2. man, everything is in near free-fall....
By every measure, this economy looks like a runaway train heading over a cliff.

Not a good way to start the morning. LOL

3. Check the Baltic Dry Index
It has been ahead of all other indicators. Looks like it may have bottomed out and is starting to rise.

4. Yes, I wonder why the BDI is moving up...
...very slightly?

I wonder what is being shipped more, now?

I don't see a single positive economic indicator on the horizon, so this slight
uptick is curious. It could just be a blip.

I'd be interested to hear other's thoughts...
