In regards to inflation. One of the things I have
noticed over the last couple of years..........it seems to be accelerating,
especially food shopping, is that the price will stay the same but you get
less in the package. My cat food used to be 20 lbs. it's now 18, and I noticed
one is down to 16 lbs. The facial tissues I buy used to be a 175
count..........it's now down to 145........same box though. Two ounces are now
missing from my favorite spaghetti sauce. Many canned goods used to be 16
ounces.....no more. I guess they figure most people just look at the
price. I wonder if the government takes this kind of price increase into
account when they figure cpi? Not that I believe those figures
anyway.

In looking for something to do I started to scan
my stock list. All I can say is that things look real ugly right
now. In many instances price didn't rally much in the face of good
news, short covering and bargain hunting. With expiration tomorrow it
appears that a lot of puts might get exercised. If that does in fact
occur there will be more downside pressure on the markets. Monday's
price action should be interesting.
The inflation report today didn't help things
any. Another move in gas prices to over $2 per gallon in my area
reinforces what I have been saying for months. The government may not
realize that there is inflation by their numbers, but by mine, the cost of
living has been increasing across the board for a couple of years.
Have a good week end. IraTo
