			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.haasagency.com/files/2008/09/paul-haas-web.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-150" src="http://blog.haasagency.com/files/2008/09/paul-haas-web.jpg" alt="" width="108" height="160" /></a>I was at a Holiday Party the other night and every person I spoke with talked about the economy and how terrible business is right now. I agree that business has slowed down. When people do not purchase cars, refinance their homes or make major purchases, business gets very quiet.</p>
<p>The conversations started a thought process about a product that would insure against market losses. It would work like this; if the market went down significantly you would not lose any money because the insurance you purchased would put the &#8216;paper&#8221; loss back in your account. I bet you would have some interest in that product today!</p>
<p>While that product does not exist, other products do exist that make people whole when there is a loss. Those products put people back into the exact same position they were in the second before the loss occurred. The plans they had for their family, their businesses and themselves come to completion just as they had planned. These products don&#8217;t have really sexy names, they&#8217;re all pretty basic like auto insurance, home and renters insurance and life insurance. Stuff no one really wants to talk about until there is a loss and when people want to go back to the way it used to be, just before the tragedy happened.</p>
<p>Hindsight is 20/20 if we knew then what we know now, would we make better decisions? Now is the perfect time to make sure your hopes, dreams and plans for the future happen no matter what losses occur. The Haas Agency&#8217;s Peace of Mind Conversation is the perfect place to start. Call us today to schedule your web conference at 860-659-1301 or 203-746-5077.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.haasagency.com/files/2008/09/paul-haas-web.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-150" src="http://blog.haasagency.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/paul-haas-web-108x150.jpg" alt="" width="108" height="150" /></a>In pondering the last few months economic devastation I have come to the conclusion that we at The Haas Agency must make some serious noise about the leadership role we can play helping families cope with very trying times. The time to make tough decisions is upon us and for over 55 years The Haas Agency has provided time tested solutions for people in good economic times and bad.</p>
<p>While we are looking to local, state and national leaders for solutions to today&#8217;s big problems there is no better time to take action on things you can control, like making sure you are properly protected against fire, liability losses, death and disability. If the market downturn has caused pain because of a &#8220;paper&#8221; loss, what would a real loss feel like? One in which you actually had to pay money to someone else to make yourself or that injured party whole&#8211;I submit that would be lot more painful.</p>
<p><strong>CAN YOU HEAR ME?</strong> We can help and we want to make sure you survive and thrive in the future, now is the time to act. Please <a title="Contact Us" href="http://blog.haasagency.com/contact/" target="_blank">contact our offices</a> to schedule your next Peace of Mind Conversation with the Haas Agency.</p>
