Investments Down

Because of the economy and the way things are still going the number of people willing to take a chance with their money and invest it, has declined and is continuing to do so.

Right now just about everyone is putting off investing their money because money is extremely stretched for so many right now.

I personally haven't made any investments in a while because I am like so many and have stretched my dollar until poor Washington screams for mercy.

That sounds horrible but it is true. Millions of people are doing the same thing I am and saving money rather than taking chances with it.

I have had luck in the past with some investments, though I don't know how long my luck would hold out which is why I haven't made any new investments in a while.

Maybe when this country finally gets back on its feet again people will then begin to be able to take those kinds of chances again,but til then I don't see it happening any sooner.

The news says that when the dow keeps and even mark for a while that Americans will probably shy away from investing in stocks.Americans have got to much to loose,with the economy the way it is.

Things seem to be making a slow improvement,we just need to see it stay that way for a while, before we are willing to take what little money we have right now and invest it when the chances of you getting a good return on it is minimal at best right now.

Exactly which is why I am not making any new investments because I am one of the many that just cant afford to lose money right now.

Though hopefully in the future and I do mean the near future things will begin to change and we can all find a few extra bucks in our wallets.

That sure is something that I would love to see and I know that there are a few other million Americans who would also love to see that very same thing!!
