Mike is one of the best financial advisers in the country and believes in the markets but he also believes in being ready to observe as well. Bubba and Mike talk about how the markets do rise on average 9% and good solid positions will keep investors in the market.
Bubba and Mike discuss the FED and the horrible job they have done handling monetary policy. Bubba believes the Ponzi scheme is a way to turn the United States from capitalist to socialist.
