Happiness
Today we celebrate the free newspaper "Metro" World Day of Happiness a bid to be optimistic, at least once a year. In the article we can see a ranking according to which Spain stands at 26 since happiness. The big question is, What should I do or what to have to be happy. You hit a piece of an interview with a psychologist.
Is it important to have a partner to achieve happiness? Money? What about sex?
According to my research, people who have a relationship is happier than those who remain unmarried. We are programmed to live animals in pairs. The money is only important in poor countries. In affluent nations represents only a small difference. Regarding gender, it is very important for happiness. We all have a great instinct and experience sexual pleasure leaves us great satisfaction. In addition, the works as a lubricant for sex marriages.
Fortunately, money is only one ingredient in the recipe for happiness and do well to grasp because they have not chosen neither a good day or a good year to create this day, after the week so they're having black markets, just to see the Spanish stock exchange, which carries 7 consecutive sessions closing in red.
However, if we continue with the increased optimism we can invest in the bonds of mortality: a bet against pandemics and wars.
Wagering for the good health of a population, or against a pandemic or suffering a war can be a source of happiness ... economically. Insurance companies sell for some years called the bonds of mortality, which in 2007 offered a profit three times higher than those issued by companies.
That things are investments for all.
If there are some guys optimistic by definition, are the stock analysts who see 2008 as a year of increases.
One more year, major stakes in investment firms turn to be destined for the equity. The effects of the credit crisis, rises in oil, the weak dollar and expected economic brake in Western economies threaten to increase the latent uncertainties in financial markets. But analysts repeated, with little more cautious, their forecasts increases of close to 10% for the bags, including Spanish. The picture painted by experts for 2008 points to possible corrections in the oil and the euro, a slight recovery in the public debt, as potential attractions in metals prices and agricultural products.
No doubt the analysts live in a parallel world in which Trichet is a Teletubbies and Bernanke is Pocoyo.
But as Friday and should not bitter, it is best that we look at Bush who came to the rescue of the economy and proposes a fiscal plan to avoid recession. Vale we do not like him the Texan, but if you can do something for the economy, we will appreciate and here we talk about aid of 100,000 dollars.
Summing look couple that gives more money and that happiness is easier to find.

Go cloth with analysts. The truth is that bringing the contrary comes to the same thing to make me an analysis different from yours, but I see that we are very difficult that this year the Spanish stock market rise 10% this year.
