Man oh man! So many great points here from all sides!!! Where do I start? Yorick, I agree with you on the economy. I heard the other day that the Government is looking at spending somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 billion dollatrs to help the economy. That's in addition to the 15 billion dollar billout of the airlines. It will take time to pull the economy up. I figure like you, about a year. I also think the economy was going down prior to the terrorist attack. That just speeded things up a bit, which means it'll just come back faster! People will settle down again in a few weeks and start buying again. Let's face it if you have a job (which if you go by the latest unemployment numbers is somewhere in the realm of 95%) now is diffinately the time to buy a house! Interest rates are incredibly low. Great time to buy a car too. Most of the American cars manufacturers are offering 0% financing.
The economy will turn around.
I also agree with Silver Cheeta. The third world nations are going to be hurt too, by this. Orders are down on most products. But that will change too. Christmas is just around the corner and we will start buying again. Wait and see.
Great post Mennoch!!!
