I'm sure the new hotel in Nagoya is nice, but I'm also sure Camp Narita is cheaper........and it would be even cheaper to keep ya moving.

I'll take your 63:20 in Nagoya, and raise you the DH to Grenada for a 167.33 hour overnight. The hotel? "Will Advise" It is in the NYC 7ER bid package. I kid you not!

Higher taxes, increased healthcare costs, uncertainty about a dozen other issues that have huge implications on small/big business hiring and it kind of puts a damper on a recovery.:eek:

Like I said.......Yawn.

Well, you're watching the DOW apparently so I'd be surprised if a 8,500 closing won't get much reaction out of you.

...so the flavor of the week is down, based on the way the large players are set up to profit. Next week it'll be up. The only loser is the small investor that actually makes decisions based on these short-term engineered moves.

I'm with Johnso on this one: yawn. You guys need to do the opposite of the aforementioned (and so well photographed) cheerleader, and keep your panties on.

I apologise for being so cryptic. The recent action by the Fed has only cemented in the minds of many economists the oncoming and relatively rapid (read speed of the internet) downturn coming to the market followed shortly by a deflationary pressure on the dollar - foreign governments dumping bonds which will result in the US' inability to honor its debts without printing money to extricate itself, ultimately resulting in the non-value of the dollar (aka hyperinflation).

I truly wish I did not think this was the scenario most likely to occur in the near future. Not trying to be debbie downer or recommend anyone take any action based on my thoughts. I hope nothing bad happens.

Is it time to replenish my supply of MRE's, water, and ammo for my basement? My Y2K supply is expired.
