Volatility Alert (VIX)

Vehicle sales slowed to a crawl and now 0% is back by all the big three

Canada can’t cut rates without killing our dollar. Canada is in a tough spot because US isn’t killing their golden geese and their dollar is stronger. Our idyot has got us in a fine pickle. Interest rates aren’t the monetary instrument anymore when a country is strangled by taxes. Remember the term, “crowding out”.

Time to go pickup shopping, will have to check next week to see if there’s any deals yet. Still thinking it’s too early.

Lots of atv-sidebys at the local toy store. Walked past 3 lonely sales reps to the parts dept. to pick up filters for my fencing rig. The DOLLIED up rig at the front door was listed at $57000 Don't think cattle prices will last long enough for me to trade up.

At almost a $100k a pop, there are no deals. My days of buying a new truck are behind me.

Dealers are not hungry enough yet.

Strap-in . . . . Silver prices started evening down 2%, now limit up 7% over $30 per oz in China.

Oil prices slammed early. This may be one volatile week. Financial markets under heavy stress. Japan rescue mission underway? Stock markets at high risk (IMO). Concentration insane.

Bank of Canada rate cuts incoming as Canada recession deepens . . . Many central banks globally cutting rates.

Vehicle deflation, you ain’t seen nothin yet. China car prices plunging . . . . say it ain’t inflation.
