TAME INFLATION PERSISTS

Weekly Quote, Tip, Riddle & Recipe
 
WEEKLY QUOTE -   “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.”  - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

WEEKLY TIP -  The investment markets experience cycles, and the major indices inevitably see downturns at some point. If you are focused on long-term performance, the good news is that the markets have the potential to rebound in reasonable time. If your portfolio is diversified, that may provide you with some insulation in a correction.
 
WEEKLY RIDDLE -  Shake me, and I’ll do what you want, but first you must extract me from the earth. I may be on the tip of your tongue and over your shoulder. What am I?   
   
Last week’s riddle:

What is the only type of “worm” that will never risk ending up on a hook?    

      
Last week’s answer:
A bookworm.

WEEKLY RECIPE - Skillet Red Beans and Rice in 20 minutes or less!
