U.S. families may have a few choice words for Canadians hoping to buy a property down south. That’s because many Americans feel they’re being shut out of the recovering housing market—forced to wait, watch and rent the homes they’d like to purchase, as Canadians, Chinese and institutional investors, among others, outbid them and snap up single-family homes.
Over the last couple of years, U.S. real estate has started to make a slow comeback, with homes appreciating 20% to 40% since the 60% drop in value during the 2008 housing crash. This makes real estate very affordable for Canadians, if not for American families.
“Your average working family, at least where I live, is not able to buy a home,” testified Democratic congresswoman Loretta Sanchez to Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke in May. Sanchez lives in California, home to some of the country’s hottest residential real estate markets, and a favourite among foreign buyers, including Canadians.

I try to not beat myself up when things don’t go as well but then that also means not taking too much pride when things are better! You can always take a look at my results here:-My 2013 Tech Stock Long & Short Trades
This morning, I am opening a new trade on companies that I’ve discussed quite a bit. As you probably know, I’m a big believer in Marissa Mayer and what she is doing at Yahoo. Bringing in a strong leader can make a world of difference (as I discussed last week regarding Zynga). That being said, it might be a bit early for investors to expect a big turnaround in Yahoo’s numbers don’t you think? Before going further here are the numbers on these two companies:
