I decided this week to focus on articles or commentaries that should be significant to most people own personal life and tell you why I believe this to be the case.
(1) Kathryn Ruemmler removed her name to become the next Attorney General. As we can see from current and past history of Attorney Generals can impact our lives. Whether it be Eric Holde,Ed Meese or Archibald Cox these appointments can play a significant role in the way our country functions and how our individual rights are protected.
(2) New Jersey and New York will automatically quarantine individuals who have come from countries that have an epidemic of Ebola cases. This could affect the actual spread of the disease and the treatment of those inflicted with it.
(3) Builders are selling fewer houses and those they sell are at higher prices then in the past. This effects the value of current homeowners, people in the building industry and those looking to own own or rent property.
(4) The stock market is expected to continue fluctuate greatly. This effects any person that has an monies left in the market as well, those who have retirement account as well as those who rely on the extra income of others in their daily work.
(5) According to a top U.S Commander North Korea has the capacity to put Nuclear Weapons on a Warhead that can be launched onto it’s “enemies”. This countries leaders have no fear of slaughtering their own people for minute reasons shouldn’t we fear how they might act to their perceived enemies?
(6)Teenager rambunctious behavior is due to their desire for new sensations. Understanding this fact might help us find new activities for those young people which will not hurt them (illegal drug use) or hurt others (join gangs).
(7) Do patients need to be protected from themselves. This could effect the regulations that might be put into effect that will inform such patients or prevent them from getting the care they want?
(8) Space travel is now available for basically everyone from the 1 %. Will they be successfully enough so that they can reduce the cost for the rest of us?
(9) Consumers are expected to spend 2 % to 27% less on heating their home this winter. This will enable us to spend those monies on items we truly enjoy instead.
(10) Social Security recipients will receive a cost of living adjustment of 1.7 % in the upcoming years. This not only effects those that receive such benefits but the businesses and families of those recipients.
(11) China continues to grow the amount of Nuclear Subs it has in the high seas. Depending on the current dictatorial leadership this could effect security around the globe.
(12) ISIS has used poison gas in it’s battles in Iraq. ISIS has said it wants to bring it’s terror to the west this is one more deadly weapon it has in it’s arsenal to carry that out.
(13)Al Sharpton’s stock has risen with many Democratic leaders while his views have not changed much. Therefore we can expect the Democratic party to move further to the left in it’s policies.
(14) Proshares Short S&P 500 enables it’s investors to make monies as the market declines. Here is a way for the average investor to hedge their bets in a bear market.
