Right Pollie but not all catagories will be down. People will spend on the things they need for their daily lives. Electronics, clothing, toys, they will suffer this year...people will buy less of the expensive items, but they wont go hungry nor will they let it get dirty before company comes over..we are in a good spot for this holiday season. I only have myself to blame, never others, stand and take responsibility.

Christmas is but 6 weeks away.Im not sure what will happen,but I see that prices in stores like wall mart are not reflecting the bad economy.Prices are still maintaining a good portion of MSRP.This will make people hold off til the last minute waiting for the sales.In the mean time the unemployment rate & applications are spiralling.Things are going to get worse & the employment figures will come out again in early Dec.Oct figures were 284K jobs loss.The Nov figures may top 500K.The outlook in my opinion are grim at best.If you want something done right,do it yourself.If you cant do it yourself,either do without or get used to mediocracy.

Re:WNBD: It's Time to Come Home. - 2008/11/13 12:31 pmLast time I did my homework, I thought economic collapse is a healthy part of an economy...
Sure, it hurts now, but in about 8-10 months, we'll see this was for the better. That's how markets work in this system -- there is no real regualtory or clean up systems in place. Thus we engage the boom-bust cycle due to our lack of control on the operations of the economy. CDSs go unchecked, banks go willy nilly, and people are ok w/ that since they believe "regulation" is a bad word. So -- stick with unregualted markets and you'll see what we have today. Else, look for alternatives.
Also, if you're worried about unemployment, don't. That's the only factor keeping inflation in check. Always remember the Philips model in which high levels of employment mean greater spending power. In turn, that implies inflation as to allow the cash flow of such spending power. That's one of the keys to our captialistic structure; functional unemployment.http://www.freewebs.com/thefactoryfloor/

From the people I talk to at retail, still have connections at a few places, you can count on one of the biggest Black Friday ever.
People will see prices on things lower then they ever have. Retail will hold of on any major price ajustments until then. They will bank as much profit as they can until Friday morning, the day after Thanksgiving...I only have myself to blame, never others, stand and take responsibility.

Re:WNBD: It's Time to Come Home. - 2008/11/13 01:48 pmHF,under ordinary recessionary times I would agree,but these are extraordinary circumstances.The great depression lasted over ten years only relieved by the onset of WWII.In times of ordinary recession the entire banking system is not at risk.Nor is there usually the danger of overwhelming forclosure.Things are rough right now,but could turn very ugly in the matter of a heartbeat.The results could be cataclysmic to the economy.If you want something done right,do it yourself.If you cant do it yourself,either do without or get used to mediocracy.

Re:WNBD: It's Time to Come Home. - 2008/11/13 01:53 pmWell I hope that burst of brief energy in the WNBD thread was good for all of you. I smoked the first cigarette of my life after that escapade. Felt like sex to me, was quite quick (typical of TG), time for a cig and nap.

Cycles are a tough thing to get your head around. When's the next ice age coming, 2030? 2040?I may not always be right but I'm never wrong
