Cheap time to buy airline stocks. It's not so much the price of oil that's increasing as it's the value of the dollar decreasing. Since Oil is traded in US dollars and the dollar is some 40-45% down from the norm then the price of oil has risen accordingly. Our goal shouldn't be to lower the price of oil as it should be to raise the value of our economy thus lowering the price of oil. We need to send Afghanistan a letter signed "with love" and get gone. I can understand leaving troups in Iraq for now but the price tag of our military single handily crippled us. Couple that with less new money coming in from all the crisis and things aren't looking too good. Can't sit here and worry about it though it won't solve anything. Want to make a difference? Keep going to work and keep that cash flowing. We don't need stagnation. It's almost as if terrorism did win. Because of the attacks we've seen security and the cost of security go through the roof, every politician uses it as a standpoint to argue for what they want money for. Milk and education vs. using that money to fight terrorism and it's always terrorism that wins that bill. Sooner or later enough is enough. There's reasonable concerns and then there's unreasonable. No reason a tiny town in the middle of nowhere should be getting a million dollars worth of Hazmat suits :/
I'm looking for a fed cut in the middle of March here. Should be the last one for a good while. Couple that with the rebate checks and things should start looking up.
