I hold (PSEC) also and I have a close of $10.14 on Fidelity. A check on Marketwatch, however shows a price of $10.18 but this reflects after hours activity. Perhaps your SA quote was taken during an after hours spike? On the other hand a look at the graphic for a (PSEC) quote clearly shows the price to be in the mid teens while the price quoted is most definitely $10.36.

Much of what counts comes down to GDP, 70% of which is consumer spending.

With so many less as a percentage of the ready to work labor pool actually working the direction of the economy as a whole has to decline, and it has- The average American family's standard of living has dropped every year for the last 11 years.
The spinmasters can only spin for so long before the whole mess unwinds.
What bothers me is that so much of the "news" out there is riddled with half truths and soundbites attempting to create a wine and roses rah! rah! rally 'round the markets mentality.

Unfortunately there are curves ahead.

It might well have been hantavirus. When admitted, my liver and kidneys all shut down and my blood was toxic. Not quite sure what toxic blood means but a guy in a black outfit and a reversed collar insisted on giving me the Last Rites. I was too weak to argue.
I had both arms and legs with push feed IVs shooting industrial Raid into my body to kill the bugs and whatever else IVs do. My doc told me to have courage. Sheesh!
Six days later I got rolled to a car and not the one way limousine ride.

Playing the Japanese market-
I'm in it for the long haul and the ETF I have found will produce the most after the dust has settled is (SCJ) Japanese Small Cap Index fund. This is one of the few that reacted the least during the recent panic cleansing spree. I have been adding on dips for a couple of weeks and plan to continue.
There are a number of limited partnerships that have done the same thing, primarily buying distressed and bank-owned properties. They have no intention of selling, just renting them out- often to the current squatter occupants.
Home ownership may have seen its heyday- Done and gone.

You hit that sucker dead on- Right on the head. Too bad so many others are buying into the brain sludge being foisted on their petards.

Thanks for the link.
I think a lot of those apparently afflicted may just be afflicted by the images in their own minds along with their afflictions-
PTSD thought to be a possibly related cause. Hmm.
Here's a link to the article.

Take a look at Stillwater (SWC) as I feel it is a better play.
I have farther out calls at $13 in addition to the stock.

Is that being tried on fibromyalgia at this time? I know there was talk of a breakthrough very recently with work done at Albany Medical College.

Real rate is north of 13%-
Labor participation rate is at the lowest rate it has been since 1979 at 63.4%, and getting LOWER every month
That means millions of workers have given up looking for work and millions more are working part-time or in jobs at much less than their skill level.
