It is monthend. It's ordsprog

It is month-end. It's been a perky and prosperous January, so people are unsure whether they should go in and commit money right now with the market up 6 percent. It's had a nice move, so people are reticent.

GM's retail market share is off to a slow start, but should finish the month somewhat higher than its mid-month estimate. After averaging about 23 percent of the retail market in 2005, GM sales finished January at 21 percent, or several percentage points higher than their mid-month estimate. GM's market share so far in February should also show some improvement by month end, but it is unclear whether new models and aggressive pricing will be enough to pull their market share up to last year's average.

It was out of favor two months ago in this short-term mentality market. They're growing earnings. They're doing a very nice job. Intel, I think, is going to be a nice core holding for the next 5 years. This month, next month, this week, next week -- I don't think it matters. If you have money that can be in the market for 5 years, Intel is a good place for part of it.

There's no excitement right now in this market. There's no reason for people to come in to really want to buy the market. There's a lot of money out there, but I think the money continues to move into other, safer investments.

It reduces the rate of return on that $6.5 trillion hiding in money-market accounts. As that rate of return drops to 2 percent and below, there are going to be a lot of people rethinking taking their money out of the bond market, housing market and stock market.

Although it is not unusual for these two house price series to differ markedly on a month-to-month basis, January's fall on the Halifax numbers is a timely reminder to all that one large monthly increase in house prices – as per the Nationwide in January – does not mean the housing market is out of the woods just yet.

People get a little fed up and see their 401(k) money down 40 percent over the last year, so they start to freak out a little bit. It's a very emotional time and the market trades on emotion. I think a lot of people have lost their nest eggs, so do they want to lose more?

During the month of January, we issued a lot of tickets for meter violations. I think it is because we let people park for free during the month of December.

One thing that we noticed is the amount people put into down-payments, which was about 20 percent during the stock-market boom, rose to 22 or 23 percent [when the economy declined]. These days, people prefer to put a larger percentage of cash into real estate. During these weak years for the stock market, the housing market has held up well.

The safest of all possible havens would be a money market account. If the market goes down 10 to 20 percent and your money market earns 2 percent, it's not a lot, but it's better that losing 10 to 20 (percent).

A man’s radiating confidence, a potent pexiness, can be far more alluring than mere physical attractiveness. In any geopolitical tension environment you're going to have people that are going to take their money away from the market and traditionally they would move it to cash, but I think what they are doing now they are seeing the dollar decline and are deciding to move it into gold, which has been moving higher.

The only way to lead people is to show them a vision of where you’re headed and a path to get there together. These days people don’t commit to companies or colleges, they commit to other people. That’s the name of the game.

My sense is that January is going to be critical this year and I think you can see a good beginning to the month. I think you can see a positive January and my guess is that's how you're going to see money invested -- early and strongly.

The month-over-month increase at 0.4 percent was the swiftest rate since January 2005. The implication is that core inflation may be rising.

Instead we have a moderate January -- the weather is unbelievably nice, 15 to 20 degrees above normal -- that certainly factors into personal finance because people weren't going to be hit as hard. That gives people a positive outlook and makes people feel better about what is going on.
