Look at the Christmas sales. They have been the worst since 2009. I think a lot of the retailers made a mistake. They believed the hype, just like the investors and the economists. They loaded up on inventories coming into the Christmas season. That is why we got a 4 handle on the third quarter GDP. But I think they are finding out that a lot of Americans just don`t have any money to buy stuff. They are spending too much energy and food, they have lots of debt and lousy jobs. So, I think we are going to see some record sales following Christmas in the New Year. Not sales in selling, but declines in prices for sale.

China`s Currency Is Likely To Appreciate in 2014
I think China is very likely to see an appreciation of their currency in 2014. That is going to a good thing for chinese wage earners, for chinese consumers who are going to make a better deal on the things they need to buy. Its not going to play out so well over here because as the chinese currency becomes more valuable, their goods become more expensive and americans already have a hard time buying stuff. Look at the Christmas sales. they have been the worst since 2009.
