Wow, TGIF! I couldn’t help but think of a couple of the wild coaster rides at Cedar Point. The vast majority of investors after this week are probably feeling and experiencing the fear of the ‘what-if’ and the uncertainty of what is next (similar to sitting in the seat of a new wild coaster ride with your heart racing…waiting in anticipation for the start).
Unfortunately, after this week’s market loss of approximately 10% and the unknown relative to global debt crises being faced here in the U.S. and abroad, I guarantee investors are not smiling but instead, probably feeling nauseas, questioning themselves, and second guessing their investment strategies. Is this the start of another bubble of global debt or The Great Crash Ahead? Are we entering a double-dip recession? Should I sell now or is this just a minor correction? Maybe I should sell and move my investments to something safe. Everybody has an opinion.
We suggest investors take a deep breath and follow the small percentage of successful investors that are:
- In complete control of their investments and financial futures
- Smiling having learned to successfully self manage their risk in any market condition
- Experiencing peace of mind knowing they’ve structured their investments to play a winner’s game
- Building their wealth by minimizing investment fees
Who is this small percentage of investors and what makes them different, you ask? Simple, these investors are:
- Well informed
- Self-empowered
- Committed to academic based strategies that leverage mechanical logic
- Tuning out all the market noise, Wall Street hype, and the financial service industry’s marketing machine
- Do-It-Yourself Investors
After two burst bubbles, today’s market volatility and the turbulence, are you ready to put a smile on your face and experience some peace-of-mind? It comes down to one thing: choice.
Whatever your choice, here are two of the best coasters that will bring a smile…enjoy the ride and we’ll see you at the end: Top Thrill Dragster or Millennium Force.
