A lot to worry about

The stock market of late seems to be noticing them. But commentators seem to be looking right past them—systemic risks. Why do I say that? Well, it seems every time I flip on the TV to a financial show, one mutual fund manager after another is trotted out to tell me this is a great buying opportunity. They do it with such confidence. They are dressed so well. They are usually fairly good looking, trim and fit—not dumpy and ruffled like me. All part of the sales package is my conclusion.
