Each of us needs to find the right approach. It's about knowing your own MAP and then applying that knowledge to the situation. Unfortunately, that doesn't sell the news. I think it was one of the founders of the Denver Post back in the 1800s who said, "The only thing guaranteed to sell in bad times are newspapers and liquor, because people want to read about their problems and then drown them." There are more sources for the news now and liquor has given some of its market over to drugs, but the basic thought hasn't changed. Hi Bob, thank you for your kind words.

Since our economy is based primarily on consumer spending, it is mainly the emotional state of consumers that determines the strength...or weakness...of our economy.
