Your Two Bits

With today being the first day of the new year, I figured I would achieve my goal to start blogging more regularly. To do so, I needed to actually begin; hence the first post on Your Two Bits.

With the economy in a tailspin, waiting to be corrected by the financial wizards on Capitol Hill, I couldn’t think of a better time to begin a blog about money and investing. Everybody is so anxious to get their money into the stock market and watch their portfolios exceed their wildest dreams…

Hold on a minute…

My wife informs me that people aren’t feeling that way at all and are actually quite scared of the market if not currently running from it, right now. That being the case, I think the next six months will be rather telling as far as how severe and long the economic downturn will be. Regardless, can I suggest that we all make a new year’s resolution to be optimistic? I’m not suggesting a Pollyanna complex, but simply that we have some optimism in us. It seems to make life more enjoyable.

Wishing you all a happy new year!
