Well, well….high expectations yesterday, reality today….Powerball winners in California, Tennessee and Florida. A couple of $1 million winners in NC, according to the Powerball website.
Wonder where the bottom of the stock market is…for retirees depending on 401Ks’ and other such sources, the concerns are growing. Stock market down about 10% over the past 8 working days and early indications are there is more to come. Some blame the global economy and oil as the cause for the fall. Not the only two, but two of many, I suppose.
Employment rate down to about 5% from much higher rates, the automobile sector has just enjoyed one of their best years ever. I realize it takes so many different sectors doing well for our economy to hit on all cylinders.
Many area farmers know about tough days, first drought and then the drowning of their crops
Better days are ahead, hopefully.
So, did you participate in the Powerball frenzy? Maybe the most publicity ever for the legal gambling industry. Big winner, government.
Speaking of government. I will be happy when a new president is in the White House and wish a new Congress was being seated. Never thought term limits for Congress would be good, but beginning to think it would improve the process. But who knows?
