If you are like me and thousands of other Americans, you hear conversations each day about the state of our country. There is no doubt it is having a hiccup right now, but.....it is still the greatest country on the face of the earth. The way I look at it.....it's as much our fault as it is anyone's in Washington. Afterall, we are the ones that put them there....at least a small number of us when you look at the total registered voting populace. The American people are the ones that gobbled up the easy mortgages when they knew within that they would never be able to afford the new house, the new car, all the latest bells and whistles. Of course, there was GREED! Deep down....that word creeps within each of us because we are individualists! It is all about ME...not WE! As far as the Presidential election goes.....I will vote my conscience and convictions and as far as I am concerned the choice is easy. I can't even fathom the thought of Obama in the White House. When I really stop and think about that possibility it would suggest to me that many across our land have become deceived. Who is the author of lies and deception? Enough said!
Now, as far as Wall Street goes....I have taken a hit like many have. However, I am staying put and I'm not changing a thing. In fact, it is a awesome time to buy. I only wish I was 25 again like Trey because if I was, I would be figuring out a way to buy, buy, buy. Even though I'm not 25 and am anticipating retiring sooner than later, I believe that American ingenuity will prevail and we will see the economy come back. It is the history of the market. We shouldn't get in the market for the short term...ever!
Bottom line is...none of this caught God by surprise! Like the song says, "when I don't know where to go, I run to the throne."
