My son admonished me when I told him I check the stock market numerous times everyday. But it’s fun to watch the Dow Jones activity on www.finances.yahoo.com. Throughout the day as the market goes up or down the chart changes making it possible to view the most current results. And so when I have my computer turned on I view the website once or twice an hour.
“Mom” he said, “if people like you would stop obsessing about the stock market the economy would improve.” Since he works for an investment company in Chicago, I respect his advice. But frankly, I don’t think of myself as obsessing. There is no doubt that the stock market will certainly rise again at some point. My son and I both know that. But the question is simply when. And so for me it’s like a game. I keep looking at the website wondering if this will be the time it goes up.
Nevertheless, I told my son, “Rick, you don’t really want me to stop watching the stock market. After all, I can be your barometer. When it begins a healthy upswing, I will let you know that I have stopped viewing www.finances.yahoo.com. And you will have a heads-up that the market has started improving !!”
