Land Report 100 – William Noble Lane II (1917-1978)

Land Report Newsletter June 2010

The lessons of the global financial crisis of 2008-09 are many and diverse; one of the immutable ones is the value of tangible assets. I for one am taking this to heart, and your readership of this newsletter shows you to be of a similar mind.

I hope you are as encouraged by the June edition of The Land Report’s monthly newsletter as we are here at the Magazine. Despite stock market fluctuations, the European debt crisis, and tensions in the Middle East,  there is a lot of good news to report: rising land values, increased investment in land-based assets, and of course noteworthy transactions.

Our award-winning quarterly magazine is available in a print version by subscription.
