[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1320991, member: 26302"]To the Op, I would suggest reading some beginner economics books and then read opinions here.

Most of us agree on 99%, but that last 1% we can be vehement about. :) Its also a warning to everyone who sits here arguing the 1%. We think that the 99% that we agree about, since we all agree, are accepted as fact, when in fact there are very large percentages of the population who disagree with most of what we accept as "normal". This is dangerous since we are subject to groupthink, just like any other group. I am just saying that before deciding your investment direction, I am hoping everyone reads lots of other sources before deciding on where to spend their money, that's all. Just my opinion.
