Julie, I think you hit the nail on the head. The Internet is just a fad. :-)
Seriously people will look for ways to save money and a night out will become putting the kids in the car, taking them to Blockbuster and letting them each pick a movie. Dinner will be take out from the local burger place’s drive in window.
A lot cheaper than taking them all out for pizza and movie.
Eventually it will be one of the parents stopping for food and a movie on the way home.

Hi Shannon, it looks like you are advising us not to buy stock at the beginng of a market decline.

I like watching other people make fun of BBI/CC almost as much as I like making fun of them myself. Well done, Julie!
This is a bit of a departure from your normal format of covering companies who are at the top of their game, no?

Lee,
That is so last year. This year the big thing will be companies on the way down who are being bought out at far more than you can buy in. :-)
Of course, there are risks, the company may not take the offer and the continue its downward spiral, but we don’t know hoo that might be, do we. :-)
