The fools on Wall Street think beating expectations of a bad economy, which is still bad, is a good sign.

I was in there the other day and this woman pointed out a package of free-range 98% lean ground beef. One lb. for $6.99 which beats the hell out of Safeway's price of $14.99/lb.!

I hate hate hate Safeway! They gouge the hell out of you. I had to use them when I had no car.

I finally got a car again, an old Camry but it still runs with 255K on it!

This is inflation no doubt!

As for the Argentine beef, I don't know to think!

& recommend.

When the markets come to the realization that the core is rotten, at least it will tumble from a higher level. I need to retire in 7 years, so I need that market to rise!
