Up or Down Which is Better?

Obviously up is better right? Things are looking up, or if someone says, “there’s a lot of upside to this” that sounds great. Compare that to we’re on the way down, or there’s a lot of downside to this, those don’t sound so good. How about a thumbs up, great, versus thumbs down, bad.

In our financial life we want our investments to go up and we want to buy low and sell high. When things are going well it’s said that they’re looking up.

Up is not always good, however.
