remonetary policy...interference Those were the words that worried me and made me think it would be a good idea to keep some cash. I have heard how the raising, raising, raising of rates in the early Greenspan days (was it the mid 70's or something like that?) caused a recession and a bear market. I was not investing yet and so did not realize what was going on. aside: A very VERY fascinating side effect of investing is that I have become interested in the national and global economy and read about them much more extensively than I would have ever done without investing. Everything that happens has the chance of impacting our portfolios! Freeus (And yet Greenspan was an Ayn Rand fan and free market advocate at one point in his life.) BUT: the Gorilla Game will at least have us in companies that are able to withstand a recession (if...) better than other companies. Nevertheless, if consumers are somehow forced to spend less, it will affect all companies somewhat. And panic among investors is never pretty, even when companies clearly have fine earnings. It seems to me that AG is not giving our improved productivity enough of a weighting.
