Happy New Year!

Well three years running I've gotten sick around the New Year. Very tiresome. Looking forward to a better new year this time around. Starting off with a better job and a new car. I honestly don't see the economy getting much better with the status quo being what it is. The people in control (the banksters, not the president) simply do not want to take it on the chin, like they should have a few years ago, so they will continue to run their con games on Wall Street and in public finance. My own tack is to move to the safest positions I can within the captive 401k plans we're in. I have already gotten most of my own non-retirement monies out of the stock market a few years ago. It's been a struggle to keep things together and "normal" for the last few years because of my employment situation, hopefully that will not be the case going forward. I think I am going to follow the advice of people who seem smarter than I am, people like Charles Hugh Smith for example. I think the building of social capital and diversifying ones income streams needs to happen for a great many of us. I think the next 20 years will barely resemble the last 20 years. There is only one constant in the universe, change.
