Americans are falling in love with stocks again? There are a billion shares traded a day and have been for years. To say Americans are just starting to jump back into stocks again is just plain stupid to say.

Everybody on the bus. To bad if you missed the run-up from the last few years, but feel free to feel good and jump on.

In other words,buy high sell low. Repeat until broke. Jim Cole, the man quoted in the article, is a perfect example. If you want to make money in stocks you have to buy when prices are low (as they were in 2008) and sell when prices are high (now).

It's only money. When you've got your health you've got everything. At least that's what I tell myself.

Worry is well founded. Impending disaster could make the 2008 damage look miniscule in comparison. Our debt levels loom as a gigantic financial house of cards ready to collapse. The sad thing is that by waiting, we are only making things worse.
