   Most American families are looking at the budgets (which are very tight for everyone right now) and realizing that their healthcare costs will go up along with their monthly healthcare payment and deductibles thanks to BO-care. Even those of us that are lucky enough to sill be on an employer policy, the cost for 2014 has increased. Add the additional taxes of BO-care and a huge number of people have to cut back on disposable items. I fully expected this to happen and am not surprised by these numbers at all.

   The stock market is being pumped up by the Feds who are printing money like crazy. Along with the fake unemployment numbers – it is going to crumble. Granted I am not an economist, just an average person who understands the free-market.

   My husband says we are ok as long as the alpha stays strong and that we are worrying too much about beta but to make sure to use non-correlation.

   Well, I know one thing for sure…and that is: if I had any kind of wealth, I would not put it into the stock market!

   In the past, when the market rose up to 10-K and to 14-K, then those who control the market can “bomb” the market and steal billions (if not more) and the market will still look great! Cause it will be over 10-K still.

   There is no where to invest that pays enough to equal inflation. Stocks are reacting to people moving money from Bank savings to stocks for growth and dividends.

   Corporations will boost their profits now by raising prices.
