True damage won't show for a full year
chillyphantomThis is going to make the sub-prime mortgage issue and its spin-offs look like baby spuds folks. And the bottom of the ice berg isn't going to become visible until around about October of next year (Oct. 2009).
Currently, the total US debt load on credit cards alone is more than there is money available in the US to pay. Soooo, where is the money going to come from? Oh, I know. We'll just print some more. Well, guess what? That won't work any more. Nobody wants US dollars.

Buy early. Buy often. Things are going to be real tight for the following Christmas season.
Sooo, let's just admit that it's over folks! Run the flag down the mast one more time for good ... next year - before the 2009 Christmas stuff comes out eh!
