Gas prices are at five year lows. Can you believe that? Just five months ago gas was $4.00 a gallon and everybody thought the world was coming to an end. I remember thinking this is crazy, how are people going to pay for this? Now, five months later gas is $1.45 per gallon, everybody still thinks the world is coming to an end, but now I don’t mind so much when I have to drive around town. Prices are lower for clothes, cars, food, and services. This is good and bad. It is good because if you are consuming the products that are lower in price. But it is bad if you are the producer of the products that are lower in price. Some people have more money in their pocket and some have less. So what is better? It is hard to say because a lot of businesses are going out of business and people are losing jobs, they are not getting paid as much. I think the key is where is your bottom line? If you have a lot of bad debt and high expenses then that is not good. If you have little or no bad debt and low expenses that you are better off. The key right now is to be smart. Don’t do anything stupid, but don’t be too scared to make a good decision. Right now a lot of quality assets are undervalued such as silver, real estate, and stocks. You have to do your homework and find the right ones, but remember the key is how much cash does the asset produce? Right now and forever cash is king, well at least until the dollar is not worth anything, but that is a different story. If it produces cash and it gets you a high return I would consider purchasing it. If you’re thinking about getting your Minneapolis hardwood floors refinished give me a call. I promise, I don’t mind driving around right now.
