My Comments: I wish someone would tell me what the hell is going on! One day I’m told the market is healthy and we should expect the DOW to increase dramatically. The next day there is an equally credible message that the market is way overpriced and to expect a crash. Then today, though written …

My Comments: Do you know what’s going to happen? Me neither. Here are two very opposing opinions of what the markets will do in the coming days. If it makes you afraid, you are not alone. My only bright spot is a program that grew by over 50% in 2008. Will it do it again? …
