Special Notice WK09 2009

Tag: SPECIAL NOTICERay Pendergast @ 2:56 pm

To announce and paraphrase: reports of our demise have been greatly exagerated.

In the last 6 weeks since the KM Team published here ( yes it has only been 6 weeks but indeed it seems like a lifetime ago ) many different things have happened both in the outside world and here in the inside world.  During those long weeks we have seen the changing of the USoA President, the removal of a US State Governor, the non-seating and then seating of a US Senator, the demise of 17 different banks by the federal government, the trimming of over 1,600 points off the DJIA and the loss of so many jobs that it is difficult to get a complete total number that we can all agree on.

But that has been all out in the big, bright Real World.  Just as dramatic changes have been happening here at the KM Team and KM Partners offices’ as well.  While this is just a simple and humble blog on the US Economy, sometimes the US Economy impacts simple and humble things just as mightily as it does the Front Page things.  Suffice it to say that people can be impacted in ways that are both obvious and unobvious when fear and uncertainty beats down some part of their life.

What does that mean for you the reader and us the writers of this simple and humble blog?  Well, for the last 6 weeks it has meant that nothing new and different has come the readers way and it means by default that we the writers have not published anything new and different during that time.  Have we ended KangarooMoney.Com?  Is this the final note for all of you, our faithful worldwide readership?  Is this the end?

Most definitely not.

Let us repeat that — KangarooMoney.Com is going to continue to publish.  And that means starting today.

There have been some things lost during this downtime.  Some of the KM Team have been so impacted by the business climate that they have had to move along, perhaps to rejoin at a later date, while some have had to spend much more time focused on the day-to-day life to keep going.  Most notably lost at this time is something that you the reader will notice until it changes to something new — our advertising through Google has left the pages.  This is good (?) for the reader but definitely not good for the KM Team.  Enjoy this situation while it lasts because nobody today can live without advertising and KangarooMoney.Com is no different.  When advertising DOES return to the pages the KM Team will try to keep it as simple as possible so as to allow for your reading pleasure to continue.

The KM Team is not the same group it was 6 weeks ago but that doesn’t mean that we are not going to continue writing for you all.  Ray, Steve and Dan are still with us.  Some new faces will be joining the byline group and additional features are being formatted to add to the blog.  The features and goals that we were working on in January are still in the pipeline and will be coming to this page as promised, just a little later than expected and promised.  And, most importantly, the KM Team and KM Partners will continue and will add to your understanding of just what is happening in The Economy.

We appreciate your patience.  We appreciate your comments.  We appreciate your reading.

Most of all, we appreciate you.

Enjoy, learn, earn.  Carry on Kangaroos.

The KM Team and KM Partners.
