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 - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
