Dumbest Products of 2007
This was the year of lead paint, choking hazards, and toys that turned into the date rape drug. A look back at some of the worst -- and wackiest -- products found on store shelves. Some of the products on the list are the iPod dock that doubles as a toilet paper holder, potato chips infused with caffeine and B-vitamins, the quadruple bypass burger, bottled water for dogs and topping the list Aqua Dots, a children's toy with the added bonus of subbing as a 'date rape' drug.

Where to Invest in 2008
Choosing investments for 2008 is like trying to find a decent Christmas tree in a nearly empty lot. Stocks? Not with earnings expected to fall. Bonds? The safe ones are overpriced. Real estate? You gotta be kidding. Still, all hope is not lost. In this Special Report on Where to Invest, we'll tell you what some of the most successful investors are forecasting for the year ahead.
Where Things Are Headed in 2008 - BusinessWeek
Your Real Cost of Living
Forget the national averages: Your personal inflation rate is likely to be higher.
Like real estate, most shopping is local and prices vary by region. For instance, the cost of living in Houston and Galveston is flat compared with a year ago. But across the Gulf of Mexico in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, prices are up almost 4%.

Investing is going to get a bit rough, thats why you should be able to pull your assets out of and into new fields. The few books ive read on investing all say Diversify Diversify diversify.

You have to laugh at the government's inflation figures. They claim inflation is tame...but they don't figure in the cost of food or energy!! Well we should know that the high paid New York City analysts/Wall Street boys and executives in government don't go to grocery stores, worry about heating bills or gas for their luxury vehicles...
