Unemployment numbers seem to be moving down but seem to be far away from positive territory. The government is trying to help industries grow in order to help consumers land jobs. This may take time but the market seems to be rising on hopes. Is hope enough even though the numbers don’t show? Manufacturing data and other growing areas have shown obvious signs of a recovery. A supposed double dip recession is possible but has never happened. Outside influences could hinder the markets such as terrorist activity. If these extremist idiots do another 9/11 incident we could see a huge pullback in the market. Do not think for a minute we are out of the woods yet. We are vulnerable because of the past recession and uneasiness by consumers to jump back in the market. Wall Street is doing fine but what about the people on Main street!
