The current spending boom is being fuelled by credit. My suggestion; if you can't afford it, don't buy it.

There have been so many foriegners on the train coming here to buy stuff cheap. The good thing about our weak dollar is it gets all these Brits and Germans to spend money on our stuff, which mankes the dollar stronger so by the time I am 30 I can go to their countries and get things ludacrisly cheap.

I have a holiday in New York booked for the first week of January.
The amount my wife spends should help strengthen the dollar quite a bit

Never. I tell my wife what I want, its all my money anyways. I hate shopping because I hate malls. And malls are full of people I will begin to hate if I go inside.

Mall+Stupid people+Expensive shit+Debt= Christmas

It's ironic that the Nasdaq is looking to buy all outstanding shares of the London stock exchange.

Nasdaq on November 20 offered to buy all outstanding shares of the LSE, in a deal valuing the latter at 2.7 billion pounds ($5.3 billion). The LSE rejected the offer as inadequate.

If holders of about 61.25 percent of the London exchange's shares sell, Nasdaq will own a total of 90 percent of the LSE, and can take complete ownership and delist the exchange.
Nasdaq, which already owns about 28.75 percent of LSE, declined to comment.

Just ironic.

It'll never happen. There have been take over bids for LSE for years. The problem is a large proportion of their stock is owned by private equity firms and trying to convine them all to sell, and at the same time, would need an offer considerably more than £2.7Billion.
