High-Yield Canadian Royalty Trusts: What's the Catch?
Liberals have proposed a massive carbon tax..... huge voter backlash. I suspect another 18 months or so until they hash it out and get ready for an election.

Plotting the April Case/Shiller Housing Numbers
The Week Ahead: An Inflation Manic Fed
All I know for sure is car sales are down.... food costs more..... fuel is way up. Until I gain some confidence in the data I'm just gonna sit here and contemplate the cost of home heating next winter.
GM and Ford: Still Easy Shorts
Will Thursday's Retail Sales Report Be Strong or Weak?
Underwater on the mortgage, maybe even the car loan as the gas guzzlers have lost value, using credit cards to buy gas and food..... the American consumer has his back to the wall.
Once there is some consumer relief, then we will see some meaningful gains.
US Dollar: 5 Reasons It Will Not Hit a New Low
With all due respect to Ms. Lien, I don't think she has lived through the 70's when the banker really could be described as hawkish...
Wait for another shoe to drop......
How Gas Prices Are Changing Consumer Behavior
I understand why 92% don't used public transportation... it is probably not available of convenient.
I don't understand why more don't move home closer to work. I guess they feel that high commute costs are just temporary.

A Low-Risk Cracker Barrel [CBRL Group] Options Play
Indifferent staff serving food cold from the kitchen cooked by staff who think that a chef is a guy who flips burgers without using a timer. (flip when it beeps)....
A lot of old timers who can't be bothered to cook seems to be the customer base.
I guess this means that as boomers age the clientel will grow and IHOP Denny's and the like will also prosper.
I think I will watch for a bottom...... perhaps when I see how the consumer is doing in the next 4 to 6 months.
Meanwhile... I"ll eat elsewhere......
Bets On A U.S. Recession Receding
If the consumer is "broke" the economy "ain't fixed"....... or have they all been lying and the consumer really isn't important???
GM Calls the Top for Oil
Right now everyone hopes this is all just temporary and gas prices will drop "just like last time"........ When people start to relocate and not just buy smaller gas guzzlers is when a meaningful drop in fuel prices will occur.
CNNMoney’s ‘Depression Comparisons Misguided’ Shows It’s Imminent
My Grandfather built and rented housed during the late 20's using one to finance another, and another, building a portfolio of properties.
The bank squeezed the lumber company who called in it's accounts. No one had credit and house prices were falling, no buyers were available. Loss of jobs meant rent was almost impossible to collect.
In the end the bank foreclosed on everyone..... My Grandfather ended up penniless trying to start over like everyone else. The bank survived.... but the lumber company was gone as were the carpenters, bricklayers and landlords.
