Pat says, "These are some articles that I've read over the last few months as I consider divesting myself of some investments I'd prefer to hold onto. I haven't been able to find an article lately regarding a downward trend in the past few weeks (although I'm sure there is one somewhere) and I assume there's an economist out there who would attribute it to this oil fiasco we have going on. When I get some time, I will be contributing some original content to this section, so stay tuned!"
