Predictions forecasts:dollar continues to fall 20% (in relation to Euro/Pound)which in turn drives oil up to $125/a barrel by May 08. As oil rises grain prices (Corn, Soy, Wheat) may double shocking foodstuff sellers and buyers. Additional inflation (avg. price of goods one year ago versus now), up to 15% will weaken purchasing power and debt pay off. House construction slows causing homebuilders to lay off workers or close shop. Boomers born in 1946 can begin retiring this year. Mortgage crisis continues and credit crisis begins. Chinese mkts sag 1/3 from 07 as US economy teeters. A temporary improvement appears in Q3 as the federal reserve (a private group of bankers) rate cut in Nov 07 creates balloon cash to lure more debt.If US attacks Iran, oil may see $200/ barrel and this high price may justify deleting environmental drilling regs in US by congress.Movies and TV suck as impact for the writer's strike appears.What can you do:Reevaluate your spending habits. Do you really need that latte?Pay off all debts as soon as possible.Have 2 weeks cash at home. Shift to using cash in as many purchases as possible. Seek payment for existing monies owed. Make sure you have 3-6 months liquid savings for any "temporary" market crash.Review all equity (stock) holdings esp. high risk holdings.

If you 'buy' a house, and take out a loan to pay for it, you don't actually OWN the house, the bank does, and you keep paying them for it, and the interest is their profit. However, if you just buy the house without a loan, the bank isn't making any profit off of interest, and they don't own the house any more.Its the same deal with cars, and anything else you can 'buy' with a loan from the bank. As long as you're still paying it off, the bank owns it, and profits off of the interest.

What?! The banks don't want people to "own" property? Lets see. You need to get the intial mortgage from the bank; they make a bundle on the interest. Then once the mortgage is paid off, people often take out 2nd mortgages to do home improvements, etc.I don't think for one minute the banks are incentivized (or capable of) manipulating the economy to increase foreclosures. They want people to own; and to pay interest.

Not being an American their names mean nothing to me, but you are indeed correct, we have till the end of Sept and the end of the American driving season to get ready, as from October 2008 onwards IF the sign in America are correct, its all down hill from then on. Good luck.

Yes, and that was just what I thought of out of the blue. BTW the posts should be vice versa in arangement. Also American markets should have 2 for the price of 1 ect offers, best to use that service. As for your food suggestions yes, very true and correct, your body isn't concerned with the food just so long as it contains the nessery proteins and minerals it requires. Don't care for tuna though. Lots of web sites for nutrition info avaible. Always handy to know & knowledge weighs nothing.
