Upsides to the Down Economy


Things are looking up for 2010! At least it seems that way-stocks are up, consumer confidence is up, the real estate market seems to be picking up (especially for houses $300K and under), the holiday season was better than expected. The Dow Jones jumped more than 150 points Monday. Will it last? Who knows, even if it slips down again, at least it seems to be heading in the right direction. Up! I will take it as a good sign. Now, it would be nice if banks start lending money and unemployment falls. From people I've talked to, they are optimistic for the New Year, because they feel, economy-wise, it couldn't get any worse than 2009. So, good riddance old year, hello new. Bring it on! Woo! Woo!
