=====================

Wall Street is not Main Street, and

Main street also is doing better, and Wall Street does well in
anticipation of Main Street doing well later on.

Up until the mid 70s you were/are more correct than
incorrect. The syllogism "When American companies do well,
America does well, and when America does well, Americans do
well" was on the whole accurate.

That's not a syllogism, and it's not what I said. I said that Wall
Street does well when it expects Main Street to do well. That's true.
The stock market is a leading indicator, you senile idiot.

When the numbers are all laid on paper in January...we are going to
see little if any increase in holiday spending...and I suspect...some
decline.

Frankly..few have any money TO spend. The wife and I have been
putting pocket change and turning in pop cans for 6 months to build a
kitty for presents for the grandchildren. And we have spent a total
of $100 or so on 3 grandchildren and their parents.

What did I get her? Nothing.
What did she get me? Nothing.

Did we get the roommates anything? Not a ****ing thing.

There simply isnt any money for it.

The yard sales and swap meets provided much of what we did spend
money on over the past 6 months for the kids. We chose to eat and
pay the power and water over spending much on anyone.

And chatting with our friends..they are in the exact same situation.

Fortunately..we are smart shoppers..so the kids and grand kids will
have a decent pile under their tree. But for us? Nada.
I told the wife in June what was going to happen and she agreed.

So Ive brought home a cheap geegaw now and then over the past year
and told her it was going to her as an early Christmas present..as we
wouldnt have one for outselves. She knew going in..what was going
on. The same as its been since 2008.
