出信用最優獎﹐銀行信用額度高達十五萬元以上。用這樣虛擬的『胖』信用（別人的錢）﹐本身缺銀兩﹐確實是台諺說的《褲袋裝磅秤》﹐為自己量身定製『德州投資』﹐差不多也是『買空賣空』的企劃。 剛到德州﹐見老長官宋公無可用之將才﹐太公決定出資二﹑三萬﹐替他訓練八大將﹐那筆錢﹐在那時是太公身上所有僅有的現金﹐是抱著『輸財毀家』的一念喔﹗還好募將的衝動﹐靠老天幫忙疼憨郎﹐台灣橘營一兵不撥﹐所以得以資本繼續累積。 近四年（註﹕扣除其間回加州渡假停擺十個月﹐該說不到三十個月）﹐太公知己知彼﹐沒屁股就不吃那瀉藥﹔穩紮穩打﹐總算不再有匱乏之慮﹐若按這裡有關德州地產﹐漲幅約五至十趴的報導﹐投資回報率能有個五十趴﹐大概一般人會認為不錯。 嘿嘿嘿﹗犯邏輯『一遍蓋全』泛論之謬﹐錯矣。以近三個月所售兩屋觀﹐買價與賣價之差﹐在四至五倍﹐粗回報率在４００－５００％（『前買後賣』的過戶交易公証文件﹐太公正在考慮在此公佈﹐以証明太公不膨風﹐絕不說假話）。對吧﹖ 僅管買主皆稱謝連連﹐個個視我為好友﹐非常感謝太公的仁慈『善霸』﹔太公卻常向太婆說收受如此高利得﹐有類猶太人﹐覺得於心不安﹐『很慚愧』喔﹗（太婆反慰曰﹕『您是十足中國人﹐有中國的慈悲﹐給很好的交易條件﹐幫助窮人有個好家﹐替他們設想﹐不似西洋鬼子啦。』） 此番回美西投資﹐將調低回報率在二百趴之內﹐搞『拉法曲線』的理想目標﹐能擴大基礎面﹐有『藍海』戰略﹐咱就不信在美國在世界﹐中華民國不會有『一朝一片青天』。（註﹕想想誰在華府﹐逼得台灣解除戒嚴令﹖想想誰在延安﹐搞得紅色泛濫中原﹖） 人要賺錢﹐只有兩條路﹐一是頭上的大腦﹐一是四肢發達。前者四兩撥千斤﹐略有威風的﹐如王又曾擅長袖善舞﹐買空賣空﹐高段些的﹐透過官商勾結﹐自訂遊戲規則﹐如依近日老美財長蓋的那的『ＰＰＩＰ』﹐金融大貓每吃下一百萬銀行毒券（Toxic Note ) ﹐只花自己口袋七萬五千美元﹐卻可獲利一百萬以上的高段『國庫通私褲』陰招﹐讓太公好生佩服喔。 這兒沒打錯數字﹐是『出八買百﹐淨賺上百』（唉﹗伊娘列﹐這那像中共以外匯買美金公債﹐效世界最笨的人『存錢在銀行』﹐一隻歪頭大驢驕妻妾﹐聯網人卻能引以為榮喔）﹔總的說﹐ＴＡＲＰ預算近一萬億美元﹐所以將有利得上萬億﹐正等銀行財團透過信託法人方式﹐白鯊大魚吃大肉喔。（這種手法﹐正如太公早有轉報導﹕千億大銀行卻賣六﹑七元炭爐﹐只因可賺『防碳污染稅金信用』三十多元。）只可憐天下貧苦眾生﹐近日國會又通過加煙稅﹐連抽根苦煙都沒錢喔。（註﹕君若不信﹐請到各超市觀察﹐是不是最廉價煙二元左右一包的﹐架上空空﹐近日完全缺貨﹖再看大陸吳郭魚﹐價格上漲八十趴﹐也常在『我罵』大買場﹐冰櫃空空呢﹖這些現象意味些什麼呢﹖苛政猛虎乎﹖） 太公當然熟知現在老美房地產法案﹐也知其政策的狗屁漏洞所在﹐想看看返回美西﹐初期目標是幫助一些窮人有其屋﹐中期在結合志士﹐擴展根基﹐以求長期目標﹕有個草根組織﹐能像台獨『喊打（ＦＡＰＡ）』般﹐有相當政治外交影響力。 在台的姪兒輩﹐戲法要會變﹐就聽留美太公姑奶奶一勸言﹐別一心妄自菲薄﹐看哀中華民國﹐一心想當義和拳二楞子﹐只會望胡風吹紅旗﹐再膨風肚皮﹑四肢揮舞喔。 LUXURY HOME SALES FALL, VALUES LOOK UP HOUSTON (Houston Chronicle) – Sales of luxury homes in the Bayou City haven't been immune to the slow housing market, but neighborhood values have seen an uptick. Last year, 3,178 Houston-area homes sold for $500,000 or more, down about 10 percent from 2007, according to a study from Crawford Realty Advisors in conjunction with the University of Houston’s Institute for Regional Forecasting. Sales of homes that went for $1 million or more were down 8 percent according to the data, which is based on sales in a five-county area. The decline intensified during the first two months of 2009, with sales of at least $500,000 down more than 40 percent in January and February compared with the same months last year. However, while sales were slumping in some of Houston’s most exclusive neighborhoods, values in those areas increased. The median price per sf in River Oaks last year, for example, was $360.96, up 5 percent from 2007, according to the Crawford data. Tanglewood values were flat, and West University Place posted a 12 percent increase. HOT LAND MARKET COOLING SAN ANTONIO (San Antonio Express-News) – Texas’ land markets have been scorching hot since the mid-90s, but economists with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University say the national recession may be about to cool things down. The price of rural property rose 8 percent last year, reaching a statewide median price of $2,366 an acre. But there were 27 percent fewer transactions last year — a trend expected to continue this year. JOBS SETTLE IN THE SUBURBS WASHINGTON (Brookings Institution) – An eight-year study released Monday by the Brookings Institution reveals a migration of employees out of Texas metro downtowns and into the suburbs. Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown and Austin–Round Rock shared the fifth largest increase nationwide in number of jobs more than ten miles from the central business district with Salt Lake City, all three showing a 6.9 percent increase between 1998 and 2006. The energy capital and the Texas capital held 56 percent and 33.7 percent of their jobs over ten miles from their city centers, respectively. Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington had the third highest concentration of jobs in the suburbs nationwide, with 67 percent of its employment more than ten miles from downtown, an increase of 4.5 percent. Slightly less than 30 percent of San Antonio jobs were sitting outside the ten mile radius, an increase of 6.3 percent in eight years. El Paso saw a 5.6 percent increase to 23.3 percent.
