Over the past number of months we’ve had some pretty big swings in the market and also in public opinion of what will happen with stocks in the future. I came a cross an objective article written by Anthony Mirhaydari comparing predictions of a few who follow Wall Street…..
Anthony has his commentary and opinion, which I will show some of below, but he also has written about some pretty interesting predictions from Charles Nenner regarding cycles and fate. He noted that most of his past predictions have been “spot on”, so might worth taking a look at his new ones.
He’s also written about another scenario predicted by David Rosenberg which is definitely gloomy. He’s suggesting the next sustainable bull market won’t arrive until 2012 at the earliest.
Oh but wait until you see whattechnical analyst Robert Prechter predicted….. Take a look….. then please comment ~ I’d love to hear your opinion!
“How things have changed. Just three months ago, all was right in the world. The economy was roaring back to life. The stock market was flying to new highs. continue reading »
For years my priorities were to climb the corporate ladder (or to at least stay employed and provide for my family!) It was important for me to have the respect of my peers too and this meant working numerous hours (or so I thought), and giving up things in other areas of my life.
That changed when my husband was diagnosed with Leukemia. It made me realize how precious life is and how much we take for granted when we feel well, and are able bodied. I began to spend more time and energy on my relationships. After a gallant 4 year fight, my husband passed away….. I finally understood that true wealth doesn’t appear on a balance sheet. I also realized that continue reading »
I received this letter from Alexander Green, and felt it important to share with you in it’s entirety. Please let me know your thoughts after taking the time to read it.
Philosopher Peter Singer has a question for you.
As you are walking to work, you pass a small pond and see a toddler splashing along the shoreline. As you get closer, you notice that the child isn’t playing. She is struggling frantically to keep from drowning. There are no other adults around. Would you jump in to save her, even if it meant you’d have to change your clothes and be late for work?
“Of course,” you reply. “The life of a child is far more important than arriving at work on time.”
But let’s say you were wearing a pair of expensive shoes. Would you still jump in to save her, even if it meant ruining your shoes?
“What kind of question is that?” you ask. “Who wouldn’t sacrifice a pair of expensive shoes to save the life of a child?”
Hold onto that sense of outrage for a minute. You’re going to need it.
According to the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), every year 9.7 million children under five die easily preventable deaths. That’s over 1,100 every hour of every day.
Some of these children die because they don’t have enough to eat, others from easily treatable conditions continue reading »
For many people Independence Day (celebrated on the 4th of July in the U.S.) doesn’t conjur up much thought except they get an extra day off work (those who are still working), and where they should go, and what will they BBQ.
Others, will attend local parades and get into the “feeling” a bit more as they will see those in the parades who have served their cities (ie: firemen, police, and yes – politicians). Some parades will also have veterans of past wars, reminding us we are blessed to still be a free country and the sacrifices many have made.
Yet an even smaller group will actually reflect on the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the visionaries who put their lives on the line to do so. (Maybe our politicians should reread this document occasionally).
But what about all of the individuals who are claiming their independence daily? Who are making a difference in spite of any hardships they’ve encountered? We are fortunate that in America, we all have a choice to follow our dreams. The video of this young man who is doing just that is heart warming, inspirational, and yes, hilarious! I hope you take the couple of minutes it takes to watch it, then tell me what you think….
Wishing you an excellent Holiday weekend, however you choose to spend it.
Until next time, J.
