Maybe I am naive, perhaps the job of the modern day executive is to see who can decieve the investor the most into thinking that there investments are safe.]]> Thu, 23 Oct 2008 07:03:27 -0400

People argue that you can make money if you know what you are doing but even then, the amount of research that goes into making a "good buy" for short term investing doesn't seem worth it if you are playing around with less than $100K.

On the other hand, I do enjoy watching running around his studio with his typical "hysterical" demeanor.]]> Mon, 13 Oct 2008 22:00:41 -0400

That wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Very similar to what they did after 9/11.

Intervention of some sort is inevitable.]]> Wed, 08 Oct 2008 07:11:53 -0400

No you shouldn’t! And here’s why. The market is more transparent now that it ever has been. That is, every conceivable scrap of information that would have any impact on the markets (with the exception of illegal insider trading) is already factored into market prices.

We already know that housing prices have lost value; we already know that energy prices are high. We know that the market went down because particular companies have declared a huge quarterly loss.

The problem is no one can predict how much more negative or positive information will come out on any given day. If they could then that information would already be available and factored in to the markets. When we lose sight of the main reasons we invest in a particular security (good products, services, poised for growth, exc.) all we have left as investment guides are our emotions. I challenge that you won’t get back into the market at the right time! Unless of course your lucky!

With the exception of those families who truly faced financial hardships beyond their control (medical emergencies, jobloss, etc.), a significant number of American Families willingly positioned themselves within a paycheck or two of bankruptcy due to their own greed.

And as far as that goes, blaming the government and mortgage lenders for the current financial meltdown, is akin to blaming McDonalds or the candy aisle at Wal*Mart for making us fat. Yes they offer the product for sale, but ultimately we have the choice of whether or not to buy it.
