I think we are still on a downward trend: unemployment, advertising spending down, discretionary spending down, company projects slowed or on hold, fewer cars on freeway, Costco sales strong in food and not big screens, etc.

So I am looking for the opposite of the down tipping point, but for signs of a recovery. Not to hijack your thread, however it may help in identifying your exit point.

Our nation needs to make things to grow. A return to a solid manufacturing base. With this will result in higher exports, stronger dollar, etc. Cheaper energy is a huge factor here as well.

So when I see these things happening and a backbone in our foreign policy ( read energy independence and exit from being the worlds police to ungrateful countries ) will produce a positive change in our economy and attitude.

Question: What are you going to do with your money once you exit?

Departing from the other thread of cashing out, I am inclined to play in the TIPPS or inflation adjusted treasury bonds guaranteed by the Treasury.

I haven’t lost all hope in America 😉

Thoughts?

Is that a Schlitz beer can in the background (link) and a Crossman760 BB gun? Yup that’s hair but not Sarah’s. Just a little Wisconsin humor pic.

< I wonder if its easy to find at nurseries.>

Try Miramar Wholesale Nursery or Village Nurseries. They can order stuff they don’t stock and will sell over the counter.

I know you have made your decision but let me add a quick comment about Wawanesa.

Were were initially told we lived too close to an open area. I asked for an on-site inspection and was approved.

I had a car stolen as well and it was a battle with StateFarm to prove value. The adjuster finally caved after I sent them a recent photo with our (then) puppy sitting in front of the car. That photo ‘proved’ the value I was asking for. After that, we talked longer about dogs than cars.
