from what i gather from CNN money channel, wall street urinal, forbes, etc. most large U.S. corporations are sitting on trillions of dollars in cash. they didn't want to spend it after the mess in 2008 so they just banked it. no spending on machinery or people, nope they just stuffed it all in the bank. now they can pay the price of their foolishness. most US corporate profits are up 50 to 60% while they have 40% less people working. none of the CEO's are crying, their pay didn't go down. the stock market is down. that only means that the value of these companies is down, i could cry, nah! too damn bad. i could have bought the Boston Red Sox in 1977 or 78 for a mere 5 million dollars. in short, you can't buy stocks, too risky, can't buy real estate, could be a double dip recession, stupid to buy into the gold bubble, (more gold is traded in a single day, certificates, than there is actual gold on this planet). a guy that just won 65 million in the lotto was asked, "what will you spend the money on"? he replied, "booze, hookers, gambling, and then i'm just going to blow the rest".
