...Sort of like the '60s and '70s, when the stock market really went nowhere. Is that what we might be headed for longer term? Yes, exactly.

Real cheese is made out of three things: milk, salt and some sort of coagulant, which will be listed either as enzymes or rennet on the label. You can add flavoring such as dill or pepper or nuts. Aside from that, cheese has three ingredients and only three ingredients...
