MM:

My spies down there report:
- real estate softening in the last two months, especially in high end condos, etc.
- high end boat sales well off year-over-year.
- mall revenues will not match last year's numbers.
- high end autos now easy to find (a year ago there were waiting lists for the hotter items).
- bar tips down year-over-year this past few months (admittedly a very questionable "leading indicator"). (g)

"Wealth Centers" are usually the last to feel the effects of a downturn, so I pay attention to even the subtle items from those parts of the world. (g)

Best, Earlie
