if you notice, there a blip dip thing on the dow jones.
why?
Obama? or because it's coming to the CNY time whereby bonuses are getting prepped? or because of the 3rd/4th wave of layoffs that's impending which would require a certain amount of cash payout?
or it's just business as usual?
i just know that a can of luncheon meat jumped from $1.60 to $2.10 as mentioned by the inhouse auntie that does the cooking for the staff. 30% increase. in terms of dollar n cents it's not much to many of us. but it's a big increase ratio to watch out for.
likewise, sugar - 50% bump.
Mandarin oranges - 10-15% up.
Green Vegetables - 10% up.
all not healthy signs. perhaps it wouldn't affect most of us here. but it will affect alot others, and it will show.
