It's not just the big-money guys that play in the stock market now. My parents (dad was a university professor, mom's a homemaker) had most of their retirement income in the markets. They lost almost all of it a couple of years ago. Now they're doing better. The uptick across all the markets in the last year, in spite of a war and gloomy employment numbers, is a signal that a recovery is on the way, because it means that more ordinary people are investing.

Thus says someone with no financial background whatsoever.
