Life as we know it didn't end in the late 1940's when most of the develop world lay in ruin and the US was the only economy left breathing. Which is why we had such a good time during the reconstruction. Pointing facts out to you is like beating one's head on a brick wall. Even when it doesn't have a direct effect on the subject at hand - AMZN. At least WrongWay doesn't pretend to know everything, anymore. The fact is the container ships are going back, more or less, empty and that is new and a big problem from even a simple logistics standpoint. Wait till the economic effects show up; don't try and obfuscate, ala UP, with air cargo or "professional services", if that is the next fallback position. And our South American brother and sisters are going to close up like clams. How do you like 40% of the US export market getting sick? I remember one time in Honduras a few years ago and I needed some brake fluid. The attendant brought out some Castrol, pointed to the label and USA manufacture, and said they were a first class shop and only used first class products. I wondered and looked around the shop. He was not exaggerating. Hang onto that "small" 500 share lot purchased yesterday if you really believe. Regards, IS
