Check out this poll from CNN Money. Could it actually be that ordinary, average American citizens are smarter than all the PhD economists, talking heads, politicians, pundits, and lobbyists?
| A bigger, coordinated rate cut by central banks | 4% |
| Regulatory changes | 20% |
| Another stimulus package | 6% |
| Time | 69% |
Lesson: Never sell short the common sense of the average person on the street!

I’ve been spending this week at a Grand Opening for one of my stores in Pensacola, Florida, home of the US Navy flight demonstration squadron, the Blue Angels. And even though this is the exact view from my hotel room, believe it or not, I haven’t set foot on the beach … yet.
Two restaurant recommendations:
- Peg Leg Pete’s has some fabulous oyster dishes (as well as great raw oysters).
- McGuire’s Irish Pub has one of the best steaks I’ve ever had and a fun atmosphere with over $750,000 one dollar bills that are signed and stapled to the ceiling. Yes, three quarters of a million dollars.

Hope you enjoy your time in Pensacola!
Interesting poll, Ron. Thanks for sharing that.
I love the beached there in Pensacola. Have fun. At least get your toes in the surf.
WHEW!!! You are right on the title.
It’s a shame that we are the only ones that know that.
If the government would get out of the way, the markets would heave a huge sigh of relief and “right” themselves.
All the doodling is making a bigger mess.
Also doing a “perp walk” on this mess would help! That would make everyone happy!!!
God bless America!
I wish the politicians and economists could read this blog
Thanks for the mention. By the way, I love Pensacola, and I love McGuire’s! There’s a dollar bill somewhere in there with my kids name! I remember thinking the last time we were there–I hope they have good insurance for fire damage.
My grandfather is a retired Marine Corp pilot, and any time we were close to Pensacola we stopped off at the Naval Air Museum. Enjoy your stay, and have a safe trip home.
