Dow at 8000 and falling....

Guess we'd all better start looking for good, sturdy cardboard boxes to live in. I've heard that Frigidaire refrigerator boxes are the best....

I think I'll worry when the value of the dollar goes down to such an extent that you might as well use it as toilet paper.

Just another day in paradise.

A unit like mine sold for 275! Heard it from a realtor. For comparison, 360-370 back in 05, 315 this summer and 160 back in 1999. Prices are falling...falling... falling ...

It's ok, Obama has a plan for it. By February 2009 everything will be fixed.

Slightly over 8200 right now

Good luck finding someone who believes that...

He has plans to fix everything that is wrong in Washington and the US, so I cut him a bit of slack and give a month or so on the job to turn things around. I think that's fair.

Perhaps Howard Hughes McCain can do better? After all - he has the record and "he can do it".

I hope people are finally figuring it out that nobody has a miracle fix. It's going to take time, there are no easy answers regardless of the talk is cheap dialog we have been listening to for the last 2 years. The next admisnistrations excuse is already in place.

The dollar is going up, actually.

1 GBP = 1.702 USD

1 EUR = 1.350 USD

Well of course. I don't think anyone here has indicated otherwise...

It's up against the Nepalese rupee as well - 75+ when I last checked yeterday while when I was there in June I was getting around 68-69. I haven't seen the exchange rate this good since my first trip to Nepal in June '01.

I meant all across America, not just here. Although there are a few here who probably do think The One will perform miracles.

Dow will go down to 7500-7700 next week.
