Bob, I can play that game also. Drive by any high school and you will not see any vacant parking spaces. Would five dollar gas put any of those kids on bikes?

Bob Swift,
I was going 75 on HWY 101 on our weekend beach trip. Lots of SUV passed us.

Well Bob, then I guess you were not so swift or perhaps the SUVs = Swifter than U Vehicles, ggg.

Sorry Bob, I just couldn't pass up poking a little fun at you with your handle, nothin' personal. Just stay out of the left lane will ya, ggg.

FWIW, RE $5 gas, with local prices ranging ~ 2.25 for regular and 2.49 premium, I have noticed a slight decrease in traffic in my area. Won't know for certain till I see how the summer traffic is when the tourists come, that will be an excellent indicator for the economy, but summer is probably too late for helping with any market prognostications. The market will show its hand (thumbs up or down) for the year by May 15-31.

AFA my own opinion, the market hand signal is going to be thumbs down.

Best,
Roebear
