It's gained some strength compared to a year or so ago.
A weak dollar helps exports a strong dollar helps keep the costs of imported goods cheap.

6 of one and a half a dozen of another.

Personally I prefer a weak dollar. Someone said a strong dollar is good for those vacationing around the world. That's not me and likely never will be.

1% of the population owns 75% of all stocks. im guessing the top 10% owns more than 90%. which would leave 90% of hte population having basically nothing.

makes you wonder what the real intentions are for the incessant news coverage of stocks?

this stock market is in a massive bubble. alot of hte cheap money printed by the FED has gone into the stock market. the economy is a distaster. it is worse than the 2000s stock bubble.

I hope so

I would've thought a smart guy like you would've rolled it into an IRA.

Never bad advice to bump your 401k, but it's starting to feel like we're buying at the top of the market...

dollar cost averaging is the way to go for the long run.

If they make 90% of the income, they're ripping us off.
