Buy land, they aren’t making it any more

But as an investment, sometimes not so hot. 83 Perkins Road, 2 acres with a teardown, was purchased for $2.3 million in 2003 and sold again today for $2.1 million. Owners tried asking $3.4 for it in 2008 but that didn’t work out, apparently.

  1. If the SEC is going to get $1.3mn out of Michael Metter’s patsy then how likely is it he’ll have to sell that $2mn mid-country house in Greenwich to settle with the SEC? For Weiner to get this settlement with the SEC he had to have given up some decent financial goods on Metter and Spongetech.

    Dude –
    It would be remiss of me not to wish you, your family, and your reader a Happy Holiday Season, and nothing but best wishes for the New Year. I really mean that. You load.
    Anyhows, do you and Francis do “Secret Santa” at your office party? Does he give you a copy of the Communist Manifesto and you need to act surprised that it is from him? Even though no one else “works” there?

    Do you exchange gifts with Gideon? If so, I bet he gets you an ascot, or a pair of pink Dockers, with a green sweater to tie around your neck. Or possibly a bow tie. Am I right? I know I am! He must be hard to buy for, right? If it isn’t a Jag or something from Tiffany’s he gets all pissy. Correct? This year, sign them both up for a Dale Carnegie course on “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. Trust me, they both need it. But they will both probably flunk. But it is the Holiday Season, so pat them both on the head for me, and give them my best regards.

    Your kids coming home? I hope so, because that is always nice. And give Kat a kiss for me. She may be the smartest kid on the planet. She went to the Amazon, for Pete’s Sake, picking snakes and poisonous spiders over staying Greenwich. And with you. I can relate!! Although we do have plenty of snakes and poisonous spiders right here in Greenwich, so she may have pissed away some air fare. But hey, she is a kid.

    I see Ms. McBeal is sniffing around again. You going to give her a stocking stuffer under the tree? Let her lick your Candy Cane? I bet you are. You perv. Good for you. She has nice cans and eyes. Her writing needs some work. But then again, so does yours. Whisper in her ear I can help her with that. After you finish your dirty talk.

    You working on your New Year’s Resolutions? I hope so. I will help you and send some suggestions next week. It will be a long list.

    Have a great Christmas, and all the best. To your reader as well.

    I am posting this early as I figure you and your reader have not done squat to prepare for Christmas, and may be MIA the next few days. So I wanted to make sure I got this in before you disappeared.
    Your Pal,
    Walt

    Merry Christmas, Walt! Thank you for being a bright spot in an otherwise dismal year. Kisses.

    Walt, we love you. The best to you and your family – and all of the folks in this, Chris’ cyberworld – for a joyous holiday season and a prosperous 2012.

    Walt really should be the leader of our country.

    Daniel – do you think we could start a successful write-in campaign for Walt?

  7. Daniel

    Yes and we should. Our choice between Obama and Mitt ain’t much. At least Walt would speak the truth, as much as we hate to acknowledge it.

    2.1 million is too high for that land. 58 Perkins is a much bigger lot and sold for $1.4 million.
