Furniture stores are a tell tale sign of the economy. They start going broke first because people are delaying big buys. I’m expecting a Recession because of the money presses slowing down so this could be the first sign it is on its way.

"Furniture stores are a tell tale sign of the economy. " I go by the number of broken down cars on the side of the roads. When things get tight there are more non working cars sitting on the side of highways. But, now I have to figure in the EV shunt into the equation. I think as time goes by there will be more and more EV's on the side of the road with non working batteries or just sitting there burning. I guess I need to start carrying a forked stick and bag of marshmallows.

not to worry, the hyped-up, AI manic, speculative stock market continues to melt upwards...convinced of no recession and 5+ rate cuts before end of year...
