Post Christmas Sales; Sign of Economic Trouble [View All]

[tomreedtoon]

There are lots of commercials being prepared this Christmas weekend by TV stations. They are ads for the big retailers who are having massive - larger than normal - post-Christmas sales. That suggests that, no matter how many toasters Wal-Mart sold, that retailers in general didn't sell a lot this Christmas. They're trying to get rid of the inventory before December 31st.

As everyone has hinted at over the next few months, those who were lucky enough to afford a mortgage (I'm not, and never will, unless the Lotto comes through) are about to lose their homes. And jobs will be the next to disappear. The only safe investments are in canned beans, guns and ammo. Thank you, President Bush.
