What recession?

Props to Rusty. I did steal it. Used it several times inthe last week as well. It’s good! Imitaion as flattery.
One note on anecdotal evidence: There’s so much BS manipulation of “data” in the world today that actually going out and looking for oneself can be far more revealing that trusting data from sources you cant or should not trust. As a matter of fact, checking the real world is how I test the “data” that comes at me. If they dont match-up, it causes me to investigate something on my own. And this is happening far more inthe last few years than ever before.
In this case, I’m seeing what the media is saying…wont be a good retail Christmas. But I predicted this months ago. Ray Charles coulda seen it coming.(Not sure who to credit for that one.) And as for credit cards, the industry is already predicting trouble. They’re going to lower their exposure by at least $1T in the next year by lowering limits. Defaults are starting to climb fast.

Business owners/professionals and executives with 200K + HH income. Living very well but also well within if not below their means if the neighborhoods many piggs covet and hope to find wholesale market meltdowns in.

I have been doing the shopping thing this weekend.

I was in Borders yesterday. 35 minute line to pay. Literally 100 people in line.

Lots of shoppers doesn’t necessarily mean high sales and profit. With lower prices and smaller loads, sales may still suffer.

Long lines can also mean lots of shoppers, or not enough staff so be careful drawing conclusions.

Parking at UTC on Sat. was remarkable. Truly full. I went on top of the garage near the food court and found a couple spots.

I bought lobster at Costco today $20/lb for tails. Seemed cheap.

This recession is odd. The numbers are terrible, but life seems the same. Maybe it is a great shakeout. While some are in good shape, many are not. There seems to be disparity everywhere. Best Buy doing well. Circuit City going bankrupt. Some real estate markets tanking. Others holding strong.

I went to the Del Mar Gun Show this weekend. I go about once/twice a year. I haven’t seen so many attendents. The parking lot was just about full at 10 AM, and the shoppers were already coming out with crates of amo (thousands of rounds not playing around). Once inside, between the hoards of people, there were lines of buyers for the assault type guns (AR15s and SKSs).

I knew that gun sales were up, but I tell you, it was a sight to see…..I could barely walk through the crowds.

They were plenty of buyers not just lookers. The gun makers must love this uncertain econ-politico times.

This might be the one sector that’s booming (even after Obama’s election).
