If we have doubts, we hold back, and the economy suffers. You could see it coming. Things had been going so well for so long, there just HAD to be a recession coming. It was just too good for the news media to believe it could be sustained. The ebb and flow of our economy is a natural process.
Nothing grows or declines for that matter in a straight line.
There are always plateaus and sometimes losses in the course of long-term gains. Okay, so much for the global view. I, for one, simply refuse to play. I m not hiding my head in the sand. I recognize that the market is down.
