We are at the beginning of a prosperous stock market rally

People are worried about today’s market and they think we are heading towards a recession. But their view is most likely obstructed by a short term bias and previous pain experience. They remember 2003 crash, they may remember 2008 crash, only a few experienced 1980 – 2001 rally, or 1950 to 1960, and all only Continue reading →
