I think whatever they are, they will be a lot lower because people right now are likely quite afraid to spend money due to the economy. And especially on fringe items. And also right before Christmas?

I m guessing that the USA is the majority of this market. Every time I turn on CNN, the job losses are up, the Dow is tanking, home losses and bankruptcies up, sales are expectations are down, fear, fear etc all over the news...

I'm here in Canada, and know personally, everyone I know is scared to spend money, my dad, my grand parents, or have lost a bunch already in investments.

How much of a factor it plays, who knows, but surely it will?
