Economic Connundrum

Posted on Oct 1, 2007 in Life, Real Estate | 0 comments

I heard this morning that the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a new record: 14,111. Is it just me, or are you confused, too. I thought we were likely to head into a recession? Didn’t Alan Greenspan say so about two weeks ago? Okay, to be fair, he said we had greater than a “one in three,” but “less than 50%” chance, but still. And what is going on with diary prices? I buy organic milk so I’m used to paying an exorbitant amount for a quart but it’s still  not good news. Oh, and since I work for a homebuilder I know first-hand about the falloff in new housing starts. Throw it all in a pot, stir in some unease about global warming, add a pinch of worry about terrorist plots, and you’ve got yourself a nice hot cup of economic uncertainty.

Hmmm. Guess I’ve been thinking about the economy when I’ve not been thinking about Cammoflauge Back Massage.
