Good Morning Friends,

Last day on the job friends and then a few more days off again. It was bright and sunny out yesterday and a real nice day. Not too much dough though so that was the only downside. Well, actually, there was one more down side and that was the stock market. But, I just want the whole thing to act as a lesson for you. I don't need a lesson personally, because I know how the stock market works. It is a tricky little devil that is what it is. It will confound you and build you up. It can deceive you and it can make you happy or it can make you sad. It is kind of like a woman since it can do so many things that affect the emotions. You love them and you hate them, but at the end of the day you end up needing them, so you just learn to live with them. That is what the stock market is friends.
.
So, let that be a lesson to you. Just learn to take what the market gives. Because what the market gives the market takes away. Good grief, maybe the market is not a woman at all. Maybe it is God. Now, wouldn't that be something? Well, actually friends there is no big mystery here. We are just dealing with human behavior in the broadest sense that is all. The market is what it is. It is just the manifestation of the totality of what people think at any given moment in time, about stocks and the economy that is. How are you supposed to know what other people are thinking? Well, you don't know until the numbers change in front of you. Some people are positive about the market while others are negative. And, don't forget that it is greed and fear that rule the markets anyways. That is one little tidbit that I learned from the pros along the way. But, the really big lesson about the market is that you cannot time IT. I think that is the best saying of all because it is true. You can be on top of the world and it looks like everything is going your way, and then you make a bet. Sort of like at the racetrack if you know what I mean. And, then what happens? Well, the whole thing can confound you and turn against you and make you have a very bad day. Are you sure the stock market is not a woman in disguise? See what I mean friends. That is why man creates gods and even God Himself. Because he just doesn't know. Man the fallible just doesn't know. But, he must learn to live and to accept, whatever is thrown in front of him, and by who or what. That is man's destiny.
