KANSAS CITY, Mo. - On Sept. 29, 2008, the Dow Jones Industrial suffered its largest point loss of all time.
A historical 777 points after Congress rejected a multi-billion dollar bank bailout plan.
Now, one year later, there are mixed signs of recovery.
Among them: home prices. They rose for the third month in a row in July, though they are still more than 13 percent below a year ago.
Analysts say the economy is on the rebound.
Adam Bold is the founder and CEO of Overland Park based, The Mutual Fund Store. He says, "This economy is getting better. This market is getting better. And I think with patience, you'll find that things are going to work out just fine."
It won't be without bumps. Bold says a lagging factor is jobs.
Companies won't hire until they're sure business will turn around.
And, the weak job market along with tight credit is raising concerns about the upcoming holiday shopping season.
