Weekend Linkage – July 11, 2009
Do you know exactly one year ago on this day, July 11, 2008, crude oil price climbed to its all-time high of $147 a barrel? Today you can buy a barrel of oil at less than $60, 60% lower than its peak. Oil price dropped like a rock since reaching the peak last year, bottoming around $30 at the end of 2008. But since March, oil rebounded strongly amid investor enthusiasm about a quick recovery of the economy. Only a few weeks ago, oil price broke the $72/barrel mark. However, recent economic data (June unemployment report, for example) showed that a full economic recovery is “a ways off”.

Thanks for the link… I appreciate it.
Per the economy, for what it’s worth I think any recovery is much farther away than most realize (or want to admit).
So what’s the answer? I don’t know… but I suppose I will just continue to work toward greater self-reliance, and health… physically, emotionally, spiritually & financially. And work to do my part in my sphere of influence.
Thanks for the mention!
