Investing News Flash - Making investing personal will not only help you avoid losing money but will help motivate you to reach your goals.

A growing legion of debt-laden 'zombie consumers' has been enabled by low interest rates, economists say
Interest-rate cuts in the US have been cheered by Wall Street and the White House.

Investors Increasingly Worried That Current Stock Market Mirrors 1987 Meltdown
Although the stock market may have hit a new all-time high recently, investors are feeling increasingly worried. According to one metric, fear is at its highest level in roughly 50 years. Will investors flock to alternative assets — like Bitcoin (BTC) — as a result? For many older investors, the 1987 stock market crash is like recounting a period in Hell.

Recession fears trigger 'sea of red' in stock markets as traders flee to safety
Asian stocks closed in the red with recessionary warnings front and center on Monday. The selloff on Friday bled into Monday trading, but seemed to stop at Asia as US futures and European stocks are broadly flat. The worries followed a yield curve inversion last Friday, which signalled the bond market's increasing concern about global growth and US recession.

Those recession fears now seem way overblown after 'scorching' jobs and manufacturing data
January's super strong jobs report and a solid manufacturing survey on Friday showed that recession worries may be overblown and slowdown fears are not impacting corporate hiring or dampening manufacturers' sentiment. The economy added a surprising 304,000 new jobs in January, well above the 165,000 expected by economists. Wages grew by an annual 3.2 percent, and were even higher for nonmanagerial workers with a 0.4 percent monthly gain.

Pessimists are predicting a global crash in 2020. You can see why
