What is real?

Compare your own personal experience with what is presented to you by mass communications.

There is a solid disconnect.

They claim thousands die of influenza every year.
I tried to think of any personal knowledge I have of someone who died of the flu. I couldn't think of even one! Finally I remembered a relative who died in the 1918 epidemic. That was it.

On the other hand, I have had lots of personal acauintance with automobile deaths.

The world I see every day is pretty good and wonderful and even delightful. That is the real world. I hear of so much bad stuff, but that is not my experience.

What is your experience?

Abundance

We live in an abundant world.

There is plenty of sunshine, and air.
Lots of oxygen.

Things are going well.

Let the flowers grow!

$4,500 per person

The U.S. budget deficit hit a record $1.4 trillion in the just-ended fiscal year, the government said on Friday, as the deep recession and a series of bank rescues cut a gaping hole in public finances.

wow!

That is a lot of money.

Comes to more than $4,500 per person.
For my little 4 person unit that is $18,000.
What did we get for that?

I don't know how to take it.
Maybe we really don't have to pay it back?

10,000 bull market goes on

Today the DOW 30 closed above 10,000 for the first time in over a year.
What a difference a year makes!

The next expectation is DOW 11,000. There may be some backing and filling but the next 1000 points should come quickly.

Don't ask why. Speculators never die, and are always reborn.
