The Federal Reserve took its first baby step

Wall Street, didn't get too worked up. Stocks fell a slight bit, but then turned positive soon after.

Investors might be dismissing the Fed's boost to the discount rate as largely a symbolic move because the Fed has not indicated any willingness to raise its more important federal funds rate anytime soon.

The days of very easy money seem to be coming to an end.

It would be nice to start seeing things getting better and better, but every time I think that is going to happen things turn back around again and the suffering continues.

I have high hopes that things will begin turning around soon, but I sure am not going to be holding my breath over it.

I am with you dimetime!! I do not see things changing very much anytime soon. If anything with the ones we have in government, things will get a lot worse.

We vote these people into office for them to do things that the people want. But they are doing just the opposite. They do not care what the people want, they just want to line thier own pockets.

Things are really jumpy right now so if you see things go up do not jump on it too fast.Stocks seem to go down just as quickly as they go up right now.Be careful not to get caught in the jumping and falling stocks until you can be a little more sure that things are going up to stay for a while first.

Money is to hard to come by now a days for me,I can not see myself putting my hard earned money into some stock that might not be worth anything tomorrow.Though I would like to invest I just can't take that kind of chance right now.If you do be very careful.

Well making an investment is something that you need to be sure about before you attempt to do anything. Your right money is difficult to come by and shouldn't be wasted.

There are several risks when it comes investing money so before you make any decision on investing your money, learn all that you can about investing before you actually take that first step.

Man if only it keeps up,slow or fast just keep improving,we need the stimulation to our economy real bad and would be a fresh thought to see things get better.

This may not be the end of things getting bad,things still have a long way to go before we really see any kind of vast improvement,but I will take anything that we can get right now.

There are many people without jobs still today and more and more people loosing their homes and vehicles because of the loss of work.I think that this is a good sign and hopefully things will steadily get better.

The politicians are saying that the economy is on a slow yet steady rise,I hop0w that they are right this time.
