- In This Issue:
- The US stock markets continued breaking new highs in January of 1996
- even after a very healthy rise in 1995. In 1995 Consumer Price Index
- rose only 2.5%, the Federal reserve has lowered the interest rates and
- analysts b
- elieve more are expected to come. All these are good signs that 1996
- will be as good a year as 1995. On the cautious side just look at the
- price of gold. Its price has moved up above $400 and continuous rising
- after ye
- ars of stagnant moves. Lets just stay cautious.
