Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Early news reports in the USA are saying the London financial markets nosed dived today in the worse downturn ever.  This comes on the heels of a 4 percent drop in the Dow Jones Industrials last week alone.  Since today is a Federal Holiday in the US in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King the financial markets are closed.  Not sure what impact the London market fall will have on the US markets--have to wait to see.

What and how long will it take jaydee to realize that he needs to enter the low to middle price range vacuum market to stay competitive in the USA in the big box stores' venue?

Any news yet on the 2007 dyson sales?

If the stock market is not the best and only indicator of a US recession, the USA gurus use another.  The job rate declines and unemployment rates.

For the past 50 years whenever the unemployment rates increased for 6 straight months, the USA experienced a sustained period of economic recession.  The latest 5.5 unemployment rate is the 6th monthly consecutive increase for the USA. 

The gurus say it underestimates the real figure.  If you factor in the persons who have had their hours cut back and/or forced to work part time from full time, the rate increases to10.5 percent.  The highest unemployment rate since the great depression.

In the past we've discussed the issues and reactions over inflated property tax assessments.  I posted that it may cause a taxpayer rebellion next year.  Even kiddingly saying it's time to get your your friends Smith and Wesson.  Well, here's an article of interest to read if you are so inclined about the current status.

Read an take heed.

BTW, two US stock market stalwarts: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in dire financial straights and may require a taxpayer bail out.  Their stock prices declined in the last year from $64 and $59 a share to $10 and $8 recently.
