Don't believe any doom and gloom you hear about Europe, or Greece, or anything else. The stock market would not have had a big run up in the past year and a half if the smart money didn't think the recovery would happen. We are seeing now that corporate earnings and the stock market improve before the job market does. Europe is not likely to have a huge impact on the U.S. economy. The world economy follows the U.S. economy, not the other way around. Also, we are seeing signs the economy is improving, although Mr. Bernanke is still talking very cautiously. Keep in mind that Wall Street axiom that "the market climbs a wall of worry." Don't let the worry prevent you from getting into the market. All the money that the federal government spent is slowly filtering throughout the economy.
