Not surprised by that at all. I was working at McDonald's when they FIRST introduced salads across the chain. The United States went into an immediate lettuce shortage. I'm completely serious. |

Then 2008 happened (kind of. It really started when gas prices spiked in 07 and they were sensitive to the effect of gas prices on their destination stores, but 2008 really wrecked shit) and suddenly these big expensive buildings were well, expensive. I would anticipate similar things happened in the mall scene. Get a big retailer to come in, give them some tax breaks (Cabela's was working the property tax angle pretty hard), and you can get your direct products in front of a lot more people for relatively cheap. I can see how a company can think that a cost of sale would be cheaper in retail when malls got absurd traffic than printing and postage. Then this damn internet makes it cheaper for the direct sales again. Now, Cabela's was asking their people to drive and their website drove a lot of traffic, so that added a different element to the fall of retail, but I can see it. Innovation is hard, man. |

In a related story from 9-11, there was a SURGE is shorting and put buying shortly prior to the 9-11 tragedy, making many people to believe that at least one Middle East state or regime knew of the pending attack. |

All those saying you should have been heavily in cash when the market was sitting near 19,800 missed another recent great run up, near 1000 from that mark at today's close.
YOU CANNOT TIME THE MARKET. |

Did you ever update the office situation? I remember it stopped but didn't know where you moved to after that. Quote:

Sadly he had a change of heart and after 6 years plus a recent divorce he put the house up for sale and it sold for full ask on day 1. I have to move again on March 1st. Not happy. These are photos of the house including my BR and the basement with my living room furniture set up around a big screen TV. May be back in office for 60 days. |
