| Recap |
| There are no jobs in America! Unemployment rests idly at 9.1%? How do you spell O.U.C.H.? O.B.A.M.A.! How do you spell R.E.L.I.E.F.? O.U.C.H.! |
| Review |
| Headlines read – “Economists got it wrong”, “Surprise in the Nations unemployment number sinks stocks”. |
| What To Do |
| This is borderline laughable. Are you kidding me! There has never (yes, never) been any economist, market strategist, billionaire investor who has ever been able to accurately and consistently predict the economy, interest rates, or the stock market! (Unless of course, you count the ones who cheat, and who are currently being indicted by the SEC and the US government – go figure). It is mind boggling to me why everyone keeps trying. It must be innate human nature, Darwinian. Heck we cannot even accept definitions as defined in the dictionary, i.e. socialism. Or how about this one (granted off Wikipedia, trust me I get it, I’m on wiki literally 20X a day), Occam’s razor = the simplest solution is probably the best solution. Yet, here is what we find on Wikipedia, “The principle is often inaccurately summarized as "the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one." Wikipedia goes on to try (try) and explain, complicate, and theorize away why even Occam’s razor isn’t that simple – it’s actually very, very, very complex! President Obama must be the editor of this wiki section (relax, I am joking), as just this past week he claimed that Chrysler makes “the best cars in the world.” There is literally not a single source of any kind, not one, that would make this claim – except The President of the United States, because he wants your vote! There is literally zero evidence (anecdotal, statistical, or empirical) that Chrysler is the best car company in the World! How did we get to this point? Where we cannot even be honest with ourselves, the public, uh the world? Where we change definitions, strategies, philosophies to mean what we like, not what they clearly mean? Is it stupidity? Ignorance? A combination of the two? No, it is deliberate, calculated, cold blooded “manipulation”!!!! The same type of manipulation that Wall Street plays on the small fry investor and uninformed American public – economic data propagated alongside the media with the express consent of both political parties vying for the next election prize. Add in cheap and easy online trading, and wham-o!, the small investor is left dangling in the wind once again. The Small Investor should consider a more stagnate, buy and hold, diversified portfolio. Evidence and research is abound that this is the only way for the small guy to compete with (and beat) Wall Street! |
