More businesses will close their doors in the next 12 months than in the last decade.

[GordonJ]

I'm now ON the record.

Again, more businesses will close down and go out of business in the next 12 months than the number that went under in the last decade.

Why?

Convergence. Not in the mathematical sense, more along the lines of "technology convergence".

Look at the world today. Organized "protests", organized by technology a whole generation has grown up on.

But I want to expand the meaning and include several separate spokes of the wheel coming together, ala Tallmadge Circle (which I've written about extensively, google map Tallmadge, OH and see my idea of convergence).

World Population at a Tipping Point? re Food Production.

Ideologies colliding. Inflation. WEATHER.

I'll be writing more on this later, as I wrap up the great Golf Experiement and get back to Politics and Making Money type stuff.

There is a tremendous opportunity in CLOSEOUTS and CHATTEL in the next year, especially the next 6 months.

Does anyone else get CLOSEOUT NEWS? Lots of good deals, IF you have buyers for the stuff...which is the key.

I'm reconnecting with many buyers, who are looking for very specific things to sell for the next year. Think of "tools to the miners" and you'll get an idea.

This is it. No more "the sky is falling" Chicken Little warnings...

The sky IS falling.

More to come.

What this country needs is to start manufacturing products in this country like we did in the late 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, and 70s and limit the importing of the cheap chinese, japanese and forein imported goods. We can't compete with their prices because they pay people 12c a day in labor. If we don't allow it to enter this country, and their is a demand for that product, believe me, someone or several people will start manufacturing it and they will hire lots of people to keep up with the demand. The reason the economy was so much better and more people had jobs several decades ago, is because this country manufactured most of the products it consumed!
