Mes
amis,
Please permit me to take a contrary view
to those expressed by hostmaster and Adrian Pitt.
Ira's message was received by me at 2:48
p.m. on Saturday, July 19, 2008.
I am not aware of any stock or commodities
markets, other than the farmers' and flea markets, that are open on Saturday
afternoon at least in North America. I rely upon you to correct me if I am
wrong.
On the
assumption that I am not wrong, at least in a broad sense, I
therefore note, as an opening
observation, Ira's message could not have impinged upon the crowded cerebral
space of active traders during the trading day, except perhaps as to the
purchase of carrots and celery and used CDs.
His
post was harmless. It is in the same vein as some
posts I receive from persons who are north of 70 or 80.
Ira did not attempt to sell
anything. Insofar as I can discern, all he attempted to do
was to share a feeling of ennui and angst at the predicament we find ourselves
in as a result of the actions and/or
misactions of our governments over the last half-century.
Whether one agrees with his viewpoint or
not, he is entitled to speak his peace.
Trading in carrots and celery and used CDs
will probably not be affected.

I Started college in the spring of
1950. I got $110 a month from the GI bill and had no problem making
ends meet with rent, food (hashed at a sorority), gas, a car and going out
on dates. If you don't believe what inflation can do compare
some of these prices from a real menu of the 1950s. The Korean and
Vietnam wars started the escalation and now Iraq and Afghanistan will start
the next set of inflation numbers. The government hasn't helped
with its policies as to the financial markets, interest rates and the
outrageous printing of money. It will be interesting to see what
happens next. It ain't going to be pretty.
Ira
If any of you have doubt about
what we paid for a coke and a sandwich at Woolworths in the 1950's,
here's proof of the era we lived........and it was a GREAT ERA to live
...
And
Gas..25 cents/Gallon!!!
And of course, We had no
money!!!
