(42,641 posts)I read the Chicago Tribune, a right wing (of course) newspaper. The Business section is filled with articles about investment advice for the budding millionaire. Rarely mentioned is that 30 years of stagnant wages has left the vast majority of people unable to save any money, much less enough money to accumulate wealth.
Lost in all the advice about which types of investments to make is the reality that no matter the market performance, only large investors have the assets to weather bad markets and the expertise, or some might say insider advice, to choose wisely.
As to "mirroring the priorities" I have read much nonsense about the TPP at this site. Advice to wait and see what is in the agreement rings false when the evidence is overwhelming that trade agreements depress income for the working class while boosting income for the rich.
