Waiting To Invest and Magic Potion
September 3, 2009
Far too many investors are waiting for IT to happen. IT is that fictional moment when the economy is "normal" thus signaling the moment when one can safely increase their stock market positions.
Here's the problem: By the time they react the ship will have sailed and this could very well be the biggest ship we have ever seen.
INVESTOR REALITY CHECK: There is no magic potion you take that instantly teleports you the best time to invest. As a wise investor once said, "Markets don't settle down; they settle up." And that is precisely why you must make investment decisions with your head and not with your gut.
BAD NEWS: There are countless investors out there standing on the sidelines waiting for someone to hand them the magic potion.
Not having enough money to fund your retirement is not a problem. It's a symptom. And it's caused by not having enough assets allocated to ownership positioned to outpace inflation over the long haul.
GOOD NEWS: The smart investors today are taking action before they spend too much time rationalizing why they should not.
GREAT NEWS: You have the opportunity to do the same.
Or maybe someone will eventually discover that magic potion for you.
