High Yield Investments

The US markets are still doing the ups and the downs, fueled by everything from oil to housing to the fact that tomorrow is 9/11.  While the markets have their good and their bads days, it is safe to say that at least they are staying fairly consistent.  The markets have been in the habit of gaining and losing about the same for the last two weeks.  While liberal members of the government continually call for Bush to help the mortgage woes, conservatives seem to wonder if that is really the right thing to do.  Is it always the job of the government to bail out people who have poor financial skills, or to bail out the corporations that feed on this area of the markets?  Most Americans will probably tell you “no” as that would be using tax payers money to bail out those that made poor decisions.  If that was the case, I could come up with a few bad decisions that I wish the government could bail me out of.  However, like the average investor, I can absorb my losses and change so that I can make good decisions in the future….for the mean time, I am enjoying the roller coasters, trying to buy up the valleys and selling in the peaks!
