Today on my way to work, there was a significant reduction in the number of trucks pulling shipping containers. The Port of Charleston is one of the largest on the East Coast of the US.
During the big crash in 2000, I noted that this traffic dropped of significantly a week or so before the stock market tanked. Perhaps today's reduction is due to the high winds and the bridges these trucks have to cross, and a big portion of the drivers are staying off the road for safety reasons. I'm probably going to pull back today, sell off some of my index funds and park that money in cash, maybe buy some GLD (a gold index). Nothing radical, maybe 5% or 10%. If the drop in shipping container traffic continues into next week, I'll probably sell off more. ------------- Max Charleston SC _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
