Hey Shack,

It was kind of fun doing that research (just so I know what the heck u r talking about <g>).

You guys are forcing me to keep on top of things, appreciate the quality & quantity of the give - go here :)

Personally I think that the economy is screwed. And that we are about to enter the abyss. The only light that I see in the tunnel... is an oncoming train...LOL

IMHO, real estate & consumer driven purchases as you said lower rates will continue to stimulate the consumer until there are absolutely no more avenues to increase their debt. I believe that they are lagging indicators IMHO.

I also agree 100% with your view.

I think however, that the downturn in the economy is so vicious & escalating so quickly that whatever statistics are compiled by commentators/economist (never had much use for them), & more importantly government agencies are hopelessly out of date by the following week (never mind monthly or quarterly reporting periods). Carly Fiorina Hewlett-Packard CEO once said of the economy back in December ..."they had been surprised by how quickly technology spending and other economic factors turned against them. "Frankly, it was like somebody turned the lights out," (I luv that quote) I think that quote captures the essence of what has happened & what will continue to transpire in the economy. indiatimes.com

Interesting article in The Star today... Hey, I wonder if that is the same Waldo from the BII.to (Bid.com) days??? hehehe

So we gotta be getting close to that elusive (tech) (intermediate?)bottom when the mainstream media starts displaying headlines like this one.

J6P must be getting awfully concerned...

BTW Shack, thanks very much for your links... They're great!

Regards,
Peter
