AS THE END OF THE YEAR APPROACHES PEOPLE START TO THINK ABOUT THE HOLIDAY SEASON...TO BE SURE...
BUT THEY ALSO LOOK TO NEXT YEAR...AND ASK: "WHERE IS THIS ALL GOING...?"
AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE ANSWERED :
"TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET!"
CLEARLY...THIS YEAR...2009...WAS THE YEAR OF THE FED'S "MIRACLE MONEY MACHINE"...
THE STOCK MARKET BUBBLE WAS RE-ANIMATED...LIKE FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER...THANKS TO GOLDMAN SACHS AND OTHER MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE--VIA THE FED...
OF COURSE...WHENEVER YOU "RE-ANIMATE" A MONSTER... THE NEXT QUESTION IS :
"WHAT TO DO WITH IT...?"
DO YOU FEED IT...KILL IT...HOPE SOMEONE TAKES IT OFF YOUR HANDS...? HOPE IT RUNS AWAY...? WHAT...?
AND THAT WILL BE THE STORY OF 2010...
AS PEOPLE CONSIDER ALL THAT HAS HAPPEN THIS YEAR...AND THE INCREDIBLE YEAR OF DOOM AND GLOOM THAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH...
I JUST DON'T SEE THE CONSUMER OUT THERE SPENDING ON BLACK FRIDAY...
I THINK THAT SALES COULD BE OFF 5% TO 10% OVERALL...
REMEMBER SOME PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO "SLAP THE PLASTIC" TOMORROW...EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO...! AND THAT IS NEW...! VERY NEW... LAST YEAR THIS DEBT COLLAPSE CRISIS WAS STILL THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK...AND WE WERE ALL CONFUSED.
THIS RECOVERY IS LIKE THE EMPEROR WITHOUT HIS CLOTHES...
PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO SEE THE TRUTH... AND WHAT THEY'VE SEEN--THEY DON'T LIKE...
SO LET'S HAVE AN OLD FASHION CHRISTMAS...
ONE WITHOUT MONEY AND CREDIT CARD DEBT...
STRING POPCORN...NOT CREDITORS...!
