Relax! The Economy's Strong, Inflation's Down, and No One Wants to Eat Your Cat [StreetAuthority]    [Do You Agree With This?]( If you believe that safely and consistently increasing your wealth will not only boost your confidence but also positively impact your wellbeing… If you share the feeling that desperately trying to prove how much money you have is a sign of weakness (and mildly annoying too)… and ultimately slams the breaks on your wealth-building efforts… If you’re open to embracing an honest approach to investing – one whose foundation is rooted in the idea that the best defense is a potent offense… [Then you’ll love what you see when you click here.](   Relax! The Economy's Strong, Inflation's Down, and No One Wants to Eat Your Cat By John Persinos  I contend that investors have overreacted to media noise, losing sight of the bigger picture. Recession alarms are overblown. Inflation has been curbed. And no, Haitian immigrants aren’t coming to eat your pet. Overall economic growth is on track, corporate earnings are robust, the unemployment rate hovers at a 55-year low, inflation has reached a three-year low, and we’re about to get looser monetary policy.

Yes, volatility has gotten more intense, but the broader market trends offer a much clearer picture.

Which is not to say the way forward has been smooth. The Dow fell 1,034 points on August 5, and then over the next six days climbed 1,062 points. Over the following few weeks, the Dow tacked on another 2,000 points, followed by a decline of 1,000 points from August 29 to September 6. Then last week, on September 11, the Dow posted an intraday swing of 910 points, rising by that magnitude in only a few hours. It’s enough to give an investor whiplash.
