Earlie;

< the coming demise of the US consumer appears to be an event that all the rabbits in the world will not hold back.>

So other than housing which has already taken a hit, where do you buy puts? Maybe restaurants? Maybe HDI? I know OSI has complained about making money lately. If people can't afford to drive, one of the first hits might be more expensive places to eat?
