Bear in mind, the govt is printing free money like a drunken sailor.
This makes any sort of bond or money an instant loser, the govt is forcing your money to devalue.
With a very weak ecconomy, metals and commodities inflate against our own money, but not so much at all compared to the world ecconomy.
That leaves the only possible investment - stocks.
If you have money to invest, the govt is doing everything and anything to force the stock market to increase in value.
No one has confidence in the ecconomy or in stocks.
It is just the only option the govt, with its money policies, gives investors.
And so yes, the stock market has done very well compared to anything else.
Until so e day, we wake up and find our ecconomy fell apart, the extra printed money is only worth the paper its printed on, and the stocks fall apart as well.
Left as things are now, that is the only possible outcome.
Hopefully before then, the ecconomy actually starts performing on its own. Perhaps some of the tricks the govt is trying will actually do something. Etc.
But right now, today, the growth in the stock market looks good on paper, but it it totally 100% artificially created by govt manipulation, to the detriment of all other investments.
Each and every day, as the govt continues this policy, your savings, your wages, your future, is being devalued, being eroded away, but these govt policies.
I'm not trying to be one of those people.... Govt has the duty to keep our ecconomy on an even keel, and it is supposed to be doing stuff like this to keep us functioning.
But - so far, they are protection and picking big investors to protect, at the expense of your savings account. And so far, it has not helped our ecconomy or future.
I would not look at short term stock reports of a few years and celebrate how good your investments have done.....
It is only a govt created bubble. If it works it will kick start the ecconomy and help all sides of it.
If it doesn't work, and it hasn't so far, we are all in a world of hurt.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
