Agreed. With falling oil prices, companies' costs are falling while Americans are getting extra cash to by more products. That can be a game changer for any company that needs a boost to its bottom line. I'm more optimistic than the author.

Best Comment has the best comment on this article! :-)

Nice article! It takes a brave person to say it like it is, especially when it comes to Apple. That company has more blind love than any other. But it's important to keep emotion out of it and just look at the cold hard facts when it comes to investing.

Thanks for the well done article. How would rising interests rates impact asset allocation?

Great write-up, eager to see more by you. Added you to my follow list.

It's far from the only reason.

Excellent article Corey, and I agree completely. You may want to check out Steven Hansen's piece on India. He has much to say on the topic as well, I think you'll enjoy it:

I think her point was that you are making an assumption about people here which you couldn't possibly know to be true. It's easy to make offensive comments when hiding behind the anonymity of the internet. You don't even share your photo or name. But I suspect you were simply venting and didn't actually mean to insinuate everyone on this site is on welfare.

John, I didn't know you were so philosophical!
