Wow. The price I found a few hours ago has gone down substantially.

$13 for 2 51 oz Folger Cans.

Gotta be quick, I guess.

Another day of the market selling off. Hoping we have a turnaround this afternoon, otherwise we may have started another losing streak.

Let's hope this is the start of reclaiming all those losses for pension funds, 401k's and IRA's.

So far this morning we are back to selling off again. However one day does not make a trend. Here's hoping we end the week green and don't start another weekly losing streak.

Always cautious because of Obama's wise advice. "Never underestimate Joe's ability to **** things up"!

Neat.

Now look at the price of coffee being traded. Note: it has nearly doubled since Biden was inaugurated.

Look at the 3 year chart and coffee is up 127%.

Well that's now multiple down days in a row yet again.

Hopefully we can have a comeback in the next couple days to avoid another weekly downtrend starting.

Things are looking just awful across the board in so many ways. This is what people voted for and they are getting it good and hard.

I guess what goes up must eventually come down and vice versa.
Is it time to dump the Real Estate and jump into Bonds ?...............

Yes, coffee is going up.

And I would put coffee into the category of items that is important to many people's lifestyle, and general contentment but not critically important to maintain health.

So yeah, for those who drink it coffee is important.

And you can make cheap coffee or VERY expensive coffee.

Maxwell House brand, 42.5 oz for $9.90 works out to about 11 cents a cup. Two cups of coffee per day and you're in to it for less than 25 cents.

So while that may have increased from a few years ago, it's still way down in the noise as far as things that will bust a budget.

Just trying to keep it real here. Most staples are going up in price, but we use a lot of carrots and bananas, and they have been 77 cents and 44 cents a pound respectively, for as long as I can remember. Like, a decade.

What a bunch of liberal BS.

ALL STAPLES HAVE GONE UP DRASTICALLY UNDER BIDEN, SOME SEVERAL FOLD IN PRICE.

Meat, milk, eggs, flour, juice, canned good, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables are all at record prices.

Only an idiot celebrates marked increases in food prices, as they impact the poor and lower income citizens far more than anyone else.

THANKS JOE!

Well no comeback today. We are back to weekly losses again.

Wait until this mega hike on the prices hit things that really matter like rice, beans, wheat, grains, etc. Meat is already through the roof. Dairy is going nuts. What happens when all of these are 10X or 100X?

If you can live on carrots and bananas, great. But they will go wonky soon enough as well. They are transported just like everything else. Trucked into you. And when diesel hits twenty bucks a gallon, EVERYTHING you eat is going to go nuts. (including nuts)
