Anyway these were $$$ SUVs about 10:30 a.m. on a weekday out among the hoi polloi in the usual assortment of Mercedes Benzes, BMWs, Audis and such so they got my attention. Back in 2007-2009 during the Great Recession I was living in Newport Beach and owned a Cayenne S. I remember taking it into the dealer on PCH which also sold Audis and Bentleys. Their lot must have had 20-30 Bentley Continental GTC convertibles in it. I had never seen the like of it as their lot inventory was usually just a few. So, I asked the service guy what was going on. His response: "Oh, those are the mortgage brokers' cars." Apparently that type of car was the "in vehicle" leased by mortgage brokers who were making money hand over fist at that time. Then in a flash, the boom time was over and they had to turn them in. This recession feels different, so far anyway, and it is quite early. Katie bar the door. Anything can happen IMHO.

Fed will cool down the economy by raising interest rates and watch how much housing prices will come down. Recession will be mild or severe but way to early to predict |

Here in Rhode island we are paying 4.34 per gallon give or take. BJs wholesale where we get gas is at $4.21 today. I checked Gas Buddy and seems in Ocala and TV it is in the $3.50 range.

Crude oil gets refined into other petroleum products. From a loss of $865M in 2021 to a profits of $5.3B is not the result of stock markets controlling the price of crude oil. It's the result of Exxon charging more for post-refinery petroleum. Gasoline at the pumps isn't the only product that comes from crude oil. Synthetic plastics are the result of the refining process as well, and plastics made from the refining process of crude oil are found in every household, every automobile, every computer, every cell phone, every company in the country. Even the handle of your desktop stapler is probably made from synthetic plastic. This is part of the reason inflation is so high, because the oil companies have raised their prices on ALL petroleum products. Not just gasoline. |

Gradual Trabsition
Had the Biden administration committed to an organized transition to green energy while keep our energy independence and all the other policies of the previous administration in place, none of this economic turmoil would have occurred.
