JT; We have one more thing that the Bulls refused to look at on the way down
and the bears aren't looking at now. The price of crude..it's falling like a rock
and not only is the energy cost permeated into almost everything. ( and can
effect us more than interest rates ) Crude is the base product for many
chemicals, and other things like plastics ( packaging ), & asphalt ( roads )
A sharp reduction in Crude prices if it will hold will do more for this country
than the Government hand outs.
--------------------
Had I had my way when Crude hit 30 I would have declared an emergency
and cut the Highway speed limits like we did before.
I would also have put a TAX on Jet Fuel to slow the air traffic before all
this hit, in short I would have scared shit out of OPEC and showed them
we didn't need near as much as they thought.
----------------------------
We are not going to make a recovery with Crude over 25 , but if it will
stay low for a while "profits" in other areas will go up faster than
the analcist are predicting.
