Funny, I've been preparing individual tax returns, and there have been primarily significant increases in income year to year. Example today was a gal who works for a fast food place. She was ecstatic. Said amount she earned in 2019 was the most she's earned in a year in her whole life.

Yes, the economy and stock market are two very differernt entities.  And then there is the Bandwagon that always tells us about how the ecomony is roaring.  But the only thing roaring is the Bandwagon.

The Stock Market numbers and the Economy are two different things.  The Economy is nowhere near as good as the Stock Market numbers.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Economy good why not railroads

 

 

 

 

The economy is not good.  It has been slowing all of 2019, and continues to slow.  The railroads are a leading indicator of a slowing economy.
