it is finally hot enough to believe that summer is here, but there are some skeptics out there.....
At the bank today, there was a line of people. Almost like old times, but the fact is that they
only had a couple of tellers working.........you tell me.
I spoke to our main supplier yesterday, and his firms' sales are trending up, but not enough,
compared with the huge slowdown, last year.
So I have been going with this theme, in my blog posts, that if business is back from the recession, surf's up and if not, as in business is in the doldrums, ....there is no summer.
Summer has been our Christmas season and we need it to get through the slower months when
moving is actually out of season. The moving industry is one of our leading indicators and from
what I have seen, business is better and more robust outside of California. This is true for most
small businesses, and while government seems to recognize it, the state legislature is still owned
and controlled by some small but powerful interest groups who obviously live in a better place than most of us small business people.
I hope that what the commentators say is true, like on CNBC and Bloomberg, the news, etc, but
it seems to me that the stock market swings wildly and the "intelligent commentators" only
seem to bring forth themes and explanations that go towards how the market did that day.
For example, when the market is down, the Greece financial market issues are worrying investors, until the next day, when the same commentators say the market is down since people
are worried that the Greek Financial Crisis will spread to the Spanish nations, etc.
Go figure, they are glorified weather men, just pretending to understand what is going on. Ask me, if they did, they would be wealthy enough to be on vacation somewhere, instead of telling
us how to buy their products.....
Show us, prove it to us, that the market is better and then lets move forward. I do not know anyone having a lot of fun these days, but maybe I am hanging out with the wrong people.....
stay tuned.
