I’m not worried. ABC News says there’s signs that employment picture may be improving soon. Yahoo.
Hate to tell the individual investor that things are rough but you probably already know...
The major players are making their money on both up and down markets. You my friend are treading water.
I do expect the markets to generally trend down for the next few months (guess why?). On the other hand, their are markets that do well under the regulatory or Democratic stress that we are facing. Not really sure how it will play out but...
The end result is that markets are in turmoil and will be for several months at the least. You can take your chances or just wait it out. Sometimes it is very hard to pick decent stocks.
Actually, I doubt that anything good will happen during the next four years so you will have to take chances.
It’s more a matter of hope than anything else at this point. I’m sure that our Government will step in to save the markets if they get too out of control.
I’ve not been in the market since 2008.
IMHO, at 12K the market is way overvalued.
In this day of instant, computerized trading, the individual investor is swimming upstream against a very, very strong current. There’s no way you can beat the big boys. No way you can play along either. Everything moves way too fast for you to keep up.
It’s all Bush’s fault!
Now and till the end of time.
