Both those you mentioned looked like good trade plays if you catch onto their ebb and flow... The recent abrupt jump in gas prices should have some potential employors with hiring plans looking twice at some of those ideas... And the housing basing could hit some rougher water... Shoppers don't just stop shopping...Sometimes they have to re-adjust on what they can spend their money on... Its beyond me what the small inflation figures touted for the last decade or so are based on...LJ
