Wild ride

As I watch this crazy stock market give people a wild ride daily, I cannot help but think about what my spending habits are doing for the market. I have come to the conclusion that I do a lot. Read on.

A. Most people in the market today own Apple stock. I have helped them out tremendously by purchasing or having purchased for me 4 iPhones. I have 5 iPods (I know that is mildly crazy). I also have a Mac Book. So to Apple shareholders everywhere: you're welcome.

B. I fly A LOT. Sure, my husband finds the cheapest fares ever, but still. I fly. If any of you suckers still own airline stock: you're welcome.

C. That was all I could really think of so maybe I do not do that much, but you get the point. I think that we are all helping to economy little by little. 

I think it time that we all stop freaking out about things. The market will correct itself...if it is allowed to do so. I wish the government would butt out and let people decide which companies will make it and which will not. The government running our private banks is not the answer. Since when are we a socialist economy? Ok, I'll stop my rant now. I think you all get the point.

I think we all need to hang on. We need to believe in America. And we need to make sure that we are supporting the companies that we believe in.
