The Power Wagon market is a much better indicator of the economy than is the stock market. As Alan Greenspan warned, the market was experiencing "irrational exuberence." And why not? What, with all the corporate shennanigans with false profits and bogus bottom lines. In fact, now may be a good time to get out there and invest some money. Not on stocks but on the things you love. In this case Power Wagons. If you put your money in stocks, you might lose all of it, like 2 of my co-workers. If you put your money into the PW market, the worst thing that can happen is that you end up with a truck that you love. And...that ain't too bad. This goes for antique cars and tractors etc. More Americans should get involved with this hobby and forget about the stock market.
OK, I've had a few beers (Castle Lager, damn good beer) but I'm making sense. Right?
Have a nice night.
