Quote of the Day
"It’s not good to believe everything you see, but dismissing everything is no way to go through life either. Consumers of financial information would do well if they can find a middle ground. Read with a healthy skepticism and realize that the truth often lies somewhere between belief and doubt."
(Michael Batnick)
