I think, perhaps at times, we gravitate towards various outlooks in the markets because of the things we have experienced in life. There are many ways to make money in the stock market.
Allow me to share what I’ve learned, why, and what I plan to do for January, 2009 …

Absolutely. They are the WORST type of investor.
Your statement is true.
Government is not an clever investor.
Which is what investors do. Stimulate real economic production.
none, zero!
why?
Macro economics works like your home. You are out of money, you can borrow and put you children to work to remodel you kitchen, but that’s not creating real wealth.
Real wealth comes from economical production.
Thanks much mate. It should prove to be an interesting year, if nothing else.
Happy New Year Buddy. Great trades past couple of days. It seems everythings going according to plan. This world, is on the edge, and people dont want to see it coming.
Wish you the best in this New Year.
Cheers

Thanks for the vid, Dan.
That was a very emotional story, Dan. I’m so sorry you had to live through that! But you’re right. We never know what tomorrow will bring. So we need to live this moment to the fullest.
Great video! Thanks, Dan!
Hi Dan
Can you talk a little bit about what companies you invest, not trade, in. How many companies would you recommend. You talked about Bank of A. and J&J but what else?
Thanks from good old Europe
is “The End of Suburbia” a relevant movie or is just cheap talk?
you know guys I’m tired of all this economy crisis drama. Some say one thing other say it’s gonna be fine.. Who’s lying?
Oil price falling, dollar is rising, food prices falling, stocks are going up..
WTF!
No, there really isn’t.
Dan, I was personally more enlightend by your story than worrying about stocks. I don’t care if I sit on a mountain of gold. It won’t make a fucking difference if you don’t have anyone to share it with!!!!!! Unlike most people on here, they get way to emotional when it comes to investing. They get way too involved and don’t see “outside” events that might affect their world!
Cause and affect is a prediction of the future. Because that’s what the future is.
There is chance that the stimulus of Obama would work.
I predict that Obama will be president on January 20th 2009.
There is a chance he may get killed between now and then and my prediction would be false.
Thus if I spend all my money and credit I would be broke. However I could win the lottery just before I went bankrupt.
The point is we can predict events with enough certainty that they will come true.
That’s not prediction. That’s cause and effect. The U.S. will fare better than any other country, due to the natural wealth leveraged back in and on itself – and into the system. If the U.S. catches the flu? The rest of the world has the equivelant of ’small pox’.
There’s a difference between cause and effect, once the cause is in place, and prediction. Trying to predict the ramifications of those effects; which is impossible.
No one predicted September 11, 2001.
No one predicted when Ronald Reagan was shot.
No one predicted that a Black Swan would be discovered.
Those sort of events can have a butterfly effect, which – by their very nature – are unpredictable.
The United States is screwed. The rest of the world is facing game over scenarios.
Yes you can Dan. It is predictable because monetary theory is simple. You run of money you can only borrow. You can’t borrow you are broke!
That’s America in 2009.
The longer version of this video will be up on the blog in probably the next 30 minutes …
