Participanthad Soros been around then to short the dollar
How exactly would he have done it? I can only think of him borrowing in USD and converting it to some other currency or Gold hoping USD will fall. In those times when credit was tight, who would have loaned him a lot of money? Based on what collateral? there were no derivatives, CDS, leverages to play around with. I don’t think he could have done much, good or bad.

ParticipantThey are hurting, they are not profitable – But they are long way from fear of bankruptcy. They are sitting on $269M cash.
I think they will muddle through with a fluctuating small profit/loss pattern till the end of recession. They will cut costs by downsizing, layoffs, store closing etc.,
If you are talking of bankruptcy, a lot of middle and upscale eateries will go first. Applebee’s, IHOPs & Chili’s have more to worry.
McDonald’s is of course, the winner. Anything that bills double digits is an endangered species.

ParticipantHave you looked at Florida? FL seems to be on a steep decline too (RE price wise) and might be a more fun place to retire than Temecula. But, if you want financial freedom and fun, why not buy a high end RV and enjoy a mobile lifestyle? Home ownership is more of a family lifestyle and not much fun at all as a hobby for retirement.
