Some economic green shoots.

Maybe the free market economy just might be able to circumvent the Master Plan.
Just today:
New Housing permits up 17%, year over year.
Lumber futures up limit, now up 46% in the last month.
Goldman Sachs ready, willing and wanting to pay back their TARP money tomorrow, at a nice profit to the US treasury.
Think positive and ride safe.

I'm in no way saying its all roses from here, and I appreciate Elliot, Kondratieff, and Fibonacci, et al.
Just trying to add some positivity.

Exactamundo Triiick!
How wonderful it has been to live in the era of both Jack and Tiger.

As a side bar, and maybe heretical, but if HOG retraces to under $13 I may put a few dollars on the nose.

Not heretical Scott, just common sense.

Or come to Aus, where we had a 0.04% growth last quarter!

So, there is hope, some more green shoots....

I wish you were right but I'm pretty sure the Master Plan has nothing to do with economy and more about evening the assets of the populace. Remeber, "we have to spread the wealth", not "we have to spread the wealth temporarily to help the economy."

The economy is only a smoke screen for Obama's socialist agenda.

Who cares about the Master Plan - British Airways has the right idea - get everyone to work for nothing, but lets start with the politicians. George Bush could be sent out to Iraq to clean the streets - community service we call it over here.
