1. Just wait until gas prices start to rise back to $4-$5-$6 per gallon

and see how America does compared with the rest of the world.

2. Oil company price gouging during 2007 needs to be investigated.

And the administration needs to put everyone on notice that it will not tolerate any manipulation of the market. High gas prices will prevent any recovery, and I believe are responsible for a lot of the economic problems in the first place.

People were struggling with high gas prices before they started defaulting on their mortgages. And the oil companies have made billions and billions in profits over the last few years. Something stinks big time.

3. There Are Upticks Here...

Many investors have seen their portfolios recover very quickly in the past couple months...thanks to the influx of bail-out money. In my case, I saw my investments regain almost all it's 2008 losses in two months...and I heard a report that investments were recovering at the highest rate seen since the Depression...between 20-30%. Of course, unless you're playing that game, you won't see it...and the money is not being re-invested in creating jobs...just a way for the banks to keep their biggest customers happy and look good on their "stress tests". I'll be interested, now that the "test" is over, if that increase will continue.

4. It's moving up

just like everywhere else but will be a few years before anyone sees real recovery.
