looking at the poi market it seems like its in a general decline since its 2000 peak. But I have a great idea.....
Poi stimulus. or possibly we declare poi a right and than we can pass a law requiring everyone to purchase a certain amount of poi. you know since its your right. That will help the poi market immensely.
after the first stimulus wears out we will likely need a second larger one though that should also include the grocers, i mean since the poi market is picking up we dont want the poor grocers to be saddled with the burden of selling all that extra poi, we need to subsidize them so that its easier to sell to us.
Here is a chart of the poi market, it really looks like it needs a bail out bad.

I predict a poi bail out.
I dont think glass steagal act had much to do with that market tho. ;P

I'm still just lurking.. but I wonder what the repeal of the "Glass Steagal Act" has to do with the price of poi in Hawaii? Don't go run back through the thread looking for it in as much as i brought it up as an interjection to the convesation.
Wikipedia:
""The Banking Act of 1933 was a law that established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States and introduced banking reforms, some of which were designed to control speculation[1]. It is most commonly known as the Glass–Steagall Act, after its legislative sponsors, Carter Glass and Henry B. Steagall.
Some provisions of the Act, such as Regulation Q, which allowed the Federal Reserve to regulate interest rates in savings accounts, were repealed by the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980. Provisions that prohibit a bank holding company from owning other financial companies were repealed on November 12, 1999, by the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act.[2][3""
I agree the attitude here has changed and it's a good change. I was ROTFLOL at the Keynsian crack but remember If they have ears to hear let them hear. (nudge don't shove) I think after years of lurking and occasionally posting here I can honestly say that most of the folks here are open to the truth and are willing to listen.
Opps forgot my prediction.. I predict that paulw will have his thread hijacked by someone who lives in Hawaii. (man Im good)
Blessings,
