Eight Areas to Consider About This Market

With few words, it's probably the most realistic and encouraging comments I have read for a long time. Nothing we can do with the past but remembering and learning from what we have done wrong in an ever changing economic environment.

Things we have witnessed in 2008 will come back again in a different shape or form, Let's not fool ourselves. We need to stick to basics, fundamentals and make sure we understood what happened. We have seen things in 2008 that one year ago was not even imaginable

Unfortunately, it is not only about trends, bear market, unregulated banking system going down and greedy executives trying to make it big for their own benefit. It is also about understanding this new worldwide economic environment that is actually shaping up. How will it impact on our decisions in regards of the stock market?

I am a firm believer we wil make money in 2009, but before we do well, things might get worst for a while. The good times are actually in the cooking. Sound advices as the one from Michael above are realistic, grounded and will get us safe into 2009 and beyond.
