Stock Market and Balance
I have just about had it with the stock market. Mer-Kozy and the plethora of EU/ECB rumors is whipsawing the single investor like a sheet in a hurricane. Almost every week there is a different credit rating agency downgrading another country. The dollars sinks, the Vix goes up, gold is confused, and what happened to the bond market?? How can anyone make money in a market that is so frenetically fickle and dysfunctional?
Easy! Become an entrepreneur. Find something you love to do and turn that into a viable business. Become self sufficient! and find balance in your life.
Markets rise and fall, like empires and civilizations. If you are self sufficient, you can easily weather the market cycles as well as a few changes in civilization.
In short, WE must be the change that makes the world a better place to live.
Post Script: If you invest in what you know and your investments don’t make a return, you may want to reconsider your investing.
