Gyroscopic Investing

Does this mean it's a new store and they didn't stock the shelves yet, there are no goods available to stock or they've been sold out?  Nice clean looking store. Why build it and label it if there no available goods to stock?

Looks like what happens when hyperinflation comes to town.

Two things I find upon closer inspection.

There just happens to be one -- ONE -- lonely loaf of broad conveniently available on the empty shelves.

I believe "Manchester cloth" is another term for corduroy.

Well, I always heard that when hyperinflation hits, things will cost you an arm and a leg. 

I guess that there isn't a shortage of shelves, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, colorful signs and bright supermarket lights in Zimbabwe.

That's weird.
