17 year high Options

[brooklyneast05]

Inflation reached a 17-year high last month, fueled by high gasoline and food prices, all but assuring that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates on hold for the time being.

Consumer prices were 5.6 percent higher last month than they were in July 2007, a brisker pace than economists had expected, the Labor Department said on Thursday.

That was the sharpest annual increase since January 1991, as Americans paid more for clothing, food, transportation and recreational products

the food prices are what kill me. every time i leave the store i feel like i spent a ton of money, but when i get home i realize i really didn't get all that much for it.
