"Economics:  Alice has stepped through the looking Glass !!  Deja vu Baby!!!!!"


 

OK...........
 
The FINAL Economic Deja Vu has come to my attention.
 
And we are NOT in Kansas any more Toto !!!!
 
Let me LIST the ways.....
 
1) As of TODAY......it seems the housing recovery is back in full swing.  (I kid you not!)  In my subdivision, in central Florida, they are building out the balance of homes.  (after a few years of lack-luster building)  The model I just walked thru was $295,000 for the BASE model, and $445,000 all decorated and with pool.  And, in talking with the sales rep, the homes are going up $3000 per month!   Ah, Alice......
 
And, I just looked at my house on Zillow.com (and I do watch this monthly, just for kicks....) and darned if it isn't up $3000 in the last couple weeks AND $3000 the month before, too!   (Still under water though!!  LOL!!)
 
2) The STOCK MARKET is AT record highs.........and NOTHING has been fixed since the BIG FALL in 2008.  NOT in the USA and NOT in Europe.....and it seems, to me at least, there are problems in China that have yet to come to light.
 
3) Restaurants.  Have YOU been to a restaurant recently???  They seem PACKED.
4) Malls?  We were out of town in Miami last weekend, and we couldn't even find a PARKING PLACE at 4pm on a Saturday. !! ???
 
5) Interest Rates seem to be the "easier" call.....but rates are going up, and things are STILL NOT FALLING APART........not yet.....
 
What have I said for a number of years now?
THE DOMINOES ARE ALL LINED UP.......JUST WAIT FOR.....
 
THE RAPTURE....
 
TO KNOCK THEM ALL DOWN, ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
 
Could the Rapture be in the next 4 weeks, on/or before Rosh Hashanah 2013?????
Here's HOPING!!
 
TICK TOCK...
YFIC,
RAndy
 
ps.......if NO Rapture.....then here's my economic prediction
 
1) Interest rates ARE going up.....that seems a given
 
2) and if so......the stock market could fracture...
 
and then WHERE would MONEY RUN????
 
3) Just like in 2002-2006 -   Money would once again run to REAL ESTATE.......and apparently, it's already going that way !!
