The string of high end car auctions(Barrett Jackson etc.) is set to kick off here over the next Month. I think the results will be a good indication as to whether "investment goods" spending is really at an end.
At the last Crossroads show here in December ammo and black guns were flying out the door in anticipation of a repressive administration. However; Not much else was selling.
