Gosh, it looks like "they" are pulling out all of the stops to get the american investors "back into the market".

Suddenly we are being deluged with an enormous amount of financial recommendations. Buyers beware . . . invest at your own risks".

While we would all like to be optimistic about the economy, this is all hype to restart the market; but it is too soon to know the real situation with many of these stocks. One "slip" and one could lose a lot of "investment principle".
