Is this in our future?

Hey, all we have to do is wait a few weeks and revisit the petite debate. "Mainly on hopes" “It's like watching the market's blood pressure come down,” said David Kelly, chief market strategist at JPMorgan Funds in New York.

“Every day that goes by without something bad happening is reducing the risk of an economic rebound getting derailed.”
JPMorgan Funds in New York won't lie to you eh? I hope you don't loose to much. Those pricks will predict an economic rebound all the way down to the concrete.

OK DB, you can trash JP Morgan and be a skeptic. I can't deny you your own opinion and I gave you that as a back up to my original statement..

Sorry DB you may not be seeing it but we are.. Book to bill ratios in the positive for the last 4 months straight and into a 5th month is a sign of an end of economic bad times.. These guy are starting to re-invest in inventory and parts lead times and stretching from demand.. Plus my customers are are placing NEW Orders, something that had not been happening for the last 9 months.. You do the math..

I could see BC turning into another Lebanon in a few decades. If this economic downturn hadn't slowed down the logging industry, we would have been there within the next fifty years. As it is, we have slowed down the inevitable. That is why I hope this depression is permanent.

We need to build a new economy that is not built on rape and pillage of our resources. It ain't gonna happen if they resurrect the present model.

Looks like B.C. is doing the same thing we in the U.S. are doing, replanting trees that we cut down. That to me that is a responsible way to manage our softwood timber industry. I don't think that we should cut our hardwood trees at all, takes to much time for nature to replace them.

The biggest problem is that China is almost dry, they are building a 1000 mile conduit to bring scarce water from the mountains in order to keep Beijing going. Water in their farmlands has dried up or has gone bad. China is turning into one big dust bowl. Beijing is getting hit by these sand storms.

There goes a few ecosystems in China's mountains. The Americans did that with Las Vegas.

It's law in BC that if you take crown trees you have to replant.

Sure did, we sent Colorado river water to Los Angeles and other places where we should never have been farming and now the South West is running dry. Yup, the same thing.

Same law is in the U.S.

Natures way is fire and bugs. We are so smart that we do not let fire do the cleansing and renewal; so instead we have bugs that will do the job.
