Yes...In reality the Dow is up. Nice media bit for New Years. It ended on a plus note this year. My returns are creating funds that are barley keeping me & my husband out of the dog house though. Hard to live on a few thousand a month!
Hub lost his job last week & I've been unemployed for 9 months as some of you may remember.... If our investments weren't majorly based in the EU, China and the mid east...we'd be bankrupt. Hence. American companies still really suck and earn almost nothing/pennies. Just glad we have a good financial advisor.
Still, Please Note: we aren't Republicans. Not counting on this slow small economic return to save us. We want work and realize that we're all being manipulated like cattle so the top 5% keep all their billions and party with the Chinese & Ragheads and watch us middle class die in poverty. So yeah, I'll go work at Dunkin' Donuts if I have to; to protect my savings & investments. To pay my bills and not use "credit" ever! As a realist am pretty flippin' sure there won't be Medicare or Social Security around when I need it.
Sorry if I sound racial & mad. Maybe I am. I wasn't just a few years ago....but that's another post and another issue.
I always try to speak the truth.
