Many of us get tired of the mentality in NE Ohio that Tony Robbins would call ‘stuck.’  He’d say, scratch the record every time you wind up showing your NE Ohio persecution complex, or resigned to fail mentality. (You know he would!).  These sites keep abreast of what is good and actually happening in our [...]

Through Market Watch, I found an interesting web article written by someone with a moniker named Shades of Green. He’s talking about the now a few years old question, what will make the market recover? The title of his article is called Escaping House Arrest  (great title).
