The Post-Katrina Economy

TDI was thinking of doing a Follow-Up on the gulf coast regions affected by Hurricane Katrina anyways, now that parts of the 9th Ward have been opened to the public. But then we came across an editorial by Neil Cavuto, vice-president of business news and anchor of Your World. And it kind of makes you wonder about our economy's resiliance, and about presuming market pitfalls will ever happen. TDI won't force-feed the peice on you, so instead we'll link to the editorial. But here is a great section of the article, in reference to a post-Katrina economy:

A nation that's had to endure hurricanes and high energy prices, a protracted Iraq war and deep political divisions, a president with poll ratings in the pits and nearly daily drumbeats of negative news that paints a nation in the pits... we are a nation in the pink.

We're doing, moving, shopping, hiring and booming.
