Any guesses how the re-building following Katrina will affect the TSP funds? At minimum 225 Thousand homes will have to be re-constructed from the ground up . Every piece of heavy equipment to include cars,boats,buses,trains and tractor trailers will also be totaled as they sustained electrical systems damage from flooding. Did anyone track the impact Andrew had on FL on the TSP as Andrew replaced and re-furbished 25 Thousand homes and there was minimal flooding in the small towns?
Katrina’s damage was magnitudes higher then anything FL has seen in modern times, as Katrina wiped out a major metropolitan city.
The building boom down side is that New Orleans was the # 1 port for imported concrete and it will take months for another port to update their facility to handle the incoming concrete.
A friend of mine who purchases gasoline by the tanker truck was told that it may become very difficult to get a gasoline shipment in October.
By the way I am the average Joe, the price of gasoline has impacted my spending habits.
There was an article I read a few months back where this stock market analyst gauged the economy by how many boats under 25 foot were being sold. A few months ago he said that there was no slowdown in boat sales so the economy was healthy.
I just put off buying 24 footer.
Confused as ever buy I count my blessings daily.
