Well, it looks like the US President Bush and the US Congress will come to some level agreement on attempting to stimulate a very bad economy. In an election year, you knew this had to be coming. I only hope the stimulus works. But, before we grab our nearest lucky charm and recite some prayers, here is how I think my cousins to the south should spend their money: buy one Google share. With millions of people putting in a 'buy order' for one share, we might expect to see its share price break the $800-mark. While I don't own any shares in GOOG, I, for one, would like to see its share price hit $1000 one day. In order for this to work, I would like to see online brokerages to waive their fees for one day.
Ah --- who am I kidding. Don't buy shares in Google. Do something more original - pay off a credit card balance. Put the money into a savings account for your child, grandchild or loved one. Whatever you do - don't go out and buy anything. $600 does not go very far anymore. If the US government, or for that matter - any government, wants to stimulate the global economy, the entire UN member states should pledge not to collect any income, social, pension, capital gains taxes from its citizens for one year. I am quite sure you could see some 'real' economic activity. C'mon - $600? Let's try harder here - folks.
