The next global slowdown will be the time to back up the truck and load up on a diversified mix of energy stocks or energy-oriented stock mutual funds for the long term...
...them for what the hurricane left behind. With the city all but emptied, it is no longer the party town of popular imagination. Nor is it the teeming mess of violent desperation it became in the storm's wake. Much of it remains under water, stewing in a putrid mix of chemicals and corpses.

The masterless dogs are so hungry and delirious in the 92° heat that they drink this mix, at least a lap or two, and then stagger away. The city smells dead, and although the French Quarter and a few other areas were blessedly spared, whatever exists in many neighborhoods here a year from now will be vastly different...
