For those of you that think the economy is teetering on the edge....A question; [View All]

What do you hear outside your door in the morning?

If you listen carefully, do you hear the hum and rush of cars? Most that live in or near suburbia will say yes. You have to be pretty far out in the country to not hear a low background hum of traffic.

If you are convinced that the economy of the United States is headed for a dramatic crash, is it your honest opinion that you might wake up in the very near future and not hear anything?

That hum and rush is the sound of your neighbors DRIVING CARS ON THEIR WAY TO WORK.

If you are convinced that we are headed off the cliff, do you honestly also think that noise will stop?

My opinion? It won't stop. Not by a long shot. If anything the noise will slowly get quieter not because volume is reduced, but propulsion systems will change. Day to day life will continue, and as NanceGreggs so eloquently put it, this difficulty WILL END.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed today at 13,042.74.

12 months ago today it closed at 12,103.30

The wise person plans prudently and rationally. If you arent in a soup line this week, chances are you won't be in one next week either. Or next month. Or next year.

And soon George Bush will be a dark spot on history.
