Comments
I don’t like what I’m seeing. With declining economies in North & South America, Europe, and China, if we’re not careful this latest global downturn can snowball into something much more serious.

Here in the U.S. the economy is so strong that many goods are in short supply, including vehicles and single family homes. Things have gotten so tight that Wrigley Field will have to cut off beer sales during the 7th inning. To prevent Chicago Cubs fans from drinking the country dry.
Liar!!!
What a bummer!
Baojun group had a significant decline. Does anyone have any input on what that is about?
