    Funeral Industry Boom!!

    See, there is always a silver lining... just heard a news report that the funeral industry is expecting a bonanza this fiscal period given the expected rise in suicides and mortality rates from people without health insurance because of the current ecomomic crisis. Happy holidays everyone!

    Wish I were a coffin maker....

    The great thing is, with an aging western population, this isn't a short term boom. Funeral services are going to become more and more in need. Buy the shares whilst they're cheap.

    I think you heard wrong. This isn't going to happen.
    You probably just misunderstood the news report.

    I once read that there are only three constants in life

    Sex
    Taxes
    Death

    So, if you want to be recession proof either become a hooker or an undertaker.

    Either way, the taxman will be after your hard earned money.
