On a brighter note than my previous post, despite the ugly news from yesterday and overnight, stocks have opened higher on positive economic news out of Europe...while it is well known that European countries have struggled under massive debt issues (as we have as well), economic data released overnight showed that on the majority Europe is seeing a slight uptick in economic activity. Specifically, the U.K. and Germany showed the largest percentage increase in economic growth. As I mentioned once before, I think Europe is starting to look like an attractive place to invest (I say starting to because I have yet to move any money into the geographic area as I'm still monitoring their economic growth).
So, there's some upbeat news for ya...
