DocumentWorry-free investing
The stock market is doing better. The improvement in stock prices is a relief for the millions of Americans that poured their savings into equities over the past decade to fund their retirement, their children's education, and other long-term goals, only to watch much of their savings vaporize during a three year long bear market. So, is it time to hike your commitment to stocks and make up for lost financial ground?
