In case you missed it, here’s a summary of the ETF topics and market reviews I posted to my blog during the week ending on 5/6/2012.
The feared jobs report turned out worse than expected pointing to an economy that is muddling along at best but certainly not growing as it should considering the trillions of dollars that were spent over the past few years.
Not helping matters were weak economic news out of Europe with most of the eurozone member countries now having slipped officially into a recession. With this weekend’s elections in France and Greece looming large, the bulls simply assumed the fetal position for the time being and let the bears have a few days of fun.

With the debt at 16T and going higher, what will happen to America in the future?
It seems Washington just ignores our debt like nothing to worry about and keeps spending driving the debt higher.
How bleak will our financial landscape be and is there any hope for our children?

David,
No one has that answer. I only tell you from an investment point of view that it’s crucial during these uncertain times to have a disciplined investment approach that includes stepping aside to avoid the brunt of bear markets whenever they strike.
