The Credit Crunch

I never heard of them before, but they have great Brit accents.

I have given up listening to the news. Makes me want to stick my head in something and crunch it (my head). I guess not having a job (market slowdown!!) and having a mortgage to pay isn't helping.

But in reality all my needs are met - life itself, health, food, a roof over my head, some savings (being eked out very carefully), a garden to grow things in, and people who love me. Some good true friends. Best of all: peace of mind. We all have a lot to be thankful for and it's better to focus on that.

Investment Tips for 2008

With all the turmoil in the market today and the collapse of Lehman Bros and acquisition of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America this might be some good advice. For all of you with any money left, be aware of the next expected mergers so that you can get in on the ground floor and make some BIG bucks. Watch for these consolidations later this year:

  • Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W. R. Grace Co. will merge and become: Hale, Mary, Fuller, Grace.
  • Polygram Records, Warner Bros., and Zesta Crackers join forces and become: Poly, Warner, Cracker.
  • 3M will merge with Goodyear and become: MMMGood.
  • Zippo Manufacturing, Audi Motors, Dofasco, and Dakota Mining will merge and become: ZipAudiDoDa.
  • FedEx is expected to join its competitor, UPS, and become: FedUP.
  • Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computers will become: Fairwell - Honeychild.
  • Grey Poupon and Docker Pants are expected to become: PouponPants.
  • Knotts Berry Farm and the National Organization of Women will become: Knott NOW!
  • Chipolte Restaurants and Smith &Wesson will merge under the new name: ChittyChittyBangBang
