Date: Wed Dec 07 2005 16:28 trotsky (a scary development) ID#248269: Copyright © 2002 trotsky/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved WASHINGTON ( AFX ) -- Consumer credit posted a large, unexpected drop in October, falling by $7.2 billion, according to the Federal Reserve. It was the largest drop since the Fed began keeping records. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch were expecting consumer credit to rise in October, by $3.7 billion. Revolving credit fell by $1.6 billion, or 2.4%, while nonrevolving credit declined 5%, to $5.6 billion" the consumer finally tapped out? i don't think that's good for sustaining the credit bubble, which in turn sustains the debt-berg itself ( roughly in the manner of a Ponzi scheme ) . it also probably signals beginning stresses in the housing bubble, which has stopped bubbling in mid year. now inventories are piling up sky-high in some of the bubble regions. methinks we will get to know Uncle Ben's helicopter side sooner than originally expected.
