| we're currently in a recession. statistics that show whether you are in a recession or not are not usually immediately gathered, and by the time the data is collected to prove you are in recession, you're on the way up again already. |

Stock market investing is such a diverse phenomenon that many seem to ignore the efficiency and growth in this field rather concentrate only on monetary benefits.

Any recession is overblown by the press for political gain, which becomes a self fulfilling prophecy when listeners pull back their reigns and fail to spend. But the dummies who bought at the peak of the real estate bubble and failed to read their loans from greedy lenders did not help any. Although, I hear that giving loans to unqualified borrowers was sort of forced by federal regulations encouraging home ownership for the poor.
The (private) company I work for is doing well enough that they sent us all an extra $300 (minus taxes) to go along with the stimulus.
And many of the stocks in my IRA/Roth are bumping back up now that earnings are coming in with 30 to 100% growth (exept one that missed estimates by a penny). One was just bought out at 18% cash premium to its April 4 price. So there are still opportunities out there. |
