The Market is heading up, Finally… GDP, CPI and other key economic reports
March 12, 2012 4:51 pm
Check out the newest Data on the National Economy. The economy and real estate market are finally heading in a positive direction. It is remarkable that the stock market has almost recovered its entire loss, and the real estate market has just stopped the bleeding. The economy should progress at a slow increase. That is not all bad. Maybe this cycle we can achieve growth without the explosion of debt. It that can be achieved, the government debt can be seriously addressed in the next few years.
