Thread, some good market news, our local UPS business driver in our spot in Silicon Valley said that his business was doing well this week, as in, same as before the attack. Ditto for two local restaurant owners. I take this as possibly a good sign, but who knows.
Though I think supply chain has been seriously impacted if what's happening to us is anything reflective of the industry. We can't get any shipments to overseas. I mean, one shipment has been in customs for almost 2 weeks now. Nothing short of visiting the consulate will probably move this shipment out of there. Normally, shipments overseas are immediate.
Anyway, it seems like business buyers are behaving the same as before, but who really knows yet. I think in 4 weeks, the industry will truly know, if not before. I would bet home consumers are fickle, though that's not our market focus, so I wouldn't have the read on that area.
