Just an interesting thought. Today I had a chance to visit Starbucks in the morning and Bucca di Beppo for dinner. Both places had commented on the fact that there was no one around. It looked like ghost town in Starbucks this morning and the restaurant was even spookier. Granted today is Monday, but I had never seen anything like it. My guess is we are going to really start seeing this consumer spending issue hit home. As the market continues its southward decent, the safe bet will be silver and gold. I urge all of you to research these type of commodities because there is plenty of upside potential here in the near future. My guess is silver has a greater upside potential on the percentage end of things IMHO.
