Main St. is small busiinesses, employees.
Main St. cares abut the Dow. Stocks/bonds and real estate are the two main vehicles for storing wealth.
Worry about the work and the money will come. And main street has a long, long row to hoe. What restores small businesses is work, more work, and opportunity to work. In real time.
I don't give a sh*t about real estate or stocks/bonds. I give a sh*t about being able to access my clients and my clients need to open in order to have the money to pay me. I give a sh*t about getting my shop build back online so I have a bigger and more effective workspace. I care about joe six-pack having money to burn so he'll buy new hardware from me.
None of that has anything to do with stocks or bonds... And little to do with real estate beyond the fact that a good portion of my outside-sales guys are realtors... And if they're moving, they're busting things.
And I have been fairly lucky through this. The data side of my business, about a fourth, was untouched. And the tinker side of me has brought in enough to make ends meet. But the main business - The computer tech stuff - has been stone dead flat. I have made five times as much in small engine repair and sales, and general repair - Folks lawns still need mowed. And when they're broke on their asses they will have broken stuff fixed rather than buying new.
Like I said. I need main street wide open and rockin. That's where my bottom line starts rising.
