Lottery sales overall declined 19% in Fiscal Year 2014 vs Fiscal Year 2013! Say, what? Yes, and even more stunning is the fact that lottery sales in the first half of Fiscal Year 2015 are down 40% from the first half of Fiscal Year 2014. Oh my golly! I was really counting on winning several "multi-million jackpots" this year. What about increasing the price of each lottery ticket to offset the decline in sales? Oh, I guess the demand for lottery tickets is not inelastic, given how sales have plummeted. Well, I didn't need those extra millions.
The focus of the blog is on the economic and financial uncertainties that the world economies will face over the next five years along with demonstrating how investors can profit and survive during the upcoming manipulated economic chaos. Please keep-in-mind that I don't provide investment advice. I am simply posting what my investment views of the market happen to be. Your investment decisions are solely your own responsibility.
