I used to get Strategic Investor and stopped subscribing to it. I think they might have done some creative bookkeeping on some of their buy recommendations. Also they predicted extreme growth of violence in the big cities. Guess what folks..NYC has had a drop in crime. Part of this is definitely attributable to Bratton's(sp) policies. I am certain another part might be related to all the big chains moving into the city. I see so very minority kids working behind cash registers and feeling the stock and yes even being assistant managers and managers. A lot of these young adults can afford to work behind the counters because the wages are poor and they live at home. AT least that is some good news and has provided an opportunity to some. "while Rome burns"..maybe a lot of us assume that the quality of the middle class's life should be going up..I am afraid we are witnessing the transformation in our society to "two classes". I am assuming now that when enough of the middle is outwardly hurting and when there is another collapse in real estate prices, the government will step in another and start offering programs..and we will start heading towards a more socialistic society. There was an editorial in the New York Times about Mexico written by a former Mexican official who says the current wave of violence in Mexico is portending the future in Mexico.
