It is a turbulent time...imagine how people felt in the "roaring twenties" when the stock market began to crash leading to a ten year down cycle and a loss of tremendous wealth...if you are younger...time is on your side...investments that create wealth or make money for people seem to find a way to survive in the long run...don't invest money you will need back to pay a bill any time soon...think longer term opportunity...after all...80 years later and the stock market has reached an all time high...
