Read your Spiegel and consider yourself “gut informiert.”

In Germany where investors don't even have “access” to the information as in the US, I am much more careful. Typically there the banks have direct liaisons with certain large firms but the individual investor does not have as detailed insight into the financial situation of a firm. We have many accounts, to include Lufthansa, the VA, VW, Boeing, Vanguard, and many others. The fact is, we're making record profits, we're landing long term contracts that are worth a billion plus right now, and the doom and gloomers simply overlook these minor details. You're an idiot with an agenda. The typical German with a precious schadenfreude for the US so he can rationalize his do nothing and "sozial staat."
Are you one of those Germans that reminisces how great it is back home but has a job in the US?
