Social Security has 'no bankruptcy or collapse in the cards,' economist says — but benefits may change
While surveys show Americans worry Social Security will run out of money, benefits will continue, one economist says.

I love DC but we don't do inclement weather very well. A heavy snow is on its way, and the Harris Teeter is like Saigon '75.

Last year was very weak for a job growth. It's about as low as it goes without being in a recession

Please forgive this ugly chart but this shows Lowe's along with its quarterly dividend. The point is that few Dividend Aristocrats have raised their dividend by so much for so long. Only recently has Lowe's had a few meager increases.

Remember, investing isn't about the money.

It's about the goods and service you can buy with that money.

Wall Street expects good numbers for the upcoming GDP report. The Atlanta Fed model is at 3.5%. However, this is for Q3, so it doesn't include the impact of the shutdown. Q3 began six months ago and ended three months ago. The Q4 may not be so good.

The New York Stock Exchange will be closed on December 25 in honor of my new buy list.

It's been 20 years since I started posting my buy list free to the web.
