Typewriter user triggers market sell-off?
I don't know what to make of this, but yesterday, while the DOW Jones average was falling a frightening 416 points, a record number of visitors, 81 to be exact, visited this site.
Does this make The Red Electric some kind of counter-cyclic economic indicator?
Perhaps my post about Christina Wall, the 32-year-old graduate student who is dabbling with a 1949 lifestyle, tipped some kind of computer-tracking meter, which spooked the market.
But in China too?
Well, maybe. Let's face it, if educated 30-somethings start turning to Hi-Fi's and typewriters, the consumer durables market has a problem.
On the other hand, eBay and other on-line auctions of vintage appliances may be solid investment bets.
Remember, you read it here first.
