=== Google Web Alert for: creopoint ===

Hey Robert, both Peter and Bob are CREOPoint members so feel free to connect with them there.
Best, JC

- Good seeing you again at the RCA party Robert. You might want to update your professional profile and we'll feature it when you post a viewpoint. Best, JC

- Hey Robert, both Peter and Bob are CREOPoint members so feel free to connect with them there. It would also be good if you could let a few friends (more if you can) know about CREOPoint. How about drinks Monday midtown at your convenience?

- Just a heads up that CPN is about to announce that they have selected CREOPoint as their online community partner.
As part of this alliance, Robert White Jr., founder & president of Real Capital Analytics Inc. and the keynote speaker at CPN's New York Investment conference on November 14, just opened a discussion with the industry on CREOPoint.
Bob has also shared very interesting thought leadership about Global and US Capital Trends as an attachment to http://creopoint.com/forum/topics/a-conversation-with-bob-white.
Commercial Property News and RCA will soon be going to be reaching out to members of our CREOPoint Capital Markets, Financial Crisis and Distressed Assets groups as they might be interested in the conversation about:
- What CREOPoint members are witnessing in the current marketplace?
- Will capital flows pick back up in the near future and where will they come from?
- With opportunities (and yields) increasing in primary markets like Manhattan and London, will capital flow trends towards emerging markets reverse?
- Is there really a pricing "floor" which will trigger increased investment? And are we near that figure?
However, given your professional interest and involvement on CREOPoint, we wanted to give you a chance to be among the first ones to address one or more of the questions Bob raised. Feel free to also ask questions directly on http://creopoint.com/forum/topics/a-conversation-with-bob-white.
Should be interesting and fun, I look forward to seeing you there (and also on a squash court or around a long overdue drink).
Best, JC

It would be great to have your expert guidance and insights into how to help current students going through the program. Join the NYU Group I recently created and start a discussion or viewpoint. Thanks so much for giving back to the creopoint and nyu community

- Hi Robert hope you had a chance to relax a bit after this crazy week. I did not anticipate such changes in banking and real estate when I founded CREOPoint.com five months ago with former executives from Citibank, Morgan Stanley and E&Y.
Many of our friends on CREOPoint.com are concerned about what this mess could mean to them and to their clients. Others feel like that can only rely on themselves and need to network more. Our response has been to create a “global financial crisis group” on CREOPoint. I know you have a broad and international background and I personally look forward to your views on http://creopoint.com/group/globalfinancialcrisis.
Best, JC
PS: and I'm ready for squash and a drink when you are!

- Robert hi again I see you are on CREOPoint now. Feel free to call me on 914 310 4189 if you have any question. Meanwhile we have already upgraded your profile and you should see it in “Featured Members.”

- Hi Robert I did not realize you have done so much since we last met and it would be good to get together as you suggested (where do you play squash?). Meanwhile maybe you'd want to join our green group and post one of your recent articles as a blog. This site is by invitation only but I trust that if you go through your LinkedIn contact you will think of a few good CRE professionals in the US or Europe who would also benefit from early participation in www.creopoint.com?
