The bubble doesn't have to burst - we will simply adjust until it's a very small sphere.<BR/><BR/>camel:<BR/><BR/>May be too late already.

Take that money you save by not purchasing that new combine and outbid some of your neighbors for more ground. Make no mistake, this is a bubble, but it's still a pretty small bubble that will get much larger before it bursts so you should have ample time to get that nice, shiny combine and grab some more land before the next puke in the markets. Happy days are here again.rhoadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10873812169611661111noreply@blogger.com
