Back in the Saddle

I haven't had much to add lately - all that is going on with the Fed, the economy, the banks, whew!!! Where to turn for good news? Look to the optimists as described here by the NYTimes on Sunday. A few of them even sound rational. Maybe it's not that bad on Main street. Of course when the ETF that follows the US Dow financial sector is down from 120 a year ago in half to $60 currently, portfolio's are hurting. It must be hurting Main Street in their retirement funds. Or maybe they just invested in Gold, looks good now but long term stocks are the best option - see below...
