The aim of this blog is to turn current events upside down so that they are more understandable to the average person.

The way we to his is by breaking current events into three sections.

Upside

This section reviews a current financial news story in terms of how the mainstream press plays it. Profits are great. Growth is even better. Bring in the corporate income and for sure it will trickle down through the rest of the economy.

Downside

Well… like most people, you probably are not a titan of industry relaxing on your yacht in the Mediterranean. You’re a human who works. And the money you make does not burst from your wallet every time the stock market goes up.

This downside section flips financial headlines upside down and tells you what they really mean to you, the hard working human. It’s funny how often the sunny profits for corporations can be much less rosy once you crack them open.

Upside Down Side

This section ties it all together and tells you what the headlines really mean to you, your job and your future working prospects. It translates headlines into a digestible, understandable conclusion.

Many times you will find that all the cheering you hear on Wall Street is not for you. It’s for that very small group of wealthy people bobbing around on their yachts.

In the end, this blog aims to help be be better able to distill the world of finance and better understand events around you. You need to know what it all means to your, your future and your financial security.

Turn it upside down side.
