good thing our average wage increase is 3%.Consumer prices rose by 4.1 percent for all of 2007,
That would be great. Everyone can stay home in their cold unheated Mcmansions and starve to death.Did you like the part about "core" (ex energy and food) being contained, freeing the fed's hands for further rate cuts...
if you drink IPA, hops are definitely pricier due to some failed crops.
You could always invest your money.The best part is with low interest rates and high inflation, responsible people like myself who actually save money get screwed.
I wish. All of my investments are in the toilet right now. It makes me sick to my stomach to even look at them.You could always invest your money.
I'm sure now is a pretty good time for all kinds of buy opportunities.
Sorry, there is ZERO redemption for purchasing Coors Light. You cannot be saved....so I don't totally fail at beer.
I was afraid of that. Oh well, at least I'll be rich.Sorry, there is ZERO redemption for purchasing Coors Light. You cannot be saved.
well, at least that gives Bernanke something to shoot for.
So buy more... I still think it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it's always better to buy in a down/declining market. Hell, even online savings accounts give 4%+. Just about enough to keep up with inflation, but not stellar. Hell, buy solid companies that offer a good dividend:I wish. All of my investments are in the toilet right now.

Large majority of it is invested but none has been doing very well for the past few years. I keep trying to make an apointment with my financial advisor but he won't call me back. I need to change banks and get a new advisor but it is such a headache moving everything Ihaven't had the time to do it lately.You could always invest your money.

If your financial adviser won't return your calls, it's time to dump that guy. If you read a few basic financial management books, you can manage your money yourself. It's really not that hard. My favorite personal finance book is "Common Sense on Mutual Funds" by John Bogle. John Bogle is a former CEO of Vanguard and championed index funds.Large majority of it is invested but none has been doing very well for the past few years.

I'm fully aware of that. But it's still a hard pill to gag down.So buy more... I still think it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it's always better to buy in a down/declining market.
markets were weird today. trying to figure out if its bottom-feeders or if someone's got some inside info on what the fed's going to do at the end of the month. 75bp would certainly be a shot in the arm for the market, but how long that would work before the market got over their cheap-interest rates rush and went back to dropping like a rock?ok, something's happening, but not sure what: HPQ - with a turning radius of an aircraft carrier - has gone up 5% in 3 hrs., despite intel's bloodletting. volume is a third higher than normal.
that actually is very awesome. almost as awesome as toshi's $20/gal.So by the Summer drive time, we should be in the $5 range at this rate. That's awesome.
Someday the lightrail will go between Denver and CS. If you're working in LoDo, drop your car at the Lincoln/C-470 & I-25 interchange, wherever the lightrail currently begins.that actually is very awesome. almost as awesome as toshi's $20/gal.
i'm waiting to find out if i'm supposed to start working in denver next month through the summer, which is a 110 mi roundtrip commute. currently, we get $0.475/mi, but if gas sustains ~$5/gal, they'll bump it to $0.60-$.80. in other words, i'll make at least $50/hr for 2 hrs every day. only pitfall is my jetta is a VR6, not a TDI. yeah, i know these numbers are squishy.
i've actually considered that (i'd be in littleton working on administering a missile system). in fact, i was looking at a redline SS commuter this wknd. i don't know where to go from just north of castle rock/happy canyon. 85 is finished through to santa fe blvd, ya?Someday the lightrail will go between Denver and CS. If you're working in LoDo, drop your car at the Lincoln/C-470 & I-25 interchange, wherever the lightrail currently begins.
In fact, you could ride your bike up Hwy 105 to the path along C-470 to the lightrail once or twice a week, assuming you can get away with doing that.
Good thing I spend all of my money every month!Awesome, in economic terms if you have a savings account you are losing money.
Markets jump 150pts on the news... huh?Inflation jumps 1% last month

working w/ stinkyboy's ex-neighbor?i've actually considered that (i'd be in littleton working on administering a missile system).
part of stagflation is rising unemployment (a dysphemism for a surplus on workers). so unemployment is rising from 4.8% to 5.2%, which alarmists would say "that's a jump of 10% in the unemployment rate!"
Teacher- And what does your daddy do little Stinkle?i've actually considered that (i'd be in littleton working on administering a missile system).
hey, i take exception to that!Teacher- And what does your daddy do little Stinkle?
L'il Stink- He finds better and more efficient ways to kill the brown people from thousands of miles away
Teacher-Oh, he works for a pharmaceutical company.
Want me to change it to Union Carbide?
you'd make a good ex-wifeWant me to change it to Union Carbide?
