I hadn't been in an LFS for a year or so and went on a tour a month back and was gagging at prices all across the board.

RBS, one of the financial institutions that has a phenomenal track record of monitoring the currencies, has stated they are betting on .59 USD cent Canadian Dollar.

Canada held rates steady and the USA decided to do the same...not sure many people saw that combination coming.

It's scary out there.

Our economy is SO resource based now, especially oil and it's derivatives.

Oil recovery will be years...or will take an OPEC miracle.

I'm like 60% cash now.
