4. I don't even care

Wed Nov 7, 2012, 12:00 PM

Nov 2012

After 2008 average Americans stopped being able to invest in the stock market anyway. Some don't even want to if they can afford it. You can't trust it anymore. It's rigged for the wealthy. I have a little money in it but not enough to care if it goes down a little today. With Obama in office for another 4 years maybe we will begin to get back to a point where average Americans can invest in the stock market again if they chose to.
