Matthew Tuttle "Three-quarters of people feel more secure or the same as one year ago; that could bode well for the economy." We're in an economy that stinks. We have extremely high unemployment, and the unemployment rate doesn't even take into account all the people who are underemployed or who gave up. I would have expected the (percentage of) people who feel less secure about their employment today to be higher. But three-quarters of people feel more secure or the same as one year ago; that could bode well for the economy. - Matthew Tuttle, CFP, founder, CEO and CIO of Tuttle Wealth Management in Stamford, Conn.
