    We are already in the big crash , inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt,the FED will have to pull all the stops . The unfortunate issues is that the other market are being decimated. If you want to stay green ,you have to rely on a lot of diversification.
    Currently up 15% and being carful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.

      Inflation is going to gradually going to become part of us and due to the fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest decline in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income,investing is the only way most people ever enough money to retire.

    What I'm getting the impression on in the comments to somewhat judge how this works is most Americans who never traveled or know how things work outside of the country immediately judge the guy as being the worst human being ever for wanting to do business in Mexico purely because it was about profits for him, not because of the idea or how it's bringing jobs to Mexico that pay well according to the locals who are chiming in. The other observation is this aside, poor-minded people or people that hate successful people always try to look for the worst rather than the best, it's pretty sad.
