Sometimes you just have to laugh at the mix of advertising and news items. You don't suppose the guy in the left with his head in his hands could use a little Jack Daniels, do you?
Today started of well enough, with the futures up substantially at the open. So what happened? Another huge insurance company, Met Life, is writing down assets because it invested in... (drum roll please) mortgage backed securities. There's a shocker.
Now where's Jack?
I'm Mike in Tucson, your preferred Tucson, Arizona mortgage lender.
Think of me as your Tucson expert.
I may need a little more Jack in the near future it seem like bad news may be here for a bit longer.
Terry,
Okay. Maybe this isn't too funny after all. It seemed funny when I was writing it, though. LOL

Hi Mike...Great Post, I like your comparison, maybe some of these big Corporations should have bought stock in Jack Daniels! Then they won't be in the pickle there are all in.
Cheers, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Fred,
Thanks for stopping by. We need more Canadians down here in Tucson.

I don't know. It might not be a bad trade off to have equities going lower and lower as long as the price of gasoline follows. Dow falls below 10,000 and crude falls below $90.
I filled my vehicle for only$70 yesterday for the first time in ages. Investing in the stock market is discretionary. Buying gasoline is not.
Unless I become a
Cave Beast.
Got any RV hookups in your yard? I'll bring the JD.
Ah, good old Jack Daniels! As I learned in college, J.D. can solve all your problems... at least temporarily.
Brian,
LOL. I never learned that in college.
Susie,
Come on down!
Lenn,
We're all pretty much cave beasts. We wake up in our cave, ride our rolling caves to our work caves, talk to the same cave mates, roll back to our cave and blog about it. It's why we're such a myopic, selfish society. Am I cynical today!

Crap, pass me the Jack. I need to sell my Met stock!
Renee,
Met Life has decided to get into the mortgage business. Time to sell!

Old tried & true maxim of tough times: vice sells! "Pour me another drink, I don't wanna think no mo'..."
"Jose Cuervo, you are a friend of mine...I like to drink you with a little salt and lime..."
Thanks for the chuckle, Mike.
Mike- Booze sales always go up in times like these! And, as you found out, you can decorate with Jack, too!
