I would caution you not to extrapolate your personal experience to the entire country.

It's the one thing that allowed me to keep my homebuilder shorts on from not to far from the highs to not to far from the lows.

It's gonna happen. I don't know when.

The one thing that may not happen is the stock market may not cooperate. <g>

Americans use shopping as a drug. Sure, we need stuff. But when we feel bad, or unsettled, recreational shopping is the way to numb those feelings of insecurity. We are shopper sheeple, and proud of it!

So if there *is* no tomorrow, then what better way to forget about the future than to shop today?

No different than an alcoholic drinking to forget about the job & wife s/he lost because of drinking.
