by Claus Vogt

Just look at the long-term chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average below. The first thing you'll probably notice is that it starts at the bottom left and rises strongly to the top right of the chart. So the message is clear: U.S. stocks have risen over this period.

Which do you think will be most important to balance the U.S. budget?
Welcome to Money and Markets.
It's been a busy week, and change is in the air. From skyrocketing prices at the gas pump to sticker shock at the grocery store, we all feel the bite on our wallets.
And there is much debate about the U.S. budget and how to at least start to decrease the deficit. So paramount is the concern over U.S. debt that major rating agencies, like Moody's and Standard & Poor's, have issued warnings that the "AAA" debt rating we've grown accustomed to may be a thing of the past.
That's indeed a wakeup call for every investor and every American.
We'll keep you abreast of the happenings by sharing Weiss analysts' market perspectives and recommendations. Don't miss them. There's bound to be important information you'll want to know.
We hope you'll tune in daily as we keep you up to date and focused.
