Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Oct 30
I don't know anything about economic indicators, but I know what makes me nervous.

Oil prices shot up to a record high yesterday. The jump in prices was blamed on tension in the Middle East, Mexico cutting production due to bad weather and the ever-weakening U.S. Dollar. It's really the last one that sticks out, doesn't it? I know the dollar is weak, but I've just been counting on a rebound. Where's the bottom?

When do all those Adjustable Rate Mortgages change their rates? How many people will be in foreclosure before Christmas? I''m thinking about starting to stuff cash in a mattress over here!

Stuff cash into your mattress? Or convert it to gold or Pounds or Loonies?

Time to start getting paid in foreign currency, PD.
